What is the best spray or non-spray to use on these pans before baking? Mine are new and I don't want to ruin them.

I use regular cooking spray from the grocery store. Any spray will cause some discoloration.

I use Bakers Joy because it has flower and oil in it so good for items like cake or cup cakes other wise I use Pam

I bought the pan to make small frittatas and used no spray at all. Barely any egg stuck to the cups. The pan rinsed clean with no scrubbing.

I have sprayed the pan with non-stick spray before putting in the dough. If needed, after the cake has cooled, you can nudge some corners loose with the handle end of a fork or spoon until it's all loose.

Im new to stainless steel cooking, with that said... is it okay to use items like Pam spray on these pots and pans? Everyone seems to talk about butter or oil. Just wondering...

I use a thing called BAK-Klene ZT and I get it at GFS and am sure you can find it elsewhere. I use it with all my cake pans. It is awesome because none of my 3d cakes or the ones i do in this pan stick and it does not leave any residue like regular cooking spray. This is an amazon link for what i use unfortunately this is a 6 pack case Bak Klene ZT All Purpose Release Aerosol Spray, 14 Ounce -- 6 per case.

What were you cooking? I have never had anything stick to mine, I can literally burn a piece of cheese to my frying pan and it will slide rite off.... I do use olive oil in a Misto oil sprayer Misto Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer with olive oil in it...These pans do not need high heat, I have noticed low is like medium in other pans and a little under medium is like high, they are very conductive, try lowering your heat and don't put food on a cold 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.

They do not need to be seasoned to remain nonstick. Wash them before use and I use a non scratch sponge and dawn soap. And for safety keep your toes out of the way it hurts dropping one of these pans on your toes lol

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

I have found it best to grease and flour, even with non stick or silicone pans. I used the non stick spray containing flour.

oK as bad as it sounds never use soap on your baking pans.I was trained by some great bakers and you wipe them down as much as you can while hot.A good baker has brown pans :) .If you can not live with brown pan's use parchment paper.I have broken down and used a sos pads and (scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner) Good stuff .Do not use bleach / bleach water on metal it causes rust.Never soak or submerge under water (air bake pans ) ever ,water gets inside and moisture will ruin the outcome of everything you bake..Best of luck Baking blessings :)

I always use a cooking spray before using the pans. But I would do this with any pan, just a habit. There is some sticking, but if you scrap the bottom while cooking makes for a good gravy. Or if you do not desire to scrap the pan like for example in the case of cooking eggs, simply put water in the pan after you finish cooking and let it sit for a few minutes, they clean right up.

Do not use steel wool. Soak the pan in detergent and use a plastic equivalent to the steel wool. Otherwise, you will destroy the non-stick coating.

Definitely don't use nonstick spray! I just use parchment paper between the stone and whatever I'm baking. If you want to try and season it just use a LOT of cornmeal.

I used straight dish washing detergent and a non scratch scouring pad! I have also heard rubbing alcohol will work although I have not tried it. Good luck! I love love these pans!

DO NOT use pam or any other type of cooking spray, not ever on this pan. These are bad for non-stick pans. If you don't believe me, call Circulon directly. They will tell you this. This is what they told me, but I had already known this. If you have to, use a little oil...but not Pam.

I have had this happens with pans before that have a coating. I think it gets old after a while, and micro cracks form. I know generously prep all pans with butter and/or flour or use parchment paper.
