Why do my doughnuts stick even though I greased the pan? I can't use it this way; had to throw out the doughnuts because they wouldn't come out whole

Shirley, sorry to hear about your donuts not coming out of your pans. I haven't used the pans yet, but sounds like the the nonstick surface isn't working.

I had a sticking problem with one batch of donuts out of 3, with each being a different recipe. Some recipes are more self-lubricating than others. I tried to coat with vege oil but found that it just beaded up on the non-stick surface. PAM sounds like a good solution.

I followed the recipe that came with the pan - also sprayed pan with non- stick spray with no problems also need to let them cool a bit

You might consider trying the baking spray which has flour with it. I think I did put a VERY LIGHT spray but only a quick spray. I gently use a fork to slide under each donut and pull it loose. When I flip it over to a rack they fall out quickly. Good luck. Don't give up. I try a new recipe each time. The process of making your own donuts is fun so be sure to enjoy yourself. Again, good luck.

I also received mine and I had the same problem, unable to remove the pan. I need to wash it before I start use it.

I had the same poor experience. Kept trying different things for months. Different heat, different oils, adding oil after the pan heated, etc. etc. After rubbing the skin off my finger for the 4th time trying to clean the stuck-on stuff off (even AFTER soaking all night) I figured it just wasn't worth it.

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?

The instructions said to season with vegetable oil before the first baking. I used Pam and it came out fine. Subsequent times I used nothing and they popped right out. But the oil content in the food might make a difference too.

Nothing sticks to mine. Did you season it with the oil in the oven first? It may need done again. I think periodically you must season it.

It happened to me once because bread dough somehow got caught between the blade and the pan. I let the pan soak for a while in warm, soapy water until the dough softened up and then was able to lift it up and clean both parts.

Try to use a baked doughnut recipe. I have never had a problem and I cook GF.

my only advice is to spray the pans mine stuck after the first use now they are ok with sprayhope this helps maybe you can ans something for me I use a cookie scoop to fill the fan but you can only get it on one side of the pan so I have to use my finger to spread it around have any ideas on that on

Did you season it first with some spray Pam etc.. a high heat oil like canolla. it fills in the irregularities in the surface. Also since you have used it already try using Pam first for a while. When cooking do not put your heat as high as you did for your old pans For Cleaning: wipe out with a paper towel when still warm not hot with warm soapy water. Do not immerse in cold water when hot

i haven't had the problem..And I hope I don't!..perhaps try to soak in warm or hot water to loosen possibly stuck flour or dough..let me know what works! HAPPY BAKING!! And I agree with other suggestion of spraying "PAM"on blades prior to baking

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.

Sounds like too much dough or batter was placed into the pan. I have only ever filled it between half and 3/4 to the top and have never had those problems. You could increase baking time, the cover will keep it from drying out. When I take mine out of the oven, I just let it sit in the pan with the cover on for 5 to 10 minutes as the center will continue to cook.

Sorry I can't help you. I've only used mine a couple of times and have had no problem cleaning it. Did you grease and/or flour the pan first?

yes I have the same problem. What I did was that i held the center tube while i tightened the head so it got really tight, and then it could pan without getting loose. However I think I am doing something incorrectly because I can't control the pan(how smooth it is). Another solution I figured only works when the center tube is in its lowest position and what I do is that I loosen the center tube(the thing that makes it stay in place vertically) so I can kinds control the pan but limited to the head staying on the lowest postion.

Thanks for asking this. After 20 minutes of aggravation I'm ready to return this stupid pan. Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who had trouble with this.

I had the same problem and eventually threw the pan out after several attempts at crepes. It's junk. But if you decide to keep it, brillo pads got a lot of the food that stuck off.
