Honestly, comes out the same as using saran over bowl and short burst nuking. It's fun to have toys, though.

It didn't make a good first impression but it might be ok - I'll update after cooking something in it. [only posting now in case this info is helpful to someone as is.]It's very soft and floppy but the upper edge (outer ring) gives it some rigidity - you certainly can't fill it with liquid or batter then pick it up with 1 hand but I was able to set it on the counter then fill it with water (up to about half an inch of the top was about 24 oz) and then use 2 hands to lift it from the counter and pour the water out.It has no odor [yeah I know it's not supposed to...sometimes "food grade silicone" does have an unpleasant odor)I like to do "mug muffins" where I triple the recipe and the dish I use for that doesn't cook evenly (in the microwave) in the middle, hence the attraction of the "donut" shape. One of these days I'll try this out for that and do an update here.This is so soft and thin, especially at the lowest area, that I'm concerned regarding using it for baked goods - as a gelatin mold it's probably fine if handled carefully. I chose this smooth one because I feared the fluted/decorative ones would be harder to get my cake out. Now I'm wondering if one of those would have been a better choice. (Assuming they would be more rigid.)

Ease of use.

This is exactly the product I wanted, a smaller ring mold for making various combinations of leftovers (most recently a fish loaf from leftover fish, vegetables, and bread crumbs) that could be unmolded easily and served attractively with rice, greens, or a little sauce cup in the middle. It can similarly be used for desserts.It is a smooth mold, not fluted, which makes it somewhat less decorative, but more easily unmolded. It will fit inside of an Instant Pot.Virtually all other ring molds are too big for my purposes. This is the ONLY smaller size I've found, and I snapped it up immediately.

It's not quite big enough for what I need but it's the best one I could find so I knew it was going to be a little small. I just do a double batch and make 3 cakes rather than trying to fit one batch of batter into it. It's important to clean it between cooking though. I didn't wash it because it was the same recipe and my second cake stuck to it. I washed it and the third cake popped right out, just like the first one.

It's OK, not the best. Just remember to butter and flour it before you put you cake batter in. Otherwise it will stick.
