Aldi’s $4 Nonstick Silicone Muffin Pan Is Here, and It’s Perfect for Making Healthy Baked Goods and Egg Bites
Fall is the perfect time of year for crafting baked goods, batch cooking hearty meals and meal prepping foods that are easy to heat up. There's nothing better than having a stocked pantry, fridge and freezer with a variety of cozy foods.
One of my favorite parts of baking and cooking is the smell that wafts through the house, whether it be a batch of blueberry muffins, a set of egg bites ready for breakfast the next morning or mini desserts made for a holiday party.
Aldi's new line of bakeware will allow us to prep all of the things in the oven or air fryer. Many of the pieces dropping this week are silicone, which is great for many reasons. It's flexible, nonstick and therefore easy to clean because food releases easily once cooked, making cleaning a cinch.
Silicone bakeware is also heat-resistant and safe in both the oven and freezer. It's stain and odor-resistant, so your bakeware won't turn colors or retain scents or flavors from previously baked foods.
One of my favorite items from Aldi's line is the Crofton Silicone Mini Muffin Pan because it's perfect for making mini frittatas or egg bites, whole grain muffins with various mix-ins and toppings, mini desserts, mini meatloaves and baked casseroles, macaroni and cheese or taco cups, and tarts and pies.
Crofton Silicone Mini Muffin Pan, $3.99 at Aldi
At just $3.99, this pan is handy and versatile, coming in blue, cream or purple. Each pan has 12 muffin wells, so I assume that rather than being "mini," the wells are standard size. Aldi hasn't released the dimensions or size/volume of each cup, but based on traditional muffin pans, 12 wells is the norm.
The other silicone bakeware and kitchen gadgets dropping this week include 6-cup muffin pans, loaf pans, fluted bundt pans and round cake pans, plus brushes, ladles, spatula spoons, mini spatulas, tongs, mini turners and mini whisks.
Prices are $3.99 for the bakeware items and $1.49 for the gadgets, across the board, and they come in the same colors as the mini muffin pan: blue, cream and purple.
There will also be an assortment of ceramic bakeware in this Aldi drop, including mini loaf pans, cookie sheets, mini ceramic baking dishes, mini pie dishes and ramekins in various colors.
If you're seeking new kitchenware to help you bake your way through the fall and holiday seasons, this assortment drops on Oct. 22. It'll fly off shelves, as Aldi Finds generally do.
