I have a new mufffin pan with nonstick coating. Should I use nonstick spray before baking?

Question

There are no instructions with the pan so I don't know if I should use a nonstick spray or just pour in the batter. I don't know if I can trust that the pan is really non-stick The brand is Oneida.

Answer 1

I would "season" the pan even though its non-stick. You can do this by rubbing Crisco in it for the first baking. After that you should be ok. My experience, though, is that even those advertised as non-stick do stick sometimes, so I always spray anyway!

Answer 2

if it says nonstick it must be non stick . also if you wish to clean your pan before washing it and get rid of that bad smell it gives of , here´s a tip put the pan on the heat and add salt to the pan. leave it like this for 5 to 10 min´s less if you like . don´t worry the pan won´t burn nor will the salt burn then take of the heat wipe with a kitchen towel then use you will then notice there is no smell. Happy cooking, PS if it´s nonstick remember only use plastic or wooden cooking utensils

Answer 3

Oneida isn't really the best brand. Using a LITTLE non-stick spray will not hurt.

Answer 4

well if your not sure you can trust the pan than use the nonstick spray. It will not hurt the pan!

Answer 5

you really should put non stick spray on your pan because I used a pan just like yours and my muffins were in peices when I took them out.

Answer 6

Thats what they say but if you let it burn too much then it sticks so if i were you i would just put some on so it wont stick anyways.

Answer 7

I shouldn't think you would have to if it is a really good one. Just be careful when you wash it. Don't scratch it or you will have to use a little butter or oil lol

Answer 8

you can never be too careful...use some spray too

Answer 9

It wont hurt to do so.

Answer 10

I would.
