Try a silicone baking sheet, see how you like it, then decide on other
items. FWIW the silicone cookware I've gotten from WalMart has been
crappy. I bought two very pretty tubular cake pans and two 9" cake
pans. Grease and flour, oil and flour, Pam, it doesn't matter. They
stick.
As long as you keep it under 500 deg or thereabout, it's fine. There
are LOTS more serious hazards: the idiot behind you in traffic who
thinks he can drive and call at the same time; the Big Mac; hot oil on
the stove, etc.
Popping a loaf of banana bread out of a flexible pan is much easier
than from a glass pan. Used to be that about one loaf in three would
stick... just enough to tear out the bottom of the loaf. :-(

I was advised not to buy the WalMart stuff but to get the better grade
like what they sell in Kitchen Collection. I never did get any, however.
I do use Silpat's on my cookie sheets and my pizza pan when I bake
formed loaves like challah. I love my Silpats.

I have a silicone cupcake pan put out by Pampered Chef in the shapes of
flowers. The cooked product turn out with a perfect shape. The only
problem I've seen with it is with cleanup. It is recommended to spray
with Pam or similar, but since you can't really isolate the spray to the
cup, it burns in between the cups.
Safe? I've never heard anything that says it isn't.

I'm not having that experience. I do warn that getting a filled silicone
form to the oven may require a tray. Once it is in there, it's great and
takes up less space in the cupboard.

My Silpat predates all the rest of mine and it is nice. It's heavy, easy to
use and clean and indispensible for spinning caramel threads. My ensuing
sheets are lighter and more apt to get a wrinkle when laying them down, but
are much bigger, have useful measurements printed on them and are better for
rolling pastry.
The baking forms need seasoning, but work fine once that's done, just make
sure to allow the food to cool a bit before ripping it out of the silicone!
Impatience is a problem with these. Whereas you might use a knife to hurry
a loaf out of a metal pan, do that with silicone and you're dead. Serve
something in its pretty colored silicone pan and you probably will cut it to
shreds. I still like them. I can fit twenty oddball forms in the space I
used to use for 6-8 metal ones.

The only form of silicone that I'm interested in are those silpat
sheets to use for baking cookies. It's interesting that they don't
release right away. Might as well stick with parchment.

You don't have to let them sit for a few moments? The molasses
cookies I made at Christmas were just awful when I came to sticking.
I finally realized that the sugar I rolled them in caramelized while
they were baking and that was the root of the problem. How do you
think Silpat would work with that?
