Sonja, the ignition point of standard paper is 451°F, and you'd never bake cupcakes or muffins at that high a temperature. Also, the muffin or cupcake batter itself provides some insulation to the papers. So there's really very little chance of a paper muffin cup catching fire in the oven. Hope this helps - PJH

In reply to Nice post, but I have a question about the papers themselves. … by Sonja (not verified)
