It's a moral position. In my opinion, one should not bake on sheets or in receptacles made out of the same material as "marital devices" or breast implants. It's just wrong, on a purely visceral level. I mean, feel that stuff! Yuck.

It's not the same material. It's as close to the "same" material as coal is to gasoline or nylon. It's just a catch-all term for polymers made with silicon atoms in place of carbon atoms. Higher melting temperature, less inflammable.

I will happily accept all donations of your silicone cooking apparatus!

It's not my cooking apparatus; it's Maggie's.
