Oven-baked paws

KRISHA WILLIAMS-TURBEVILLE

The Animal Rescue Site offers baking tools with a bite.

Easy to clean, the six-muffin Paw Print Silicone Muffin Pan is available at The Animal Rescue Site for $12.95.

With each Paw Print Silicone Muffin Pan purchased, The Animal Rescue Site will fund 14 bowls of food for animals living in sanctuaries and shelters.

Baking in silicone provides great results, as it provides even temperature for perfect browning and easy release when bending the pan to unmold adorable paw-shaped muffins. Dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe.
