Can you use silicone baking items by themselves in the oven or do you have to put them inside of another pan?

Answer 1

Because of the "non-structure" of the ware a cookie sheet or a pan can be used to "support" it.

Answer 2

I have a silicone bundt cake pan and I find I have to stand it on top of a baking sheet because it will not sit on the oven racks without wanting to tip.

Frankly, I do not like silicone baking things.

Its always good to have a spill pan under just in case of drips and the silicone pans are flimsy and will be easier to lift out of the oven

They can be used alone, but due to their flexible nature, I would suggest you put them on top of a baking sheet. That's just to prevent any spills.
