Unfortunately I don't have time to read previous comments but in Europe where I live food/health authorities consider silicone as non-toxic and save as long as you don't warm it up to more than 200°C (approx 400 F). Only when it gets warmer the material will release toxic stuff. I mostly bake at 180 °C (350° F), so for me the convenience and not wasting food and paper is more important. In Europe food security standards are quite strict so I really trust in those recommendations. And I try to purchase only high quality products produced in Europe. I really enjoy your content. Thank you! Greetings from the Swedish West Coast, Barbara

...In live in Europe too. Now Ireland, originally from Germany. And while I agree with everything you say :)) ...

They have cast iron muffin pans. They are heavy, but easy to use and don't need much cleaning. You just wipe them out with a little salt and a wet cloth. It's a very healthy way to put iron in your diet that your body absorbs better than supplements.

I use USA Pans for all baking (they are silicone lined). A lot of homesteaders I follow also use them. They are wonderful because you don’t need to add any oil, butter, or flour to anything you are making because they are non stick (with the built in silicone lining) and they clean beautifully. I have researched silicone quite extensively and everything I find says if you keep the heat under 400 degrees it is safe. I am accepting this because as I”m sure everyone on this type of channel knows, you can go down SO MANY rabbit holes today trying to find what is safe and best because of how much damage they have done with the food supply, materials used when cooking, etc. And I won’t even start on pharmaceuticals and jabs:-(.

[@leichterlernen]

Thank you so much for your recipes and the insights into how you organise the food in your family. I find your videos very calming and inspiring! Regarding your concerns with silicine muffin tins: I like to use enamel for baking. It is absolutely food save, it transfers the heat evenly (for larger cakes), the baked dough/cakes come of easily because the surface is so smooth,and it looks very pretty. I have an enamel muffin tray from an Austrian company but I am sure there are enamel companies in America as well. The downsides are that you have to grease it carefully, its heavier than silicone, it is much more expensive (but will last a lifetime) and it takes more space in the drawer.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

This is a very insightful comment! Thank you for taking the time! I’m going to look into something like that for a muffin tin. Love investing in pieces that will last a lifetime. ❤️

I use a standard muffin pan, but plastic of any kind makes me nervous, so I don’t use silicone. Instead, I use the older version paper muffin liners. They work to keep my pan clean and make pulling the muffins out of the freezer easy, as they don’t stick to one another.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TheJoyfulMom]

I use unbleached muffin liners (if you care brand). I have heard about that with silicone a while back so I've always been scared of using it in heat. I've also heard that most silicone isn't pure. If you take the silicone and pinch/bend it and it turns white then it has fillers and isn't 100% silicone. The only silicone that I have found that doesn't turn white when pinched is a spatula from ikea that I use to scrape my bowls. That is the only silicone I feel comfortable using in my kitchen.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

That’s interesting about the pinch/bend - I’ll have to check for that! Thank you for sharing!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Can't wait to try your blueberry breakfast meatballs! I'm lucky enough to live in North Carolina where I have access to two really great fairly local sausage brands with clean ingredients. One is simply pork, salt, spices, monosodium glutamate, sage extractives. No sugar. I don't mind the tiny amount of MSG in there - it doesn't affect my migraines at all. The other is simply pork, salt, spices, sugar. Again, the sugar here is so tiny it shows up in the nutrition info as 0g per serving. And both of these are absolutely delicious! They also don't come in extensive plastic wrappings - one comes wrapped in a heavy waxed paper and the other comes in paper that's plasticized on the back side against the sausage. And both are 1 lb bulk. They sell shaped sausages, as well, but I think they may have other ingredients. Having said all that, I do still make my own sometimes (my recipe is different) using ground pork. I think I'll give them a try using some of my purchased sausage - considering trying the extra sage flavor and adding a tiny bit of maple syrup or making a maple cream to dip them for eating. About breakfast muffins - I agree 10 eggs per dozen muffins is just right! Same, actually, for my favorite breakfast casseroles. As far as muffin tins and liners go, I've never used them. I'm not even sure what my muffin tins are made of - steel maybe? They've been passed down in my family and I think date back to at least the turn of the last century! They're a bit larger than today's standard muffin cups and have a pretty swirled design with rounded bottoms (still wide enough so muffins, etc stand easily). Anyway, I've always just greased the heck out of them for things like muffins and greased and floured for cupcakes. I do have silicone cups, but use them for candies and other projects where things might be warm (melted chocolate) when put in, but cool quickly.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks for sharing! Awesome that you have access to good meat! That’s great! Your muffin tin sounds awesome. We love investing in the things that will hopefully be passed down for generations to come!

[@karengarber8257]

I have been reading that heating silicone is not the healthiest for us as well. Neither do I like my food to come in contact with aluminum. At this time I think the best thing is to use the paper liners. The bottoms can stick but I have found that greasing the bottoms before filling will help the food to release better. A bit tedious but worth it in my mind. 😊

[@OneWeighorAnother]

I love making egg cups. 10 eggs is perfect for 12 muffins, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so! We top ours with cheese when they come out and I have found that large chunks of bacon are unappealing (the texture gets weird!) so we don’t add bacon, but I will add it to the top when they’re done or wrap them with bacon after (the cheese I mentioned makes them stick) sausage tends to be our favorite combo but I have made pepperoni ones too that got gobbled up. I just butter my pan and use the pan then dump them out when they’re done. No need to wash a bunch of silicone cups. I tried paper cupcake liners but they were awful to peel and it changed the texture of the egg (I think because the paper absorbed so much moisture.) They were terrible. We wound up feeding them to the dog. As far as safety goes, my cupcake pan is made of the same material as my cake pans and casserole dishes so I don’t feel like it’s any more dangerous to eat the muffins if I would bake it in the same type of dish as any other recipe. I have silicone, glass and metal bakeware. It’s impossible to know which ones are more/less dangerous but we do our best. The only thing I really avoid is scratched bakeware (meaning scratches in the non stick coating, not just well loved pans)

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks so much for sharing all of this!! Your egg cup combinations sound delicious! I like the idea of sprinkling bacon on top!

Try adding some of your collagen powder to your snack gummy's. I use the same amount of gelatin as collagen powder. Example 1/4c gelatin & 1/4c collagen.

Does your dog live outside? He / She is beautiful what kind of pup do you have? Do you only use your cows milk? What do you do when she is pregnant? Love your breakfast ideas.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thank you! Yes, Stella is a Maremma livestock guardian dog. We've raised cows for both milk and meat in the past. She's dried up right now so we try to stockpile milk in the freezer for this season. She's due to calve any day now!

[@kathryn.gardner.counseling]

Great ideas!! Your family is so sweet! ❤🙏🏼 And I hope your finger heals quickly. I cut my hand too - I didn't realize how often I used both hands to do something! 😂

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thank you!! Yes, I felt the same way. I was super glad it was my left hand at least. Thanks for watching!

[@sallyvernon2375]

for those who are looking for products sold at grocery stores that have better ingredients, look for green on the packages and/or the word 'Natural' and check ingredients, there are still some that aren't bad, often generic products use fewer fillers

[@judymccord871]

Love your videos! I am going to be making a lot of your recipes and put them in the freezer. Thank you for sharing!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Wonderful!! I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!

[@mindyschiedler1386]

Love this video! I have been looking for some simple breakfast items to have on hand for me and my 19mo old son, I want to avoid the snacking if I can haha!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

So glad this was helpful!! Thanks so much for watching! :)

I oil the metal muffin pan, then when they are still warm i go gently around with a butter knife and pop them on a cooling tray. Havent needed to line it yet

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Great! Thanks for sharing! I’m going to look for a new pan and go this route!

[@elishamiller9326]

I've found two ways to avoid the paper/silicone muffin cups. 1) is to grease the muffin tins with coconut oil, this helps them come out really easily. 2) to get stoneware muffins pans. Stoneware works very similarly to cast-iron pans in its care (no soap) and that you let the stoneware season like cast-iron. I know that a company called pampered chef at least had muffin pans, not sure if they still do our not

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thank you for sharing! Very. helpful!

[@EdiChiArt]

I make muffins exactly as you. Food grade silicone is not toxic. Just like your large plastic pails with lids especially made for food storage.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks for sharing and watching! :)

[@hickoryhillinthebigwoods-r759]

As much as I hate cleaning muffin pans, I just grease well, bake, remove, soak, and scrub with a cloth or bottle brush. I love all your ideas and I too was so disappointed when I found out silicon was toxic at high temperatures because I used a lot of parchment, especially on pizza night! Your recipes and thoughts really encourage me to plan these breakfast foods better. We don't eat pork, so finding good quality ground chicken and turkey is what we need to look for. Store bought turkey sausage looks disgusting.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

From all of the comments, I think I've landed on finding a quality, non-toxic pan and greasing it myself. Thanks for sharing! So glad this was helpful for you! Thanks for watching!

[@sherielpoel8641]

I'm a very old school great grandma and see that there are comments on using cast iron. Cast iron is good but don't use the new cast iron pans. Unfortunately, the newer iron pieces aren't very pure. For years people who are seasoned cast iron fans have said "only use the older Wagner or for sure Griswold pieces. 30 yrs ago I was told that Lodge was not good. I recommend as others parchment paper. Love your videos -

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@Sabrina1998]

I have both, silicone and paper cups. As stated in one of the comments, silicon is safe if not heated above 400F but if you are conferences just switch over to paper or use some fat. ❤

[@chriskoch1241]

Ooooh! An Aga stove....yes!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

The best! Thanks for watching!

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

I had to look up what nettle is! Always learning!!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Love that!! It's out in full force right now by us :). Thanks for watching!

[@susanbhatt3128]

So interesting and inspiring, thank you

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

You're welcome!!

[@SuperKathio]

You can use paper muffin cup liners commonly used for cupcakes found in baking department of grocery stores.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks!

[@janefeely6070]

Hows about pouring this into a greased pie plate and slicing it into wedges...easy peasy lol ❤

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

That's a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@carriem7832]

I grease my muffin pans with bacon grease using a brush….gives the savory muffins slight flavor and they come out easily. I don’t bake in silicone at all because of the chemical release I heard about. Brown paper liners from store or for larger muffins I cut brown paper in squares then dampen slightly to press into the muffin tin…….I cut the square ahead of time while watching a program or listening to a pod cast….when my granddaughter comes over she likes to cut paper so I let her do it….great hand eye task. To save time I often just bake in a pan and cut into squares the size we use….yesterday I made a oatmeal bar with ground chia seeds, dehydrated blueberries, protein powder ,cinnamon sugar topping……..breakfast bars are my favorite that I can nibble on with coffee as I start the day. I pack them in my husbands cooler for a quick snack since he is not a breakfast eater. Frozen tea or juice cubes in a mason jar makes the cooler stay cold till he’s ready and it becomes a cold drink with his snack

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks for sharing all of these great tips! Very helpful!

[@csdunavan]

I don't cook with silicone anymore because unfortunately most silicone has heavy metals that can be transferred to food. Instead, I use cast iron pans (I have a muffin pan and a mini cake pan that work perfectly for my egg muffins.) Leadsafemama has good information about the safety of various kitchen and household items. I'm sorry about your finger - I hope it heals quickly!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks you and thanks for sharing what you do!

[@lovlyb1541]

Great videos as always. Much love from Germany

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thank you!! :)

[@stitchingafterbedtime]

This was my first time coming across your channel. I really enjoyed your breakfast ideas. I promptly subscribed and will go back through your catalog of videos.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Wonderful! So glad this was helpful! Thanks for the encouraging comment!

[@sashal.n9454]

Awww, we have a great pyranees too!!♡♡♡ they're the best!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Aw! So fun! Stella is actually a Maremma but they look SO similar to great pyranees!

[@helenshack2838]

What kind of flavour does the dried nettles give ? Can you substitute anything else ? Parsley, dill, green onions ? Re your muffins. Next time you go shopping buy a lot of bananas. A surplus of over ripe mashed bananas can be frozen in small batches and you can pull out anytime to make your banana muffins

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

The nettles really don't give a strong flavor it all. Finely chopped kale is probably the best substitute. Good idea on the bananas! We love to do that if they have the bruised ones on sale. Thanks for watching!

[@elainegreen6487]

Love your AGA! Mine is a four oven in aubergine.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thank you!! That sounds stunning!

[@kendallprecour]

I use parchment cupcake liners in metal baking sheet

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks for sharing!

[@PringoOrSomething]

I probably wouldn’t worry about the cups even if there was something “toxic” it’d be so minute that it’d practically be nonexistent
