Ok - I know this has probably been covered before, but didn't find any recent threads...What does everyone use to prep your cake pans? Cake release? butter & flour? Pam/Baker's Joy spray with flour? Anyone find any major differences in taste among the various methods?

Just curious what all you pros out there use!

TIA!

i may be in the minority here, but i've never greased with anything other than butter, and my cakes rose well.

lately i've converted to lining my pans with only parchment (bottom & sides) as i find it easier to clean my pans, rather than without parchment. just parchment, no grease.

and still getting the same results with my cakes.

i'm always trying to find ways to minimize my work but still getting the results i want LOL

1/2 cup of all purpose flour, 1/2 of oil, 1/2 crisco. Mix everything together and grease with this paste in thin layer your pan. It will never ever get stuck. I guarantee you icon_smile.gif I got it from somebody here and its really the best thing ever.

I make my own pan grease with 1 cup shortening, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup flour blended together. I use it and then I don't have to grease and flour - just grease!

I use wiltons cake release, it leaves lest of a crust and and less of a dome, i also use the cake strips, those are great, they also help leave less of a crust, and makes the cakes taller too.

How do you store it? Just in an airtight container?

Yes, I make mine up and store it in a washed out shortening container. I label it "Pan Grease". But any airtight container would do!

I just line the bottom of the pan with just parchment paper. I find that my cakes rise higher because it clings to the sides of the pan.

Homemade cake release. Cheap and easy to do and you can make as large or as small of a batch as you want!

I use equal parts of shortening, veg oil and flour as well.
