yikes! I'm all set up to bake and no pan grease! I remember seeing a recipe for it. Can someone please post it for me? Thanks.

Sure!

You just take equal parts of cooking oil, flour, and Crisco, and mix them all together and brush on your pans.

I love it! I usually mix up a larger batch when I do it and keep it on hand for a while. I normally use 1 cup Crisco, 1 cup oil, and 1 cup flour.

Once you try it, you won't ever buy it again.

Okay, my cake is in the oven and I already love the pan grease. So smooth in consistency. How long of a shelf life or do I refrigerate it?

Shelf life is a really long time. It is only oil and crisco so don't refridgerate or it will become hard. Make sure it is sealed in a container though.

I really appreciate that simple recipe being posted here. I made a batch and refilled my Wilton cake release bottle with it and won't have to buy it again. I like it better than the original. Seems to make my sides more golden and not crumbly. Easier to work with.

I have done both.
If you mix it by hand then I would sugest that you use a wisk or something to incorporate the Crisco into the rest of the mixture. It might be slightly lumpy, but that's okay.

You can use a mixer too if you want to!

I did not use my mixer. Worked fine. Just removed my 11 x 15 from the oven. After 10 minutes ,I removed it from the pan ( popped right out )and it's now cooling. Will never buy pan grease again. Thanks again for posting the recipe! icon_cool.gif

After switching from Baker's Joy and Parchment I just use Crisco and waxed paper. This seems to work just fine. Is there a noticable difference between the pan grease and Crisco and waxed paper?

You can melt your crisco in the microwave which makes it easier to mix with the oil and flour.

Now I'd like to know if you use parchment or not with the pan grease recipe. As I've stated before I'm a newbie with LOTS of questions!

I used it for the first time tonight and I love it! I'll never use anything else. I didn't use parchment I just brushed it on the pan.

Does anyone know why some recipes call for using parchment?? If a recipe calls for parchment I use both. I've had my pan grease for about 9 months....I have to stir it before I use it because the oil separates. I'm thinking about dumping what I have left because it's looking a little gritty. Although it still works like a charm.

I have found refridgerating mine when it gets warm (or the heat is turned up a little high int he winter) that it doesn't seperate and i don't have to wrory about restiring it. Just bring it out about 10 mins before i want to use it so it gets on my pastry brush easier.

I have mine in a squirt bottle in the cupboard and can just shake it up then squeeze it into the pan.
