Muffin tins

[frequentflier]

Does anyone use and like silicone for baking? Other than making egg muffins, I rarely bake. And the extra large (maybe teflon?) muffin tin I have really sucks and proved it again with the pumpkin muffins.
We recently pureed pumpkins and I made a double batch from a 50 year old recipe a friend that used to own a bakery shared with me. I used every tin, loaf pan and anything I could find to bake them. They turned out great and some are in the freezer (as well as more pureed pumpkin)
But...I really like the size of a large muffin (for both the egg muffins and now pumpkin) The large muffin tin needs to go in the trash and I am looking for a suitable replacement.
Pros and cons on silicone bake ware?
TIA

My experience with silicone is that whatever I baked tasted like silicone. I don't know if there are different brands or types, but what I I used I didn't like.

I got a silicone muffin tray, not thrilled with it. It's actually a metal tray with silicone cups. Prefer paper/foil cups.

I don't know if they make huge paper or foil cups because I prefer the larger sized muffins.

Thanks for sharing that. That is exactly why I asked!

A quick search of Amazon brought up lots of options. IDK if you order anything from Amazon, but they have many, many different options. I have an account, so let me know if you'd like me to order some and you can repay me in pumpkin muffins.

I like and use the Tulip Liners

I did get some of the jumbo liners off Amazon.
Currently, the house smells wonderful as I am baking my Mom's recipe for banana/nut bread. The Chesapeake Marketplace is having an open house this weekend and I will take some to share. If my husband doesn't eat it all
