Since I'm out of the store bought, which I love, I found the recipe listed to make your own. It states not to allow to cool. Do you have to heat it up every time you use it? Does the recipe keep for many uses, or is it a one time deal?

I'm not sure which recipe you are using. The one that I have is equal parts flour, oil, and crisco. I have never heated it up. It keeps for a very long time in a covered container. As far as don't let it cool down I believe it means not to let your cake cool to much, as it may stick.

Thank you. What do you store it in. Does it sqeeze out like cake release?
Gotch on the cool thing. I'm sure that's what it meant, it flew right over my head

I store mine in a plastic bowl. You could use a jar as well. If you wanted to put it in a squeeze bottle you could do that as well.

I just keep it in the bowl then use a pastry brush to brush it on the pans.

I store mine in a plastic container w/a tight-fitting lid. It keep for a long time & works lk a charm. I love my Wilton instructor for sharing that secret w/us!
P.S. I'm sure it works out being much cheap than store-bought too !

I found a squeeze bottle with a cap and it keeps great
