(That's certainly not always true of my cheap supermarket purchases). I must admit that I've since purchased some steel moulds too and used them quite successfully too. I know that some people have had problems getting a good result with silicone but, just a few weeks ago, I was watching a food show on French TV featuring a Michelin three star restaurant and they revealed that they always use silicone when making canelés because they find it easier and more reliable. I'm not sure that the type of pan makes quite as much of a difference as some writers have suggested.Phil in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904292856978631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578151607368747182.post-47048695708942176722022-12-17T18:15:29.570+00:002022-12-17T18:15:29.570+00:00Just looking at my post I put up yesterday, I thou...Just looking at my post I put up yesterday, I thought of you and wondered if you had ever made these.

I think it somehow balances the sweetness. But that's not to say that they won't taste good without it - I've never tried them without the rum.
