Much Smaller than Standard (Paper) Cupcake Liners and Muffin Tins
I like these cupcake liners, but buyers should be aware that they are significantly smaller than standard (paper) liners. Both the Kitchie and paper liners are 1.25 inches tall BUT paper are 3 inches wide at the top whereas the Kitchies are 2.5 inches wide; similarly, paper are 1.75 inches wide at the base whereas the Kitchies are only 1.25 inches wide. In short, there is a half-inch difference in width, which is a significant difference when you are dealing with such small items.I posted a picture comparing a Kitchie liner to a standard paper liner. I also posted a picture of the Kitchie liner in a standard muffin tin. Again, the difference is obvious.I love the colors, though, and having some choice in the colors, as opposed to those sellers who send you a random selection of whatever they have handy.Despite my disappointment in the size, I am keeping them an using them for mini-muffins, for which they are well suited.PROSBoth hot muffins fresh from the oven and cold muffins that remained in the liners overnight came out of the liners cleanly, retaining their shape, even though the liners were not greased before filling them with batter. Some sticky crumbs remained in the liner but washed out easily.Some choice of color (a color set).The liners do not need to be supported as paper liners do, so they can be placed on a baking sheet and do not require muffin tins to hold them while baking.Food particles wash off easily and the liners did not stain or burn when used.The liners stack neatly taking up much less space than standard muffin tins.CONSSize is significantly smaller than needed for a standard-sized muffin.Packaging is just a cellophane bag with no product information other than the manufacturer's name. This is a problem because I would have liked some material content information and manufacturer contact information.Although these liners wash out very easily, keep in mind that these and any other brand will likely present a problem for your dishwasher. They are small and light, so the water jets in a dishwasher will toss them about unless you have a special adapter or basket to hold them in place. You will end up with little cups of dirty dishwater. Alternatively, hand washing is tedious.In sum, a good product but could be better.

Super cute, save space and replace your muffin pans!
These are the best things since muffin papers! You can forget about having to clean stubborn muffin off of muffin pans, you can make just as many muffins as you want, and you don't have to have muffin pans at all for them! You can literally stand the baking cups up on a cookie sheet or pyrex baking dish, or really any flat oven-safe dish, fill them with batter, and then bake! Then the dish will be clean and all you have to clean are these baking cups.They are top-level dishwasher safe, sometimes they don't come all the way clean, so I like to wash them by hand to get stuff out of the corners. Even washing by hand is super easy, they're flexible so there's no problem reaching the edges. They dry quick, and then stack nicely.These are awesome to save space in your kitchen, tuck these almost anywhere. Plus, a bonus for me, these are (in my opinion) prettier than the basic red or pink/purple colors, I love the blues and greens. I have even mad mini pies in these (or you could do tiny cheesecakes!) and served them in the cup. It's super cute so it's party-ready! I will probably be getting another set soon so I can do even more with them. So far no tears, rips, or melted areas. I love them!

Nice but hard to clean
These liners are nice for muffins as well as keeping portions of food separated in a bento box or lunch container. Muffins come out whole, rather than sticking to the liner. I chose 4 starts versus 5 because they are difficult to clean. Even when sprayed with cooking spray or rubbed with cooking oil, pieces of muffin stick in the grooves. I have scrubbed them and put them through the dishwasher, but they are still not 100% clean.

Ups and Downs
These are great because they can be used in the freezer or the oven, and they are reusable. Also, can use them on a regular tray if you don't own a cupcake or muffin pan. Only downside...they can be hard to clean. I use a brush for washing purposes.

These are great. They are not regular size
These are great. They are not regular size. They are more of a mini to regular size which is fine since they stand up on their own in the muffin tin. They are perfect size for a toddler treat!

love it!
These are perfect for average sized muffins or cupcakes. I love that I can reuse them and not waste paper. Sturdy and super cute! I love the cheerful colors- perfect for parties & celebrations. The muffins came out pretty well, but I think I'd plan on serving these in the cups rather than trying to remove the cupcakes/muffins. I also plan to use them for serving sauces and in lunches to separate items (such as cookies or small food items.

Works great
These work really well but like most reviewers stated they are a bit small. Depending on the kind of muffins I make I might need to soak the liners after I take the muffins out but they do clean easily.

Works for me
Item arrived on time and was what I expected. As other reviewers said they are slightly smaller than cupcake liners, but my purpose is to use them for bento lunches so they work for me.
