I agree, I purchased a high end GE Profile double oven, the first time I used it, I set the oven to 375 degrees, I placed my Pyrex dinner in the oven, ten minutes later the entire dish exploded.
I tested the oven temp the next morning, again, set to 375 degrees, the oven went to 500 degrees! More than what the Pyrex was rated!
I am still waiting on my new oven.
GE is replacing it.

Katie avoids using silicone for baking in.

Ha! I do! I ‘hate’ seeing fruit in plastic containers and can smell a putrid chemical reaction. I suppose it’s a chemical reaction. Eieuww!

Donna — I would suspect that some of the ingredients in the cookies had fat in it, even if no oils were added directly.

FDA is beyond a joke but it’s the peoples fault. If the people allow big industry (that majorly influence or dare to say control the government) to determine what is safe and what is not. What we should and can by and what we shouldn’t. We let them convince us that we need to be lazy at cooking or cleaning. That we need all these chemicals in our lives when it’s all for their bottom line profits and we pay the price (in all regards). The masses do not think for them selves and will not spend their own personal funds to fund better alternatives to the FDA or other organizations that should be protecting us better. The sad thing is that it is everyone’s money that eventually fund these and it’s really a waste of resources, especially when big business can lobby the government or have influence over the FDA and other programs.
As you said, plastic that has pumped our developing youth with high levels of synthetic estrogen. This has weakened boys growing into pseudo men and girls growing into pseudo women filled with testosterone rage. Yes the female body will produce more testosterone when sensing high levels of estrogen. Of course, the male body does the inverse and testosterone is reduced in the presence of high estrogen. This has been happening since Tupperware entered our homes and has been proven by so many studies and research. Why, WHY does society not listen nor believe this is worse than lead lined aqueducts poisoning the Romans? Many may have declined mentally but at least they were not majoring effected by hormones to the point of where we are now and where we are headed.

Read the comment again carefully. The poster said the cookie batter had no oil added to it.

I too am wary about silicone baking pans and mats. Sticking with glass, metal, and teh brands of unbleached parchment that have no silicone coating.

LFGB silicone is much safer than FDA approved silicone.

Ben, I use the Whole Foods 365 brand of unbleached parchment paper.

Interesting. May I then ask what anyone here uses best for unbleached parchment paper. I believe the non-bleached brands use silicone.
