Is it okay to prepare the pan for baking by using a small amount of shortening then flouring the pan?

Shortening and flour is recommended for all baking pans instead of non-stick sprays, with two exceptions:1. the pan is stainless steel, and2. if the baking spray doesn't have lecithin in it. Most non-stick finishes today get very sticky if lecithin sprays are used, and the finish will be ruined if you try to get the stickiness off with abrasives, even plastic scrubbers. Then it won't be non-stick anymore. Just a tip--angel food cakes rise higher if you keep the sides bare. One-piece pans can sit and soak in warm, soapy water, making clean up a breeze. Just saying....

You sure can, my boys favorite cake is an old receipe from my Mothers family so that pan has made tons of coffee cakes in it. Each one gets sprayed with shortening and a little flour. They come out great

I would assume that is okay since I use Baker's Joy spray in all my bake ware which is a spray that contains flour. By the way, this pan is great! Use it all the time and cakes are wonderful. Evenly cooked and nicely browned, even with use of my spray. Don't think you will be disappointed at all!

Absolutely. I have had this pan for years. It is the best. Makes great cakes. Perfect for cakes that are high. I use Bakers Joy instead of shortening and flour. It is the same thing and you just spray it on. You can find it where they stock PAM.

I have used mine for a year--exclusively for baking bread. I put flour in the pan--no oil--shake it around. Then I put the dough in the pan, let it rise, and bake. It comes out easily. I have washed by hand or in the dishwasher and no residue.

I did season this pan with a little cooking oil before first time use. Although it is not specified in the instruction, it is always a good idea to do that first time.

I used a regular cake mix. no problem. baking time will take some adjustment.

Yes, but I usually have to do a little pre-wash with most of my baking pans. It's probably not the pan...

I would say a bit more than a tablespoon (= 0.5-0.75 oz). You don't want to overfill it so the baked goods don't spread over, thus, 0.5 oz should be enough.

You can, but first spray the interior with a cooking spray. They get VERY HOT when baking, so use care when handling. They will also get a bit darker but that will not effect their performance. All that said, there are better tools for baking a round shape like this, like a ramekin, for example.

Yes, hand wash, and do not add spray pam or other oils/butter to the pan before baking - it will mar the non-stick coatin

Nope. I just use cooking spray (like Pam) every time before I put the batter in. Also, just a helpful hint - a 1-1/2 tbsp measure is the perfect amount for the mini-cupcakes.

Brenda, I love this pan. I use shortening or baking spray to grease and flour each piece I. Use on each side, also grease entire pan and flour it. Then arrange the letter or number you're making in the pan and pour cake batter in. Note: be sure and arrange shapes so that when you flip it over it will be the shape you want. let pan cool for 15 or 20 minutes before removing cubes to prevent sticking.

I usually do spray the pan with bakers joy but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. I think you could skip that step if you wanted.

I always grease/flour my pan or use Baker's Joy spray. I used a different baking spray once and had awful results. So, I wouldn't risk not using anything.

Initially, yes, you can. However over time (beyond 6 mo maybe?) you will need just a little oil, such as putting a little on a paper towel and wiping bottom of pan with it. I love these pans though!

As long as it fits in the oven, AND has some space around the pan, I have baked it. Unfortunately, have to keep resetting it after the first 30 min are up.

Yes you can but agree with other review that the end result will be thinner than with an 8 x 8. Keep an eye on the bake time as you don't want to overcook. I have doubled a brownie box in this pan and only needed to cook 5 min more than directions stated.

The answer is yes, you can. But before you do, run your hand very carefully on the bottom of the pan to see if it is completely smooth. If you feel a bit of roughness (there shouldn't be much if any), gently rub fine steel wool over the entire bottom until it feels smooth. Then wash with soap and water, dry, and smear a thin layer of cooking oil on a paper towel, wiping off any excess. Hope this helps!

I have several orgreenic pans. The instruction I have received with the products were to season them with some oil and heat in the oven. I am not sure you have to do this but it has worked great for me. I use them every day and love them; especially the clean up.
