Silicone and Breakfast Sandwiches: NY Times Dining in 60 seconds

The silicone cookware industry is growing every year and the NY Times goes to great lengths test out the properties of silicone bakeware, which make up 7% of the bakeware market overall. Their conclusions? It is not nonstick, but stick resistant. It is not good for everything. High quality silicone products are expensive, while others may contain fillers that compromise their heat resistance. The final list of the products included potholders and a few other things on the "recommended" list, while cake pans and measuring cups made the "not recommended" list.

Until recently, the food was always secondary to the coffee at Starbucks, but now that the company is trying to compete with McDonalds and other quick-service breakfast places, they are quickly trying to make up lost ground.

Kidfresh is a children's food store, meaning that everything except the food has been scaled down.

I think the patron quoted in the article regarding the quality of the croissants is correct and this will make it much harder for them to get people to intend on buying food their. Plus, you've got to figure time will be a factor. Given my local Starbucks production time during the morning rush, I would not increase my wait time for the food. Even if it were better, I am not a morning person. And, whichever establishment can get me edible food the fastest wins.
