I have a friend that used pam once a very long time ago. As it turns out,
her son had a reaction to it and so she doesn't use it any more.

Metal Bakeware!
I have a friend who claims Pam spray has ruined and badly stained all of
her metal bakeware; she claims it also has that greasy feeling to it and
that dishwashing liquid does not remove it; she does not have a dishwasher,
per se.

I recently borrowed my mom's silicon muffin pan. I don't own any but
needed
to make more cupcakes than I had a pan for. Her pan was sticky to the
touch
and it could not be washed off no matter how much it was scrubbed. She
said
she sprayed it with Pam and I wonder if that might be what caused this.
Has
anyone else had this happen?
Otherwise I thought the pan was great for cupcakes.

Sandy,
I have used a silicon cake pan and a loaf pan from Tupperware. I have
always sprayed them or greased them and I have had no complaints with the
results of using either.

Subject: Re: [CnD] Greasing Silicone Pans?
Hi Sandy,
There are mixed opinions about whether or not to grease silicone
pans. Some folks say that if they're not greased, the texture of the
smoother baked items, like cookies and that sort of thing, have a
slightly rougher feel than they do from metal pans. Some of those
folks claim that if you grease or spray the silicone before using it,
that texture isn't as bad.
I personally haven't noticed anything unusual with anything I've
cooked or baked in silicone. I never grease or spray any of my
silicone bake ware and nothing ever sticks to any of it. I know some
friends who use either butter or spray the pans before using them. I
don't notice any real difference between their cookies and mine.
The only thought I have would be to try with and without your usual
grease method and see which you prefer. Either way, it won't do any
harm to the silicone. I find that silicone bake ware will survive a
lot worse conditions and more errors than any of my old metal pans used
to.
The only caveat with silicone is to never use a sharp implement, such
as a knife or fork etc, that might puncture the pan. If you avoid
that, they'll stand up to almost anything and nothing will ever stick
to them, whatever methods you use.
That's been my personal experience anyway.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: [CnD] Cleaning Those Silicone Pans
Hi Sandy,
I've heard a few folks mention a cleaning problem with silicone
bakeware. It's true that the silicone can build up a bit of a
static electricity charge, which could attract dust more than metal
pans. Since I can't see dust, or anything else for that matter, I
generally just rinse any silicone bakeware under hot water after
taking it out and before starting to use it. That should rinse off
any gathered dust and will dry quickly. So far, I've never had
anyone complain of any dirt in their muffins or cookies.
Cleaning the pans after you're finished a project couldn't be
easier. Because the silicone pans are quite soft and plyable, all
you have to do is wash them in a sink using standard dish soap,
then drop them into your dish drainer to air dry. Since nothing
sticks to them, washing is quick and easy. If you have a dish
washer, they're quite safe in that as well.
I've been using silicone bakeware for anything and everything,
whenever possible. I've never had any complaints or problems with it at
all.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Oh, your explanation sounded easy enough; now, people say that
those baking pans and cups of silicone are very difficult to keep
clean! Is this true or what maintenance do they require?

Hi Sandy,
I just follow any baking instructions in a cookie recipe as
though I was baking the cookies on a sheet or flat pan.
In your examples, when I place the cookie mixture in the muffin
cup, I would still use the flat bottomed glass with the sugar
coating, pressing that glass down into the bottom of the muffin
pan, flattening the cookie dough as the recipe
instructs. Remember that since I'm using the silicone muffin
pan, the cup itself will stretch enough to allow a small glass to
compress the dough into the bottom of the cup.
If I'm using a fork, I still don't have a problem because I use
the 6 cup silicone muffin pan. I just go around the pan and
press the fork down into the bottom of each cup as
necessary. Since I'm following around the edge of the pan, my
fork will press the edge of the pan down enough to allow that
fork to compress the dough as required. I don't know how someone
would do that to the cookies in the middle of a 12 cup pan since
I only use the 6 cup ones myself.
I hope this makes sense. I've never had any problems with it.
Hope this helps.

I think this sounds almost too good to be true! What happens
like if you are doing cheese Wafers, or shortbreads where they
tell you to press them flat with either a fork dipped in flour
or a flat-bottomed juice glass dipped in granulated sugar?

Hello Claudia,
I've been baking cookies in muffin pans for several years and
wouldn't do them any other way.
What made me first attempt this was once I got some silicone
muffin pans. These make the job so quick and easy that I don't
know why more folks don't use this method.
So, as long as you're using the silicone pans, there's no need
to grease them in any way. Nothing I use ever seems to stick to the
silicone.
Just follow whatever cookie recipe you would for a baking sheet
or pan or whatever. Instead of using a greased pan or sheet,
just drop the appropriate amount of your cookie mixture into
the muffin cup then bake for the suggested time in the usual way.
Once the baking is done, remove the pans from the oven, allow
them to cool, then turn the pans over and press the centers of
each cup to push out your baked cookies.
That's all I do. I regularly receive comments on how a blind
person can make such perfectly round cookies.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
For those of you who make your cookies in muffin pans, do you
grease the muffin cups, and how much do you fill them with the
batter?
Any other tips I need to know?
Thanks.
