Can silicone go in the oven?

jwpbride · December 2010

I'm recycling some crayons and the whole "tin can in a pot of boiling water and tedious pouring into the mold" thing got old after 2 colors.

I saw where someone just put broken crayons in a muffin pan and put them in the oven. Another person used a silicon (looking) jello mold in the oven. I have food-grade silicone, dishwasher safe (if that matters, heat-wise) square ice cube trays- do you think I could put that in the oven?

I once had a silicone loaf pan that came free with some other bakeware. It specifically said that it was oven safe though.

There is some conflicting info out there some say it has to say oven safe. the one common thing I found is as long as it is 100% silicone it's ok to put in the oven

I took my chances and threw it in there (I have an extra if it got all jacked up!). I just pulled them out of the oven and they're cooling- the colors look awesome!

Why, hello, Kettle! How's it feel being awesome at everything? Huh?

Those are fabulous. I should totally do something like that for my little guy -- he's always breaking the crayons. grrr.

Ooh, this would be fun to do with the IKEA ice cube trays we have that are in the shape of stars and hearts- DS would love that! He's got a bunch of crayons that have seen better days.
