I have 2 silicone square pans which I bought on impulse. What a waste of money! Silicone gives an off smell (rubbery)to my baked goods. Moreso, its hard to make tancha the time when used on baking. I used it for my brownies and it came out spongey…

Ah bouquet garni, I too was the lucky recipient of a thoughtful pasalubong round twenty years ago, a French fowl needle and a bag full of yet smaller muslin bags with drawstring opening that’s just ideal for holding varying combinations of fine herbs for whatever dish that calls for it. You have to pay through the skin of your teeth for them as for most things at the William Sonoma sharkshops.

The foodloop has become an indespensible tool in my kitchen since receiving it for Christmas last year. It is so easy to use and clean up is effortless indeed. I’ve used them on poultry, roasts, and even for bouquet garni. Although they don’t recommend using it in a rotisserie, I routinely grill with it and have not encountered any problems. However, when using in a rotisserie, it is necessary to tuck in the tail end so it does not dangle over the fire. I only wish it came with it’s own clip so it can stay securely attached to the loop itself.

As for other silicone kitchen gadgets, they are simply amazing. I will not be able to do without my spatulas, pans, mitts, and especially my Silpats.
