How to remove brownies cleanly from silicone molds?
I've recently started looking into making brownies inside silicone molds (in particular, this guy) and I've noticed that it doesn't seem to matter whether I grease, grease & flour, use pam, use parchment paper (with and without grease) or do nothing: the brownies are never guaranteed to come out cleanly. Each method yields some brownies that cleanly separate, with others that lose varying degrees of their bottoms to the pan.
Note: with parchment paper, the problem of a clean release just gets kicked down the road to the stage when I peel the paper off the brownie. Most of the time, the paper pulls a non-trivial amount of crumb off with it.
What's the best way to insure a perfect removal of the brownies from silicon bakeware?
Best Answer
Freeze the brownies in the mold. They'll release cleanly.

How do you remove brownies from a silicone pan?
Let the brownies cool entirely before trying to remove them. If you did not use a liner, then work a rubber spatula gently around the edges of your brownies. Then, simply flip the brownies upside-down onto a plate. If this doesn't work, then warm the bottom of the pan for a few minutes on a low-heat stovetop.How do you remove baked goods from silicone molds?

I used two 4-cavity heart-shaped silicone molds. If you use a silicone mold, put them on a baking sheet and then in the oven. Don't put them directly on the oven rack. Baking in the heart-shaped pans took 25 minutes.Baking with Silicone Molds

I'd try parchment paper. Seems to usually be a good idea even when oil and flour fail. You'll have to cut it to size, but at least the sheets are big enough that it shouldn't be too much hassle.
You can cut it larger than the pan in one direction so that it'll be sticking up on two sides, which gives you something to grab to lift out and to peel off the brownies. For the pan you linked, divided into a grid, you could cut it to size in one direction, lay it across a row, maybe put a few creases to encourage it to go down into the sections, then quickly snip it into individual pieces.

A reach but take cup cake paper and cut it in an rectangle and put it in the bottom. Now it may also stick to the paper but you could cut with a knife.
