From my experience all silicone mats are the same. Buy the cheapest. I don't know any brands of spring form pans, look for a sturdy, heavy one. Some have a lip around the base to trip liquid batters, but this is probably not necessary. Bon Appetit recommends Fat Daddio's which I've never heard of and would put me off because of the name. Curious why you need a cake pan deeper than 2 inches. In all my years of baking I've never needed one. Unless you are going into the wedding cake business, I wouldn't bother.

Mitchell, I love the way you ruminate over your recipes. And I'm totally with you on the crunchy, crispy cookies, even with a glass of milk. Do you know Joanna Chang's Pastry Love collection? I've had some terrific successes with her recipes.

Just what I was dreaming of...curious: is there a difference in quality between the silicone baking sheets? Should I be looking for certain features (clearly, newbie baker)? Is there a brand you rec over another? And while I'm asking (and because there will likely be a recipe that needs this in the future – can you rec a Springform pan and a slightly taller cake pan (my USA cake pan is only two inches tall)? THHHankS!
