Product Description
The Mitour 12-Cup Silicone Muffin Pan replaces the conventional metal muffin tin with a single-piece, flexible silicone tray that bakes 12 full-size muffins or cupcakes simultaneously. Unlike a metal pan that requires greasing, parchment liners, or careful tool work to extract baked goods without damage, the silicone pan releases every muffin cleanly when the base of each cup is pushed upward from below — the flexible silicone walls naturally peel away from the baked surface, preserving the muffin's shape and exterior without tearing or sticking.
The one-piece integrated construction means there are no loose cups to arrange, no liner to source, and no assembly required — fill, bake, flex, release. The smooth inner wall of each cavity contributes to an even baked exterior on every muffin, and the good elastic recovery of the silicone material means the pan returns to its flat shape after each use without permanent deformation, even after repeated pulling and flexing during release.
The pan's temperature range of -60°C to 220°C spans from deep freezer storage (for batch-prep frozen muffin batter or ice cream cups) to standard oven baking temperatures for all common muffin, cupcake, and dinner roll recipes. The bright yellow base with scattered sprinkle-style color detailing is a deliberate aesthetic choice that photographs well in kitchen and baking content and makes the pan an immediately recognizable product on retail shelves.
For B2B buyers, the 12-cup muffin pan occupies a high-volume, high-repeat-purchase category. Silicone bakeware consistently outperforms metal tins in online reviews and consumer preference surveys for ease of use, cleanup time, and reusability — making it a reliable SKU for kitchenware importers, baking brand private labels, and gift product buyers seeking a functional, visually appealing baking accessory at an accessible price point.

The integrated one-piece construction bakes a full 12-count batch simultaneously without loose cups, paper liners, or assembly. Fill the cavities directly from a mixing bowl or piping bag, place on a flat baking sheet, bake, and release. The uniform cavity depth (3cm) and consistent cup dimensions ensure even baking times across all 12 positions — no overbaked edge muffins or underbaked center ones.
The smooth inner walls of each cavity have no texture or ridges that trap batter or grease. After baking, the flexible silicone walls peel away from the muffin surface cleanly when the cup base is pushed from below — releasing each muffin whole with the flat bottom and smooth sides intact. No knife running, no tapping, no torn paper liner. The surface releases baked goods without retaining oil, flavor, or color from previous batches.
The wider cold-temperature range (-60°C vs. the -40°C common in standard silicone bakeware) allows deeper freezer storage of filled or frozen portion cups — relevant for commercial food prep, batch-cooking households, and buyers who position the product for freezer-to-oven workflows. At 220°C, the pan handles all standard muffin, cupcake, and dinner roll recipes without deformation.
The silicone pan flexes across its full area, allowing individual cups to be pushed out one at a time from the base without disturbing neighboring cups. This is particularly useful when serving or transporting baked goods — each muffin can be extracted individually while the rest remain in the pan, rather than needing to remove all 12 at once from a rigid metal tin.
The scattered multicolor sprinkle detailing printed on the yellow silicone surface gives this pan a distinct visual character that stands out in product photography, retail shelf arrangements, and baking gift set packaging. The sprinkle motif connects naturally to baking, celebration, and children's food preparation themes — reinforcing the product's appeal as a gift item and brightening kitchen counter presence during use.
Unlike single-use paper cupcake liners, this pan produces zero baking waste with each use. Food-grade silicone is a durable material that maintains its properties over hundreds of baking cycles — supporting a reusable bakeware positioning that resonates strongly with eco-conscious consumer segments in the US, EU, and Australian markets.

Q1: Do I need to grease the pan or use paper liners?
No. The smooth food-grade silicone inner walls are naturally non-stick and do not require buttering, oiling, or paper liner insertion before baking. Batter poured or piped directly into the cavities will release cleanly after baking by flexing the cup base upward. For particularly sticky recipes (e.g., caramel or honey glaze muffins), a very light spray may speed release slightly, but it is not required for standard muffin and cupcake batters.
Q2: Will the pan hold its shape in the oven, or do I need to support it?
When filled with liquid batter, the silicone pan benefits from being placed on a flat metal baking sheet before going into the oven. This provides a rigid support surface that prevents the flexible pan from bowing under the weight of the filled batter during the first few minutes of baking before the batter sets. Once the batter has set (typically 8–12 minutes), the pan maintains shape independently. The baking sheet also makes it easier to handle the filled pan safely when transferring to and from the oven.
Q3: What is the temperature range, and can I use it directly from freezer to oven?
The pan is rated from -60°C to 220°C. It can be moved directly from a freezer to a room-temperature environment for thawing, or placed in a preheated oven after bringing to room temperature. We recommend allowing frozen silicone bakeware to reach room temperature before placing in a preheated oven above 180°C — a 10–15 minute acclimatization prevents any residual thermal stress on the silicone material, although the -60°C to 220°C range is designed to handle broad temperature transitions.
Q4: Can I use this pan in a microwave?
Yes. Food-grade silicone is microwave-safe and does not spark, absorb microwave energy, or deform under microwave heat. The pan can be used for microwave mug-cake style muffins, steamed puddings, or reheating pre-baked muffins. Note that a microwave will not brown or crisp the exterior of baked goods — for caramelized or browned tops, an oven or air fryer oven is recommended.
Q5: How many times can this pan be reused before it needs to be replaced?
Food-grade silicone does not degrade under normal residential baking temperatures and maintains its non-stick properties and flexibility over hundreds of baking cycles. The practical lifespan of a silicone baking pan with normal care (dishwasher or hand wash, no sharp implements) is typically several years of regular use. There is no coating that wears off and no metal that corrodes — the material simply ages with use, with no significant performance change under normal conditions.
Q6: Is the sprinkle pattern food-safe? Will it transfer to the baked goods?
The sprinkle pattern is a printed or embedded surface decoration on the exterior and top surface of the silicone pan — it is not on the interior cavity walls that contact the food. The print does not affect the baking surface and does not transfer to muffins or cupcakes. All materials used in the pan's production are food-grade and BPA-free. Please request a material safety data sheet if your retail listing requires specific food-contact compliance documentation.
Q7: What is the cup size, and does it match standard cupcake recipes?
Based on the pan's overall dimensions (33 × 25cm for 12 cups), each cup is approximately 7.5cm in diameter — consistent with a standard US cupcake/muffin cup size (also called a "standard" or "regular" muffin cup, as opposed to mini or jumbo). Standard cupcake recipes calling for a 12-cup muffin tin will fill this pan correctly. For precise cup dimensions, please request a physical sample for verification before finalizing product listing specifications.
Q8: Can I order this pan in different colors or without the sprinkle pattern?
Yes. Custom colors and custom surface patterns (plain, branded, seasonal, or alternative decorative patterns) are available for OEM orders meeting MOQ. A plain monochrome version without the sprinkle print is available as a simpler OEM configuration. Custom Pantone colors and pattern artwork require sample approval before bulk production.
Q9: What is the MOQ for custom color and logo orders?
MOQ varies by customization level. Standard color (yellow) with logo packaging typically starts at 500–1,000 units. Custom Pantone color silicone or custom surface print requires higher MOQ due to material and print setup. Contact our sales team for a precise quote based on your specifications.
Q10: Does Mitour offer a matching mini muffin pan (24-cup) or other bakeware in the same sprinkle design?
Yes. A 24-cup mini muffin pan in the same sprinkle design is available as a complementary SKU. Mitour can also produce coordinating bakeware in the same color and pattern — loaf pans, round cake molds, and baking mats — for buyers building a branded silicone bakeware collection under a unified design theme.
