Is Silicone Really Safer Than Plastic?

Pam & Rob

Silicone snack bags, baking mats, ice cube trays… it’s everywhere! But is it actually safer than plastic or just plastic’s trendy cousin?

In this episode, I break down:

  • What silicone really is (and how it’s different from plastic)
  • Whether it’s safe for food, heat, and your family
  • What to look for (and avoid) when buying silicone products
  • And my personal take on when to use it — and when to skip it

If you've ever swapped out plastic and still found yourself wondering, “Wait... is this even better?” — this one’s for you.
