in winter, outside.  I do that will most of my silicone pans.  Never had one that baked decently for me.  They also tend to get sticky with time and smell funny.  

Got any that look like rabbits?  Now that it's freezing, Crystal clear rabbits would look good in my garden this time of year.

Hi Mini,

Unfortunately we don't have any that look like rabbit but thanks for the great idea about our next product ;o) 

I'm not sure about the loaf pans you have been using but the reviews we have received have not reported such issues...

you can have a look at a few using the following link ...

Great idea Mini, need to go find a plastic bunny rabbit of the right size and proportions for the ice sculpture. Wax the surface with several layers of hard wax. Prepare the surface further with a layer of PVA mold release. Obtain some RTV rubber mold compound and coat the prepared bunny rabbit with several layers and let the rubber set-up - unmold the original bunny rabbit from the new mold.

Invert the mold into a framework that will hold the mold upside down - boil some water and allow to cool somewhat before pouring into the bunny rabbits bottom. Set outside in sub zero weather and in the morning unmold the sculpture and start making another. They'll multiply like rabbits once you get going...,

P.S. Seems no ones making these things. Could work out to be a side biz...,

a good mould release.  Did that back in the early 80's.  A lot of work that...  making models and moulds.  

Not impressed with the opinions of the link.  They didn't comment on the obvious... the sides pushing out on the moulds.

Hey, what about a silicone "pullman" type pan?  Looks a lot like a box with a lid.  Call it "the pumpernickel box."  That might actually work.  Low long temps and trapped steam.  Should someone come up with one, I will honestly test it.  The lid, if made with an overhang, could possibly keep the sides from bowing out too.  If they don't work, I will make ice blocks and build a winter IFO,  an ice oven with red and yellow LEDs to make it "hot!"     :)

At some point the silicone mold becomes just a pan liner. Why not use a spray on non-stick like PAM or line it with parchment?

It might have a chance as a liner for pumpernickel [pullman style pan mie pan for side reinforcement] though the available market for home bakers baking pumpernickel is probably not even close in the dreams of someone tasked with unloading a warehouse full of inventory.

Beginning to make your IFO [Ice Fired Oven] with twinkling red/orange LEDs look like a Winter's hope for an early Spring thaw...,

I think it was the medium size cake pan, got made into a gasket for a pump.  So there is some recycle potential.  

 

This is the kind of sideways bowing, I'm talking about.   Most photos are sideways and lower to hide such deformities.  You can see it clearly in the linked video.  With silicone pans I tend to always need a second pan for support to just get the thing in the oven.  You can see in this picture  I was then bent on letting the pan move during the bake.  Why not see where it wants to go?  I removed the end rims of the pan (no change) and eventually the side reinforcements (wonder what purpose they served)  but still not satisfied with a rounder rectangle shape that looks like it flopped.  

After not using the pan for a year, it got all sticky and I tossed it.  Yuck.  And how does one recycle a silicone pan?  So they are not good for the environment either.

I did once invert just the stem (to get it out of the way) of a silicone bundt pan and place on a large silicone cake pan to make a baking chamber, a silicone DO.  It just didn't get hot enough in the air space for what I was baking.  These forms have an upper temperature limit.  Too restrictive for creative baking.
