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.
