Silicone for Baking Products

I write this article because in NCC mailist, someone asking about Silicone for baking products. I ever used it before. But I know completely nothing about this products. So I try to search some resources. I will write in Indonesian, if someone need English version, please feel free to contact me :)

***
Penggunaan Silicon untuk Baking
Dari berbagai sumber

Jangan terlanjur takut mendengar istilah Loyang silicone, sebab sebagian orang akan menghubungkannya dengan Silicone yang umumnya digunakan untuk (maaf) operasi pembesaran payudara.

Karet silicone yang digunakan merupakan Polymer, yang secara struktur kimianya terbentuk dari rangkaian silicone-oxygen.

Apakah silicone aman digunakan?

Silicone yang digunakan ini telah diuji aman bagi kesehatan. Struktur kimianya tidak akan bereaksi dan menghasilkan zat-zat berbahaya saat berada dalam suhu panas.

Beberapa kelebihan peralatan masak dari Silicone

  • Sebagaimana karet, strukturnya elastis dan fleksibel. Namun jangan khawatir sebab produk tidak akan meleleh dan berubah bentuk.
  • Anti lengket. Tidak perlu menambahkan butter atau tepung pada loyang. Namun tetap membuat proses pengeluaran kue menjadi sangat mudah.
  • Perawatannya mudah, mudah dicuci dan dibersihkan.
  • Dapat digunakan pada oven gas, oven listrik, microwive, grills, maupun hotplates. Dengan catatan suhu berkisar antara -60 C hingga 230 C (Tergantung keterangan produk)
  • Aman dan dapat langsung digunakan untuk makanan yang sebelumnya disimpan di dalam freezer atau lemari es, untuk kemudian langsung dipanaskan di oven tanpa perlu mengganti wadah.

Loyang silicone umumnya dapat digunakan baking. Namun dari beberapa pengalaman orang yang pernah menggunakan produk siliconee, Loyang silicone tidak direkomendasikan untuk membuat cake dengan struktur yang crunchy di luar. Sebab silicone bersifat insulator, karena itulah untuk pembuatan cake semacam itu dianjurkan menggunakan Loyang dengan bahan metal.

Peralatan masak dari bahan silicone bukan hanya loyang saja. Namun ada juga cetakan muffin, spatula, cetakan agar-agar dengan beraneka bentuk yang menarik.


Beberapa contoh produk dari silicon dapat diintip disini: silikomart, ebay.

Semoga bermanfaat ^_^

Great Weekend With Great Peoples

Weekend again. I only have 2 more weeks here. I will leave Miyazaki heading Tokyo at 9th August. Then I will reach my hometown at 14th. I`m sad leaving Miyazaki, great friends, great activities, great new family.

This Weekend, we visited somewhere in Miyazaki (I forgot the name of the town, hehehe) to see Kayaking Tournament. Great !! But it was soooooo hot. It was raining when we were leaving Dormitory in the morning, so I only brought my rainy umbrella, and no Sun screen lotion. And you know the result : I was totally burned. T_T
Then Sayaka`s mother invite us to eat Kaki Kouri (カキ氷). Another special Kaki Kouri. Not like this one that I tried before, what we tried today was full with fresh fruits and japanese red beans. Nice choice in this hot summer :)

Moving to Miyako City. We ate Okonimiyaki, Japanese vegetable pancake. Thank`s to Sayaka`s funky grandmother. She was so energic and funny.

Next destination : Erikocha Matsuri at Tachibana Douri. A famous summer festival in Miyazaki.
It was looked like a rush hour in Tokyo train station. So many peoples everywhere. Actually, I don`t really like the situation like that.

Before going back home, Sayaka`s Mother brought us some
Yakiudon, and Pizza in the same Okonomiyaki house. I couldn`t eat no more. I was soooo full.

That`s all for today. I`m tired. But I`m happy. Thank you my lovely friends, for giving me this greet weekend with great peoples. It makes me hard to say good bye. T_T

Get Well Soon my Bro

My brother is studying in Malaysia now. In UMT, Terengganu. We know that it`s not one of the best universities in Malaysia. Some peoples are proud but the the others not. Some peoples keep asking why my brother chose UMT, why not any better university. Well, we know that. I completely understand. This is the decision of our family. We passed a hard and long debate to take this decision. It`s the best for my brother, for his future and also for my family.

I believe that my brother can perform well, do his best, and do everything in a good way. We are proud of you, Bro !!!

Now he is sick. Don`t know why. Maybe he is still trying to survive living there alone. Maybe he is too tired, and feels uncomfortable because of the weather, or something. He said that he had been taken away by Ambulance twice. I was so sad knowing this. And if his condition is still same till this Thursday, he needs to do medical check up, and blood test.

Wish there no anything bad. Get well soon bro. Odaijini...

btw, I passed the Japanese Test for today easily. Sure.. It`s the lowest level. Hehehe.. Need to study hard for tomorrow exam, difficult for me. Wish me luck.. ^_^

MUFSA Sports Day

Last Saturday was MUFSA Sports Day. MUFSA belongs to Miyazaki University Foreign Student Association. This annually program was held in University`s Sports Hall. From 9.40 I did Badminton with Jillian as my team mate. And then there was Volley Ball match, I didn`t play bcoz I`m so bad playing Volley :p
Next was Basketball. It was horrible, boys and girls played together. And boys from Egypt, China and Libya were too big comparing to the girls. Once, one of them played unfair. I decided to be supporter, I scared. Last match was Futsal, I really didn`t want to join this one.

And then we went to river, relaxing. The river was so clean, we tried to catch up some small fishes, tiny crab and also cute river prawn. But we failed. Hahaha...

Next destination...105円 Sushi Restaurant for dinner. Ooow.. I`ve told you before that I loooove Sushi very much. At that night I ate 4 plates there and one more plate I ate at home. I Still, aburi salmon mayo was my favourite one.

At the next day I woke up, i felt that all my body was so hurt. Maybe, I did sports too much hehehe...

Tired.. Need massage chair or anyone would like to massage me..? v(^_^)

Paris Brest ini rasanya enak, apalagi kalau habis dimasukkan ke kulkas. Jadinya dingin, ditambah ada jeruk mandarinnya. Mmmm.. Segaaar... Sayangnya karena musim panas, coklatnya jadi mudah meleleh.

Surviving in Summer

Another hot day. My friend, Wan told me that today is 35C. But Husna told me that she saw from Internet that today is 36C. I don't care is it 35 or 36. It`s absolutely HOT.

I planed to go to Miyako City by train with my Taiwan`s friend, Yang. But we really didn`t want to go. It was sooooooo hot outside there. Walking for just 5 minutes had made me sweating out.

I`m trying to survive this summer. I did those things recently (since no AC in my room):
  • Taking shower at least 3 times a day
  • Sitting behind opened window or in front of electric fan, and also let my door being opened.
  • Drinking at least 2 litres of cool or cold water a day
  • Eating ice cream everyday
I will show you Super Ice Cream in Japan, called Kakikori (カキ氷). Comparing with "Es Puter or Es Serut" in Indonesia, you can imagine how hot it is in Japan.

Thank`s to Aiki Sensei & Shinggu Sensei for inviting me.

HOT Summer Comes...

It`s been July..
Hot summer season comes..

Arrrghh... I hate it.. It`s so hot and it`s too hot. It`s still the beginning of summer. I just check a weather website. Miyazaki is 33 C now, but feels like 39 C. Can`t imagine how hot it will be next month. And how dark my skin because being burned T_T

I just have medium size of standing fan in my room. No Air Conditioner. I think, I will spend all my day in Lab, Library, or somewhere that I able to find Air Conditioner. hahaha..

Even it`s so hot, but it just nothing comparing how hot the hell will be.

Enjoy your summer !!

But I forgot that he had planning to hang out with his friend :p So, I was so glad when Pijah invited me to go to the City. We went to AEON, our second house. hahaha. We also met Pat, Wan, Jillian an Rina there. And at night, we asked (pushed) Pat to make Thai Cuisines for us. But then, Ari, Jillian and me also made some food for our great dinner. I love something like this.
