My tart pan arrived with little sticky pads between the removable bottom and the frame. Am I supposed to take those off or leave them on??

Take them off because you don't want a leaky pan. Actually, mine didn't come packed this way.......but remove. Happy baking!

Mine did as well, remove them, they are just for packing purposes. The bottom of the pan is removable for serving/presentation purposes.

Generally - Put yeast around pan away from kneeding arm first, other dry ingredients next, then moist ingredients. there may be exceptions so follow your recipe instructions

I have the pan and I cook on an electric range. The only time I have something stick to the bottom is when it wasn't properly cleaned. The food sticks to food residue left in the pan after washing. If it is properly cleaned, this problem doesn't happen. Also, preheat before adding oil, butter, etc. Fred

I suggest you not overheat them or scrub them with very rough material. If you do not do the first you should not need to do the second. These are my favorites and no problems. I read the other reviews then went back to check all my pans. No smell and one slight stain which I cleaned. I'm a Happy Cooker.

I have not had any problems with these pans. You need to be sure they are 100% clean after each use (non-stick sprays leave a residue that is hard to get off) and you should be good to go! Love these little cakes, they do a nice job!

No I turned it over and when it released I loosened bottom with a plastic knife. It came off easily and the cake was beautiful. This is a wonderful cake pan.

I usually wash them with warm water and regular dish soap, I let them dry on the counter. Better if you use them with round parchment paper (you can cut it previously) so It doesn´t get sticky/oily when you cook.

I always cut out a piece of parchment paper slightly bigger than the removable bottom. It allows the paper to go up slightly around the inner edges of the pan and prevents leaking. When you remove the bottom piece, just peel off the parchment paper.

You need to clean the plate and the bottom of the unit after each use. If you don't you risk of a grease fire.

Just a hose with high pressure usually does it. Clean it off as soon as possible so it doesn't sit in the sun and bake on.

I just opened my package of these oven liners, and it specifically states in large print that these liners are NOT to go on the bottom of the oven, but on the lowest rack. This warning is written twice: 1) on the front packaging of the liners and 2) imprinted on the oven liners themselves. The warning doesn't state why this is important, but I do like to follow instructions - my Mom raised me right! =) - so that is what I will be doing.

I place a cookie sheet under it then clean with soap and water. Any loose charting a etc. I push to hole in the bottom where they fall onto the cookie sheet. I then wipe with a clean dry paper towel.

If you have something super sticky - ie a honey soy glaze for chicken wings, then I line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil - same as I would for my flat bottomed pans. Otherwise I have not had a problem cleaning or cooking. If something is baked on, I let it soak with some hot water before I clean it. I do like the pans - very heavy grade. I make alot of chicken wings and they clean up nicely - including the rack.

I am hoping you're using a crust first? There are a few well informed articles on the net aka southernliving.com regarding how to properly use a tart pan.

You must first thoroughly soak the strips in cold water. You then wrap them around the pan and fasten them with the little metal pins that come with them (just stick the metal pins through both layers of the strips). It is completely ok for the strips to overlap.

They are sticky! Other things had gotten "sticky" around here and I'd not gotten that far. One of my favorite ways to remove that kind of thing is spray on Pam or your equivalent. You might that a try or soak it in hot water for a while.

Sharon:There should be no need to use cooking spray on the pans. Use butter, perhaps. You should also check the website and try to find the exact pan you have. they have the most up-to-date information. If you can't find the answer yourself, I'd invest the time to give the customer service number a call. If you still have the wrappers around the pans, read this carefully. A lot of information is spelled out regarding use and proper care. I hope this helps. If not, please ask again.All the best!Helen
