muffin tin liners

Does anybody in the world make liners for muffin "tins" that are not fluted, pleated, ridged. I don't care if they are reusable or disposable as long as they don't have those little grooves down the side.

I have a 6 muffin silicone that I love. I'm just trying to salvage these older 10 - 12 cup tins for those rare occasions when I need more than 6 muffins. They are unusable now, as they leave an odd taste on the outside of the food.

Thanks for your help. I don't bake much, but I think cornbread would look pretty silly with those little ridges!

I have seen muffin liners that i think are actually paper muffin cups, not intended to be put in a pan. because the edge is folded over tightly and the pleats are there but are flattened, so they don;t leave ridges in the cakes. These are european or italian anyway. Muffins never existed here, but now that they seem to begin to have them, they bake them without pans, in these smoother type muffin cups. Don't know where you'd find them where you are.
The other thing is, i often use them for corn muffins, and really, you don't get cutesy little ridges, because the corn batter is rougher than, say, a cupcake, so it's hardly noticeable. However i do notice that they don;t peel off easily.

Julia,
As Siduri states, there are a higher end cups with the pleats folded. Probably not woth the money. You can flaten out the pleated ones for less stick. Probably best to toss the old pans since noone needs those metals in their system.

Muffin tin liners

Thanks to you both. I'll try the regular paper kind with the cornbread batter to see if the ridges are noticeable. I don't want to throw the tins away because the cups are bigger than the silicone ones and the 12-cup one was fairly expensive. I will experiment with this and get back with you as to the results. I'll try the foil ones also. They may be easier to work with in flattening out the pleats.
