Is this nonstick? In other words, is nonstick spray/oil necessary before putting in the batter?

It has a nonstick coating, but I ALWAYS spray before using muffin pans. I have had too many problems, regardless of coating.

It is supposedly a nonstick one. But I've had the cupcakes stick a little at the brim of the cavities. When I bought these same pans again, I used inexpensive cupcake liners that worked out fabulously well. The recent pans look like they will last me a very long time.

I use either a spray or the cupcake liners, just to be on the safe side. If you want to see more comments, this is exactly the same as the 24-cup pan, just half as many cups. Wilton Recipe Right 24 Cup Mini Muffin Pan

I always spray mine with a nonstick spray and a gentle sponge and dish soap has always worked for me. If not, perhaps soaking it in a warm sudsy water until the cake batter can easily be removed.

Not that I am aware of. Almost all new cast iron comes this way now. You still need to oil each batter well with about a 1/4 t. of oil. It's just a head start on the seasoning process for cast iron now. You don't have to spend a month seasoning and curing your pan now before use. You still need to treat it as cast iron though. NO SOAP, and a light oiling before putting away. I love this pan. I use it at least a couple of times a month. Have never had an issue with my Ableskivers sticking in this pan, from the very first use.

No, but it is nonstick. I just take a dish cloth and as soon as it's cooled enough, just wipe it out.

No, and that was a selling point for me. I don't want non-stick coatings, and have had no problems with food sticking when I use a spray oil or coconut oil.

It does not have an additional nonstick product on it. But I have cooked with it many times without adding any oil or butter to the pan before putting down the dough and had no problems with getting it to release.

No, it is not non stick. But since you heat oil in wok before cooking, things don't stick. I had a non stick wok before this one, and I like this one a whole lot more.

It appears to be non-stick; Once you follow the instructions and use a coating of oil..........I have been wondering since it arrived, after washing it several times, removal of some grit is not difficult......so...............it appears to be non stick.............with experience, after a while, sometimes the "so called" non stick coating is removed......don't know the name of the non stick coating. removed.....The name of the non stick material I don't known.

It is non-stick if you follow the directions included. Simply coat lightly with oil, then throw out the first batch of 2 cookies as they absorb the excess grease. After that, the cookies release easily.

No. It has no non-stick coating. If heated to temperature before adding oil, etc. and food items, it does not stick. Just have to learn how to cook with it. Even if something sticks, it does clean up easily.

It does not have a nonstick coating. You have to season it yourself, but very good instructions are included.

I've only used non-stick spray on mine. With no sticking issues at all. I make bagels/cake like items though, not donuts. Maybe the batter makes a difference?

Before I pour in batter, I spray it with Pam cooking spray. It cleans easily afterward.

To answer your question--unlike the others that give an opinion--you don't need to put oil on the pan. I simply hand flatten or roll out fresh dough and put it directly on the pan. It doesn't go through the holes. It doesn't stick. It comes out perfectly and with easy cleanup. I have used the pans dozens of times and they still look new.

It looks like the Pancake factory, which Amazon doesn't carry anymore. If it is the same, it has a non-stick surface that diminishes overtime. I've learned, from other non-stick products, that the aerosol cooking sprays actually diminishes the "non-stick" ability overtime. You can use animal fat (lard) without batter to restore "some" of it non-stick ability. Also when resuming use a good quality oil and wipe with a paper towel (same with sprays).

No, but I rub the bottom with a little oil, and it helps things not to stick.....I didn't want the coating that is used in non-stick for health reasons......cooking at a lower temp and stirring often also helps with the "sticking" problem.

Nope. No baking spray required. Just put what ever it is on the slipat, and place it in the oven.
