GOKCEN’s Silicone Egg Bite & Muffin Molds (2-Pack) Review: Worth Upgrading To?
This is a 2-pack of GOKCEN’s silicone egg bite and muffin molds, each pan holding 12 regular-size cups in a blue and green colorway, built from food-grade silicone with a nonstick, flexible surface. The listing frames this specific version as a direct upgrade, stating plainly that it answers customer requests for bigger cups than the brand’s earlier, smaller mold, so if you have tried a GOKCEN’s egg bite mold before and found the cups too small, this is the brand’s own fix for that complaint rather than a simple reissue of the old size. I do want to flag one detail honestly before you buy, the listing states a temperature resistance range of negative 40 to positive 230 without specifying whether that is Fahrenheit or Celsius, and I would not guess at which scale applies since the practical safe-use range differs a great deal depending on the unit, so I would check current product photos or ask the seller directly if that number matters to your planned use.
Best suited for
I would recommend this to a home cook who wants to batch-make egg bites, muffins or similar small baked and steamed treats and has either outgrown a smaller silicone mold or specifically wants the regular, bigger cup size this listing describes. Getting two 12-cup pans in one purchase suits anyone who likes to cook a full batch at once, whether that is a week of meal-prepped egg bites or a double batch of muffins for a gathering. If you only ever make a handful of egg bites at a time and have no interest in batch cooking, two full 12-cup pans is more capacity than you likely need right now, though the flexible silicone material should still store compactly between uses.
What you’re getting
- 2-pack of 12-cup silicone molds, now sized as the brand’s regular, bigger-cup version rather than its earlier smaller mold
- Food-grade silicone construction, with a stated pan weight of 7.7 ounces and a top cup diameter of 2.75 inches and cup depth of 1.2 inches
- Described as multifunctional, suited to muffin cakes, egg bites, tarts, bread, cheesecakes, mousse, jelly, cupcakes, chocolate, custard, ice cubes and fat bombs
- Nonstick, flexible surface designed for easy release by pressing from the bottom of each cup
- Hand and dishwasher safe for cleanup
- Stated temperature resistance from negative 40 to positive 230, though the listing does not specify Fahrenheit or Celsius
- Sold by a stated U.S.-based brand with a 24-hour customer service response commitment
Fit & installation
Each pan holds 12 cups measuring 2.75 inches across the top and 1.2 inches deep, with a stated pan weight of 7.7 ounces, so across both pans in this set you get 24 cups total for batch cooking in one session. That cup size sits in regular muffin-tin territory rather than a mini or jumbo format, which lines up with the listing’s own framing of this as the brand’s bigger-cup upgrade over its earlier smaller mold. Because silicone bakeware like this has no rigid frame of its own, I would still set the pans on a sturdy baking sheet before moving them in and out of the oven or microwave, since a fully loaded silicone mold can flex and spill if lifted on its own without that support underneath.
Materials & care
The listing states these molds are both hand and dishwasher safe, which should make routine cleanup straightforward after baking or steaming egg bites. The nonstick, flexible surface is specifically designed so finished food pops out with a simple push from underneath each cup, which is the main practical advantage silicone has over a rigid metal muffin tin that often needs greasing or lining to release cleanly. On the stated negative 40 to positive 230 temperature range, since the unit is not specified, I would treat the upper limit conservatively until you confirm it, sticking to normal home baking and freezer temperatures rather than pushing the mold to any extreme, and I would also avoid placing a hot mold directly on a cold surface or vice versa, since sudden temperature swings are generally harder on silicone than a steady temperature within its rated range.
Against the usual alternatives
Against a rigid metal muffin tin, the clear advantage here is the flexible, nonstick silicone surface that lets finished egg bites or muffins pop out with a simple press rather than needing grease, parchment liners or a firm tap to release. Against the brand’s own earlier, smaller silicone egg bite mold, this regular bigger-cup version is a direct response to that specific size complaint, so if a prior smaller GOKCEN’s mold left you wanting more capacity per cup, this is the brand’s fix. Against buying a single 12-cup pan instead of this 2-pack, having two pans lets you either double your batch size in one oven or microwave session or keep one pan free for a second recipe, which single-pan listings cannot offer without a second purchase.
Value for money
At $12.99 for 2 pans totaling 24 cups, that works out to a little over 54 cents per cup, which I think is a reasonable price for food-grade silicone bakeware that doubles as egg bite, muffin, tart and even ice cube or fat bomb molds. For anyone planning to batch cook egg bites or muffins regularly, I think the price holds up well against buying a single smaller pan or a rigid metal tin that would need separate liners or grease to match the same easy-release convenience.
What to look at instead
If you specifically need a mini or jumbo cup size rather than this regular bigger-cup format, a different listing sized to that specific dimension would be a better match than trying to scale this set’s capacity up or down. If confirming the exact temperature unit on the negative 40 to positive 230 rating matters to how you plan to use the mold, for example near an oven’s upper range, I would check current listing details or contact the seller before buying rather than assume either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
What I like
- Bigger regular cup size directly addresses the brand’s own stated complaint about its earlier smaller mold
- Two 12-cup pans in one purchase support real batch cooking in a single session
- Nonstick, flexible silicone makes release simple with just a push from the bottom of each cup
- Hand and dishwasher safe for straightforward cleanup
- Reasonable per-cup cost at a little over 54 cents across 24 total cups
- Described as multifunctional well beyond egg bites, covering muffins, tarts, cheesecakes, ice cubes and more
Limitations
- Listing does not specify whether the stated negative 40 to positive 230 temperature range is Fahrenheit or Celsius
- No rigid frame of its own, so a loaded pan needs a baking sheet underneath for stable handling
- 24 total cups across both pans is more capacity than an occasional, small-batch cook may need
- Blue and green colorway only, with no alternate color option described in this listing

My verdict
For anyone who wants to batch-cook egg bites or muffins and either found a smaller silicone mold too cramped or simply wants two full 12-cup pans at once, I think this $12.99 set is a fair, flexible pickup. Just confirm the Fahrenheit versus Celsius question on that stated temperature range yourself before pushing the mold to any real extreme.
