Is there a difference between cupcake liners and muffin liners?
No, cupcake liners and muffin liners are the same. We love that using muffin liners helps us guarantee a beautiful muffin that is always easier to remove from the muffin pans. Plus muffins are more hygienic to handle when in muffin liners.
Are silicone muffin liners safe for gluten free?
Silicone muffin liners is an ideal option in gluten free kitchens. The flexible material and nonstick surface allows you to effortlessly slip gluten free baked goods from pans & baking tins, without breaking or splitting. If shared, gluten can leach into plastic, silicone, wood, and other porous materials. You’ll need to replace or have a second set of muffin liners to keep your gluten free baking truly free of gluten.
