What do you use to oil your pans? I'm really not liking the tast of Pam on my food.

:ack2: It tastes awful, even after wiping it out of the pan with a paper towel. Do any of you use non-hydrog. shortening? Does it make the goodies burn?

 

I've gotta find something soon.

I use veggie oil or butter. Every once in a great while I'll use cooking spray - but I use the kind that doesn't have silicone in it. I think it is Wesson.

 

You can try vegetable oil in a spray bottle instead of cooking spray.

I've seen this on cooking shows. I've also heard that you should put cold oil in a hot pan to help with sticking problems.

 

Oh, and Pam shouldn't be used on non-stick pans because it builds up. I know, I know, who would use spray on a non-stick pan? (me--)

You mean for cooking? Olive oil or veggie oil

[KatieJ]

Long before there was Pam, there was Crisco and butter. Both work great.

 

Take a blob and wipe it on your pans. I used to save the butter wrapper to grease my cookie sheets with.

A small piece of wax paper or paper towel works great too if you don't want the grease on your hands.

For baking (like muffins), I like to use butter--the butter wrappers are great for this--just rub the wrapper on the pan after you use the stick of butter.

Olive oil or butter

[CactusPair]

If you're trying to cut fat & calories use a mister bottle of olive oil (or canola oil, depending on what you're cooking). If calories aren't an issue, just pour in an ample amt. of olive oil (or canola).

My mother used to keep a can of Crisco with a sandwich baggie inside it. You slide your hand into the bag, pull it out and wipe on the pan. I'm not a big fan of Crisco, so we use canola oil or some butter wiped on with a piece of paper towel. Works fine--I just finished making a big batch of gingersnaps using butter to grease the pans.

For banana bread pans and stuff? Nothing ever sticks when I've put a light coat of shortening on the pans. :)

I use veg. oil in a spray bottle.....very economical and tastes much better!
