I recently bought some silicon baking pans (silicon insert with metal frame, oven safe up to 500 degrees) as I'm tired of having things stick in my usual metal making pans (9x9 in and 9x5 in) as well as them getting scratched within 4 months. Maybe I need to treat them gentler, but I digress. So I bought a 9x9 and 9x5 in pan made of silicon to try them, and they work great, bake things great, and nothing ever ever sticks. The only thing is they seem to hold onto dish soap taste after they come out of the dishwasher. I've tried boiling them in water after they exit the dish washer, vinegar soak, lots of things, but the taste still remains and makes the edges of my food bitter and a bit soapy. As of yet I'm the only one who notices in my family, but I don't wanna present a soapy product! Should I use a less harsh dishwasher detergent or wash by hand or just clean them with boiling water? (I use tide dishwasher pods along with Aldi's cheap detergent). Should I try soaking them again? Should I abandon my silicon pans completely and just go back to good old metal? Does anyone have any tips/help/info? Aside from the slight taste, I think they're pretty great pans. Merry Christmas everyone!!
