Title: This is NOT non-stick!
Product review: I bought this pan based on KitchenAid's (well-earned) good reputation and my excellent experience with silicone baking mats (Matfer Exopat). Unfortunately, this pan does not perform anything like silicone baking mats, and it's surprising KitchenAid would put its name on it. A couple of hints that this would not work: first, this pan's silicone is not the same shiny, slick stuff as the Matfer or Silpat baking mats--you can see it and feel it in its dull, rougher texture. Second, the brief instructions call for oiling the pan (!)--why should silicone have to be oiled? I went ahead anyway, with horrible results. Cranberry-orange loaves stuck badly and fell apart; french bread and honey-wheat bread stuck; bar cookies stuck....The highest temperature I used was 385 degrees, and yet the pan gave off a synthetic, burning rubber smell each time--disconcerting, to say the least. I really wanted this pan to work, but unfortunately it does not.
