With the silicone coating, does greasing the pan work? I want to use cornmeal coating, and would need butter or oil to adhere cornmeal to pan sides.

Yes, it will work fine. I have used Pam or coconut oil then dusted with rice flour.

I have never used any kind of spray or grease with my pans when I bake yeast bread. The bread literally falls out of the pan! Wipe dry and store carefully with tissue or a pan protector between pans to prevent damage to the coating. I do not put my pans in the dishwasher either. Results may be different with quick breads.

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, I've used cornmeal to coat the pan when I've made bread. I sprayed the pan with Pam, shook in a handful of cornmeal, and had no problem with releasing my loaf of bread.

I have not had this problem with this muffin pan. I used it on a dark cookie sheet. I have had that problem in the past with an electric oven--too much heat from the bottom. Perhaps the temperature needs adjusting, and be sure to preheat the oven. I used jiffy corn muffin mix and it worked fine, haven't tried homemade yet. Let us know if you figure it out.

As long as you grease or oil the empty sections that should be fine. Trust me though, you will want more after eating just one. We use to have alot of cornbread left over when we made it in our normal iron skillet. This wedge pan makes it so much better.

Don't recall any recipes. If you spray it with the baker's nonstick spray, and do not overfill them, you should get excellent results. I've made little cornbreads, and cakelets - both from boxed mixes. They were delicious and delightful!

I had no problem if you follow their instructions. The key i think is first getting the protective coating completely removed. Love the pan!

Well, I have a teflon coated pan and I have to use oil or butter but with the Green Earth pan I don't have to. I feel It's better. But I'm going to keep an eye on it and report after like 6 months of use.

I've used this set of Chicago Metallic pans, all the way to 450 degrees baking, with no problem, do use the 500 setting on broil, to brown the tops of cornbread, or biscuits? I've had other Pans by this same Co., for at least 25ys., although they are a little heavier, than this set, still no problem, whatsoever? I Enjoy this great brand of pan! I usually do biscuits on 450 degrees all the time, and have used these several mo.'s now, and no discoloration, or warping! Hope this was helpful!

I used a metal one and worried about scratching the finish. I now use nothing but wood or silicone as I want to protect the beauty of this skillet.

The first proofing can be done in the mixing bowl. After that then I gently manipulate the baguette dough and released the gas, then I lightly knead the dough and shape into the bread shape. I place cornmeal on the dough board and place the dough on it to get some on the bottom of the loaf and then place it on the baguette pan. For me it is only there for the second rising prior to baking. I am sure this is not the only way that it can be done. I watched many YouTube videos before preparing any baguettes. Mine has turned out perfect every time. I never flour my pans.

I have never done that, I just use mine for making candy. But I don't see why not, there are alot of different silicone pans ;-)

Yes I have used it with out oil or butter, and it seems to work ok. I prefer to use some butter it seems to start popping sooner and more corn seems to pop for me.

There is no added coating. It's a flexible silicone mould with a very shiny smooth surface. The food material will not stick to it. Silicone inherrently has non stick properties and you will see it used in many other applications just because of this.

If there is a certain procedure,..it was never supplied with the pan. However,..I have decreased my opinion rating of the pan for one reason. It cannot handle high heat for very long before the coating starts degrading and losing it's non stick properties, followed by the coating flaking off. It took about 3 or 4 short period unattended burnings to cause this on one of these pans. To be fair, I've been very careful not to use higher than medium heat with the other smaller pan and it has been fine.

I have not tried using liners in pan, but as long as they fit, why not? It should work. Don't you just LOVE those silicone pans??? I do. Why oh why did I struggle so long??

I would just suggest from here on out, just use silicone spatulas to cook in it. I don't even use wooden stuff, just silicone. It's the gentlest on the surface. Always use just a little bit of oil, I usually cook with coconut oil or ghee. Sprays will damage the surface. And I always wait until the pan has cooled before washing. Sometimes I'll take a paper towel and just wipe it clean and leave it on the stove to cool. I also have a very gentle non-scratch dish sponge and as suggested, I use Dawn liquid soap. These were all on the packaging and it works pretty well for me. Hope that helps with the longevity of your pan!

I've found that if you wait until the cakes are about lukewarm to the touch, they come out without issue. I generally have rather moist recipes though, so it could be related to your recipe as well. I also buttered the silicone quickly before I put the batter in, to make extra sure I wouldn't have to deal with crumbly cakes.

I spray pan with Pam and it cleans up very well. I would not use foil or anything else. Soak with hot sudsy water for a short while and pan will clean up beautifully.
