As I was cruising the aisles of The 2006 Summer Sourcing Show for Gifts, Houseware & Toys that was held last week, I noticed that there were a lot of products made of silicone material.

Among the larger exhibitors at the show were the folks from Silicone Zone. In addition to looking scrumptiously tempting even without any food in them, their products feel really nice and soft when handled. Easy to use, the silicone cookware can go from temperature extremes of -58 F up to 428F, from freezer to oven. They also claim to use a unique high gloss finish that creates a non-porous, non-stick surface that will not retain odors or flavors, while promoting even heat distribution and quick cooling.

There’s even a short video demo on their site to show you how easy it is to use their line of product.

With such attractive designs and colors, even I will be tempted to pretend to cook just to have an excuse to have some of these fun toys as decorations and to brighten up my dull looking kitchen.
