    Shane, I do not trust silicone or non-stick baking sheets or frying pans. How do you know these are safe?

      I try to research as much as possible, read reviews, looks at the materials used, and then make the best decision I feel works for me and is safe. I realize people have different points of view of these things and ultimately they have to do whatever they feel is good, safe, and right as their conscience dictates. But, I only recommend things I and my family use. Hope this helps. Blessings.
