A dumb question about Reynold's foil cupcake liners . . .

[kremsh]

I think they put the paper liners between the foil ones so you can get them apart. Just my thoughts. I don't know what purpose there would be in using two when you're baking them.

Doesn't make much sense to me just to separate them from each other. The regular liners make it easy to take them out of the pan and you still have to peel them away from the cupcakes anyway....I think we need an infomercial to explain it to all of us!

Hey, that's a good idea! Infomercial, please.

I use them both! I've always figured the white ones were supposed to be thrown away, buy I just can't do that. They seem to work fine.

"If I am using Reynolds® Foil Baking Cups, should I remove the paper separators or leave them in?
Reynolds Baking Cups are packed with paper separators to prevent the foil cups from fusing together during manufacturing. These paper separators should be removed before filling the foil baking cups with batter. The paper separators are the same as our Pastels Baking Cups."

Guess you get double duty out of them, if you want. I've never really used them, but assumed they were strong enough to be used without a muffin pan if you didn't have one. Learn something new everyday!

So they expect people to throw away the separators, but buy the Pastels and use them? How funny...
