What is the maximum temperature for Silicone bakeware?
Solution
First we have to know silicone is a material that is flexible but able to withstand very high heat. Silicone is a synthetic 'rubber' that contains bonded silicon and oxygen. Silicone melts at a high temperature of around 1414o Celsius. Unlike plastic that can easily melt, Silicone does not easily melt.
Complete answer:
Silicone bakeware has excellent non-stick capabilities. So, this is used in making non-stick food making tools. Which saves preparation time and reduces calories (without using oil, food will bake evenly and browns beautifully). Because silicone is flexible, food can be removed without a fuss and doesn't stick.
Silicone bakeware is tolerant of both heat and cold, and can be used in the oven at temperature up to 428oFahrenheit. It can go directly from the oven to the freezer, is microwave safe, and easy to clean.
Hence 428oFahrenheit or 220o Celsius is the maximum temperature for silicone bakeware.
Note:
Autoignition temperature is the highest temperature at which a substance can burn. The critical temperature of a substance is the temperature at and above which vapor of the substance cannot be liquefied, no matter how much pressure is applied. Every substance has a critical temperature.
The substances which have very low ignition temperature and can easily catch fire with a flame are called inflammable substances. Examples of inflammable substances are petrol, alcohol, Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), etc.
