Is it ok to put cupcake batter in plastic molds then bake it? Or will the plastic melt?
Depends on the.plastic some you can some you can't.
Trying new things with different molds? Tired of having to buy pre-made plastic molds for you to do anything? Look no further, because this article tells you how to make the quickest and easiest plastic molds you could find. Instructions: 1. Mix the sulpha-plastic thoroughly until it is smooth. You put together 25 parts for graphite and then use 75 parts sulfur. 2.Place this mixture over heat. Be sure you have it in a bowl and are not using any open flames when heating the product.
Most plastics will melt around 100-150 degrees celcius (roughly 212-310F). Are the molds really made of plastic or are they the rubbery silicone kind? Silicone will hold up until over 300c/600F no problem. When in doubt, get a cheap pack of paper cupcake liners for your cupcake tin (you are using a cupcake tin, right?) and use those instead.
