Why Choose Foil Cups
Foil cups, also called foil baking cups or foil liners, can withstand more heat than paper baking cups and conduct heat 30% better. Made of aluminum foil, Foil cups can efficiently conduct heat and easily achieve ideal baking results.
Foil liners with strong walls can stand on their own without deformation and come equipped with a variety of plastic lids. They clearly display ingredients and are suitable for making cakes and desserts such as jelly, pudding, and ice cream.
How to Use Aluminum Foil Cup in Oven
Aluminum foil cups are used for baking cakes and can be safely used in the oven. Carefully check the cup body for deformities before using it. If it is deformed, do not use it. Here is how to use the foil cup in the oven:
- Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to the appropriate temperature before putting the foil cup in.
- Check the cup. Check the foil cup carefully before use to make sure there is no deformation or damage.
- Add the batter. Prepare your batter and ingredients according to the recipe.
- Set the oven to 180 °C and bake for 20–30 minutes. Too high a temperature or too long a time may cause the foil cup to deform or the food to burn.
- Use an insulating pad. To avoid burns, use insulating gloves or an insulating pad when removing the foil cup.
Foil vs Paper Baking Cups
You have to buy foil baking cups separately. Paper cups might need a liner to keep batter from spilling while baking.
Foil cups heat up quickly and ensure even baking. Paper cups do not conduct heat well, which can result in uneven baking. The two also have a big difference in appearance.
Foil baking cups possess a metallic luster, and manufacturers can customize them in size and shape. The inner wall can be wrinkled or smooth. The wrinkled inner surface of a paper cup easily sticks to the cake.
Finally, the only downside of aluminum foil baking cups compared to paper baking cups is their higher cost. Customizing may require payment for the mold, especially in this case. But this is totally worth it, because no matter where you go, you will have to pay for special requirements. At Yongsheng, we insist on providing you with the most reasonable quotation to help you control costs.
Do I Need To Grease Or Line Foil Cups
You do not have to grease or line aluminum foil baking cups; it all depends on your preference. When baking cakes or cookies, use a little oil or a paper cup sleeve to prevent sticking. This works well for liquid foods. For some non-stick foods, such as rice, you don’t need to grease or line them with paper.
Sometimes you want to make delicate pastries, so you can choose colored aluminum foil baking cups or colored paper cups.
When cooking, use oils like vegetable or olive oil that can handle high temperatures. Just use a brush to gently apply it on the inside, and don’t apply too much, which will affect the taste of the food.
For baking paper, you only need to cut it into a circle of the same size as the bottom of the cup. Then gently press it to fit the wall of the cup.
Why Do Foil Cupcake Liners Come With Paper
Some foil cupcake liners often come with a paper liner. The paper liner helps the pastry keep its shape and prevents the foil cup from collapsing when you add batter. The paper liner effectively insulates the batter from the foil, as designed. The paper liner keeps the cupcake from sticking to your fingers or losing its shape when you take it out.
Can Foil Muffin Cups Go in Oven
You can use aluminum foil muffin cups in the oven to bake muffins and cupcakes. They are safe to use because they can withstand high temperatures. The reason for this is that aluminum foil is sturdy and non-reactive, making it safe for use in the oven.
Aluminium foil muffin cups have a smooth surface. This makes it easy to remove muffins or cupcakes after baking. They are convenient to use.
Finally, you can dispose of foil muffin cups after use and do not need to wash them. This disposable feature is important, especially for bakeries.
