I use Pam spray and it ofcourse got on the flat part--where the batter doesn't go-- and I noticed the other day when I went to use them, it was pretty gummy. If you touch it, it gets on your fingers and is hard to get off. I thought I had cleaned them well last time--put them in the dishwasher. These are the star cupcake Wilton *pan*.

Anyone? The cupcake part is fine.

Putting them in the dishwasher won't touch that gummy grease.

You can go to a restaurant supply store and buy products that are specifically designed for removing that stuff.

I put my bakeware in a huge stockpot with boiling water and a bunch of Dawn dishsoap, and boil the crap out of it. It works, but the source of the problem remains: spray Pam.

There is a product called Vegalene that does not make that gummy buildup. I haven't looked for any in my area, but I know it's available.

It is the propellant in the Pam and other aerosol sprays that leave a residue. I bought a pump sprayer and have stopped using Pam and its relatives.

When I worked at Sur La Table, we where told to suggest to the customers not to use Pam, on silicon and non stick bake wear. There are little tiny holes that make the items non stick. The stuff in Pam fills the holes and at some point the bake wear will not be non stick any more. I will only use it on glass and stainless.

I just use pure ol' elbow grease with hot water and a scrubby loaded with dawn.

This happens on my glass pans as well as my cookie sheets when DH cooks icon_smile.gif
