Please how do i make home made cake release,i'm tired of buttering and flouring my pans.I know i'm meant to use vegetable oil, shortening and flour but what are the measurements and do i need to heat the shortening to get it to mix properly. Thanks a lot in advance.

It is a one to one to one ratio of crisco, vegetable oil and flour. I mix the crisco and oil together until smooth and then add the flour to it and beat until no lumps. I put it into a plastic container and refrigerate it. I love it. My cakes come out of the pans so easily.

Do you still need to use parchment paper with this cake release?

I just keep it on the counter. And yes i still use waxed paper on the bottom. Parchment is way too expensive for me.

I just use the cake release and nothing else. Haven't had a cake stick yet.

After I discovered wilton cake release, I have not greased and floured a pan in years. not sure how to make it but you can get it at any craft store or walmart for about $3.50

so, this homemades stuff. How do you get it into the pans, usually. Spread it with your fingers? Put it in some kind of bottle or sprayer?

oh, I use a "food release" spray from my restaurant supply store..........works great...

At my local grocery store and even wal-mart, I buy a spray that has flour in it. You find it where you find the pam stuff; like the vegetable spray. I pay about $1.25 and it lasts . I love it... never have bought cake release, but I assume its the same thing, just cheaper.

thank you all so much

I used a cake release for the first time this past weekend and was amazed at how easily my cakes came out of the pan. They just slid out with no hesitation. I would of never known about it if it wasn't for this site. I followed this simple recipe from this site:
