You should butter and flour the pan. I usually use a product called bakers joy. It is a spray like pam, except, it has flour in it. It makes things super easy!
You can use non stick in baking and I usually still butter and dust with flour. It shouldn't be a problem
If a recipe calls for greasing and flouring a pan you should - even if it's a non-stick pan.
My aunt made pumpkin pie with Rat Guts and liver and was probably a LOT better than the Carrot Cake. Don't Waste Your Time! STOP COOKING!!!
when baking a cake i grease and flour my non stick pans, it does make it easier to get out of the pan
No, it doesn't go for all recipes! I have Non-Stick pans as well, and I always use a spray on them. I had the same experience you did with a batch of cookies on non stick cookie sheets.....they stuck and broke all apart!!!! So, I say go ahead and grease and flour the pan!
i would still grease and flour if the recipie calls for it...
In baking I would follow the recipe despite what type pan you choose to bake with.
A really good thing to have on had is made by Wilton's and is call Bake Easy. It works perfectly.
Pam
If a recipe calls for greasing and flouring. What it is really requiring is the "flouring". The grease, oil or butter is just to get the flour to stick to the pan.
Since there is no way to get flour to stick by itself to a non-stick pan or any pan for that matter you will always have to go through that step.
I would grease and flour in spite of the non stick.
Another good way especially for very moist is lightly grease with oil, cut a piece of wax paper for bottom of pan and lightly grease again.
A good trick for the wax paper is set the pan on the wax paper- do a deep trace with a pen around the pan and it will either cut through or be enough so you can cut very easily with scissors.
For very moist cake you may have to cool longer before taking it out of the pan. With wax paper on the bottom you can cool as long as you want, just free up the sides and voila.
I never grease a cookie sheet - ever
Non stick does not necessarily mean baked good will not stick to the pan, especially cakes. It does mean that the clean up will be easier.
For cakes I always grease and flour my pans and for a carrot cake or other very moist cake I will cut a round of parchment paper or wax paper to fit the inside bottom of the pan. Grease the pan as usual, place the parchment round, grease the top of the paper and then flour and tap out the extra. The pour in your batter. When you go to remove the cake from the pan the paper will remain on the bottom of the cake and you just have to easily peal it off.
Be careful with your non stick surfaces, do not use metal utensils on them and they can last a long time. Better to hand wash then use the dishwasher.
i would totally grease and flour it. some of those products lie. trust me on this. but instead of using cooking oil or shortening, try using butter. that works for me! good luck! oh tips on a layered cake. always add big dollops of icing on top of the cake and spread it a slight angle. once agian good luck!!!
Always grease and flour or use the pam with flour on your pans when doing a cake. Because you don't mix in the flour it creates a fully non-stick surface on a dough that can get into every nook and cranny. When you do grease and flour your pan make sure to get every nook and cranny and smack your pan around until you have a very light dusting of flour on all the surfaces then dump out the excess into your sink or garbage.
I haven't tried parchment paper with a cake, but if you are doing a square or round cake that may be a good option if you don't want to flour and grease your pans. I use parchment paper all the time when I make brownies and they come out of the pan and away from the paper beautifully.
