Abstract
A flexible bakeware compound includes an addition-cured silicone polymer with approximately 0.1 to 15 weight percent of polytetrafluoroethylene. More specifically, the compound preferably includes a methyl vinyl silicone polymer from about 40 to 70 weight percent, a filler from about 5 to 50 weight percent, chloro platanic acid from about 0.1 to 5 weight percent, and polytetrafluoroethylene in an amount of about 6 weight percent. A flexible bakeware container is also provided that includes a receiving channel in a shoulder of the baking container. A carrier is received by the receiving channel to add rigidity to the shoulder, thereby enabling a user to more easily carry the flexible baking container.
Claims2
A flexible bakeware apparatus comprising:
- a basin configured to receive a food substance;
- wherein the basin is formed from a mixture including:
- a methyl vinyl silicone polymer from about 40 to 70 weight percent;
