• 11 Silicon in the oven?

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to ED VANCE on Sunday, July 15, 2018 05:17:16
    We bought a 2 piece Silicone Ball Ice Cube Tray.
    ? On the packageing it say something about making Cake Pops.
    Can this be put in the Oven?

    Cake pops aren't usually put in the oven - you
    take crunched up cake and mash it into the molds
    with something to hold them together. I imagine
    they'd be better frozen, btw.

    Nonetheless, if you felt the need to bake little
    teeny cakes in the trays, there should be no
    problem if the silicone is of reasonable quality.

    Vegetarian Meat Curry
    Categories: Indian, Bengali, main, lamb/mutton, nonvegetarian
    Servings: 4

    6 ts whole cumin
    4 in ginger
    2 ts turmeric powder
    2 ts chilli powder
    250 g hung curd/Greek yoghurt
    2 kg diced lamb/goat on the bone
    4 Tb mustard oil
    2 lg bay leaves
    4 in cinnamon sticks
    10 cloves
    2 black cardamoms
    20 cashew nuts

    Niramish Mangsho

    Roast the whole cumin on a warm frying pan for a minute
    until you can smell its aroma. Then powder using a coffee
    grinder or pestle and mortar. Grate the ginger. Then
    marinate the meat at least two hours in the spice
    powders, the ginger and the yoghurt.

    Take the meat out of the fridge well before you are ready
    to cook to bring it to room temperature. In a large pot,
    warm the mustard oil on a high heat. When a wooden spoon
    sizzles when it touches the oil, drop in the whole spices.
    As they sizzle up in seconds, spoon in the meat with its
    marinade. On a high heat, viciously mix the meat browning
    it evenly as you go along for 5 min. Nest, lower the heat
    to medium, pour in 2 c water, cover and cook the meat for
    30 min.

    You need to make sure you are stirring the meat every
    5 min to prevent it from getting stuck or burning. After
    30 min, take the lid off and let the curry bubble away,
    while the meat cooks. remember to keep stirring. While
    this is happening, make a cashew paste with 2 Tb water.
    In the last 15 min of cooking. mix this into the meat,
    then lower the heat to medium low and let the oil ooze
    to the top of the pot.

    The meat takes a good hour of cooking to become really
    tender, and it may take you more. If you are going to
    pressure cook this, I would definitely recommend
    marinating to get the best flavour.

    Serve Niramish Mangsho with lime wedges, cholar dal and
    steaming hot rice for a festive meal. Or just with some
    ready store parathas for an easy supper like I did.

    Thank You.

    Appreciate the Reply as I never heard of Cake Pops being made before.

    Nonetheless, if you felt the need to bake little
    teeny cakes in the trays, there should be no
    problem if the silicone is of reasonable quality.

    The Tray originally was priced $3.99 USD but was in the Clearance Bin and
    sold for 39 Cents.

    Making Ice Balls with Kool-Aid sounded like a good idea to us as well as the PRICE.

    After I got home I saw the words on the packageing about Cake Pops.
    I was afraid the Tray would melt in the Oven so I came here to ask about it.

    Thanks Again.
