I have a recipe that says to grease and lighly flour the pan. Is this necessary for this non- stick pan?

I still melt butter and flower out of habit. I have not tried it without yet.

If the batter has butter or oil, it is not necessary to grease this pan. However, I have had better results using a light spray and flour on some cakes.

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.

No I did not use grease and flour on the pan, my cake came out perfect! good luck, I hope your cake is as good as ours.

I do not know about the coating - it does not appear to have a coating when you look at it and I always grease/and or grease and flour my pans before adding the batter so I really am not bothered by whether or not it is non-stick as there has been no problem with that. I do wash all my cookware by hand instead of using the dishwasher - it makes them last longer and gets them cleaner.

I always grease the pan as I would any bread pan, except that it doesn't require as much grease because the bread releases beautifully every time. I haven't used cornmeal yet, but I would bet money that it would work just fine.

Yes,food will stick without oil or grease. However, this is why you can make the most delicious heavies and sauces in these pans; they develop the "fronds" of caramelized goodies at the bottom.If food does stick, a paste of baking soda will remove it, and polish the surface without scratching it.

Oh..forgot to mention.. Never pre heat this pan on high..As with all non stick...It will destroy them.. Read the directions and save the warranty card !

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.

A nonstick pan does not have to be seasoned. This is a very poor quality pan and can cause serious burns. I threw mine away.

Yes, you need to grease these pans. These pan are not non stick. I usually spray Pam.

I don't use anything additional and have had great success. I used to spray our old pan but found it is not necessary with these pans( and I don't think they recommend it). This is the best pan I have ever used.

I just put a little olive oil and sauce along the sides and bottom. When I use it to. Make meat loaves i do grease it. Just love this pan!

Here is what the packaging says about oil ... -- Nonstick sprays: Do not use ... an invisible buildup will impair the nonstick release system and food will stick in your pan. -- Oil: Oil is not needed ... but if you prefer oil for flavor, olive oil or peanut oil is recommended. Heavy vegetable oils my leave a residue that can affect nonstick performance. Use a low heat when heating up oils. Now that bit about olive oil vs. heavy vegetable oils makes no sense to me as olive oils can be among the heaviest oils. There are many variations of olive oil. I have used a very light application of light oils with no apparent ill effects, but perhaps I haven't been doing so long enough for it to see the ultimate results. I heat the oil first then wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. This leaves some visible oil in the pan. I really don't think the oil is necessary, though. I think the important thing is to have the pan at temperature before putting anything in it so have stopped using oil. I think the only thing the use of oil did for me was to make sure the pan was at temperature! I have ONLY used it for eggs so use a low heat.

No grease. Just flip the pan over and tap it out. The hard part is trying not to burn yourself and getting the handle out of the way.

I do as Jane L. Brown does. I use parchment on both my nonstick skillet and my electric griddle. Works well and makes for easier cleaning up.

No this pan is not what it claims . You still have to use some oil. You have to use nonstick utensils and when it starts to stick you need to season it again. The more you use it the better it gets. But it does not cook with out the oil. Also if you use anything harsh to clean it it will ruin it.

Yes. I've read that all non stick pans need to be pre seasoned so I did with all of my orgeenics. Spray with non stick spray and wipe the excess with a paper towel. Don't wipe it all off. Then put it on the burner and turn the burner on medium. Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. Watch it as different stoves have different "mediums". Great pan.

No grease. Just turn the pan over and gently squeeze the bottom and the food falls right out. Wonderful stuff to use and clean.

No, just use it as it comes. The finish is very durable and stays non-stick. We have used ours for several years and still love it. Just be sure that the size will fit your oven. The rectangular one is a bit large, but we manage with it.
