Question

Is it necessary to immerse a silicone mold intended for making a shape from melted chocolate? This is for first-time use.

Answer

Hello 

Only metal and glass utensils require immersion. [Metal - by Torah law. Glass - by rabbinic decree].

However, plastic, silicone, and other materials do not require immersion.
