- Let food rest briefly on the surface after baking. A short rest firms things up and makes the already-easy release even cleaner.
- Flex the silicone kitchen tool gently to release food rather than prying with metal utensils. The flex is the feature; let the material do the work it was designed for.
- Rinse the piece soon after use, before residue dries. Prompt rinsing is the entire secret to effortless silicone cleanup.
