Silicone Kitchen Gear

Equipment-obsessed Dorie Greenspan confesses to a love of silicone ... in the kitchen. It seems a silicone version of everything from muffin pans to rolling pins is available now. We asked Dorie to name some of her favorites:

• Spatulas in an array of bright colors.


• Pot holders, trivets, and oven mitts.


• Basting brushes made by Orka.


• Silpat baking mats.


• Rolling pins and baking pans.


• A dual-ended spatula called a "Switch-It" made by Chef'n.
