Gnocchi?
[Edit: Ooops, I missed the fact that it had been cured].
Silpad?
Over the last couple of years, silicone pads have become popular for baking and resting hot pans on. Now you can get silicone cupcake and muffin "pans".
Lardo (salami)?
(I had to research that one).
One of those collapsible colanders?
