do you have to spray or grease the pan?

I do... the spray is ONLY " Bakers Pam " ... EVERYTHING comes out perfectly !! Best tube pan I've ever owned...

It is a non-stick surface; however, the instructions suggest using Baker's Joy, which I always do. The cakes are beautiful and evenly cooked. I am considering purchasing another as a gift.

I've had this pan for several months and use a very light spray of Bakers Joy. Baked a dozen cakes during the holidays and everyone popped out perfect.

This item was a gift to someone and they never mentioned to me spraying or greasing the pan. But I would just a little to be safe. Otherwise the pan cooks cakes very well.

I do very lightly with the bakers helper. But the cakes come out perfectly. It's the best pan I've owned in the 50 years I've been baking.

no.. don't even need cooking spray... as a matter of fact I would recommend you don't us the spray or butter or any no stick agent.. the buns just fall out when you turn it up side down... and it cleans up really easy.. but if your looking for a pan that makes hamburger buns that look like what you buy in the store.. this won't do it.. these pans came with out instructions on how to cook with them.. where ever your batter or dough touches the pan will cook like a cake pan.. the sides will darken along with the bottom..

None so far. You could spray it with vegetable oil, or butter the pan, but it is a good non-stick pan.

Dear Hector, Thank you for your inquiry. It is recommended to lightly grease and dust with flour, as it will assist the product to release from the pan evenly. Thank you for allowing me to assist you with your inquiry. Kind Regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

It's non stick, so no cooking spray is required. Although before the first use they say to "season" both sides with butter, but you basically put it on and wipe it off. But after that there should be no butter/cooking spray/grease required.

the same thing happened to my pan and I just cover it with aluminum foil then spray that with cooking spray. turns out completely fine PLUS there's no cleaning that way. :)

I spray it with cooking oil before using. Anything still stuck I use a Brillo pad on. Overall not too hard to clean

No. I just lightly wash it with a sponge and a mild solution of Dawn dish washing detergent, rinse and dry. (Also, I try not to leave the empty pan on a very hot burner for any length of time. I don't think that is good for any pan -- especially a non-stick pan.)

I always lightly oil the skillet after each use. I actually put vegetable oil in a spray bottle and give it a squirt or two and then take a paper towel and wipe it on the inside of the pan. It builds up more of non-stick coating so your food doesn't stick. As for the seasoning the outside.... When I first got the skillet, I did oil the whole entire skillet (inside and outside) and then put it in the oven upside down in the oven to season it.... However, I don't oil the outside after every use.

I much prefer brushing on oil . I heat the pan in the oven then brush on oil when hot. I also pierce the popover when done to let the steam escape.

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.

I don't remember if ours had any grease on it but as a rule I just clean everything before I use it.

Most definitely! I have never had a problem with anything I made sticking to the pan. It just slides out and leaves nothing on the pan. I do use an olive oil spray to coat the pan.

Yes it's more of a problem. You're not supposed to use spray oil so I just use a more oil/butter when cooking, then soak the pan in warm soapy water before cleaning. Sometimes I just soak overnight and clean in the morning. Use a Teflon scrubby pad or brush to clean.

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 typically just run mildly warm water in the pan right after I finish cooking with it; depending on what I am cooking, I do spray a light amount of cooking spray on the pan (boneless/skinless chicken breasts or fish tend to stick if I don't spray, beef or pork tend to have more natural fats, so the pan doesn't really need spraying).

I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean. Before I grill something like steak or chops I will spray a little Pam on the surface of the pan. If food grade silicone is not your thing then an oil of your choice would be fine. When you are finished cooking pour a little water on the pan and let the pan cool. The food will loosen up and you can rinse it away with warm water without damaging the nonstick surface. Even modern cast iron needs a chance to build up a good seasoned coating. If you wash it with soap and hot water each time it doesn't have a chance to season. I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean.
