I cook a lot with nonstick fat-free spray like PAM for sauteing instead of oil. As long as the heat is low, will sprays like PAM work okay on these?

I'm not sure if that would work or if it would make it stick more. Pam isn't the healthiest. I stick with olive oil.

I use a canola oil spray on the skillet and it cleans well, no problem... by the way I love these pans

I use olive or vegetable oil, not PAM. But I see no reason why PAM wouldn't work. If PAM works on high heat - these pans will easily & evenly take that high heat (e.g. for searing). I love this cookware & it cleans up in the dishwasher very well too.

I always spray them with Pam before using them and they're fine. The only trouble I ever have is if I forget or I use the frying pan for an omelette--eggs always seem to stick no matter what. Otherwise, we really like the set.

Yes! These are great! I do lightly spray with non-stick olive oil, but do not belueve you have to. I have baked banana bread in mine a number of times in these wirhout sticking.

It's non stick, so no cooking spray is required. Although before the first use they say to "season" both sides with butter, but you basically put it on and wipe it off. But after that there should be no butter/cooking spray/grease required.

yes - will not harm the pan at all. the whole point is to build up lacquering, which is what heat does to oil as it breaks down.spray away!!!

Oil is the best, small amounts but only add it after the pan gets warm. If you use Pam it will get sticky and leaves a coating that is hard if almost impossible to remove. Just follow the manufacturers instructions.

As has already been mention, use PAM Grill Spray or regular PAM--it will flare so stand back when you spray it. You can also use a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil or a silicone brush dipped in vegetable oil. Don't stall around with either of these latter two; however, the silicone brush is far more heat tolerant than a paper towel.

I only use smart balance omega nonstick cooking spray in my pan to make cakes, brownies, and stuffing (dressing). Always follow manufacturers recommendations for keeping your pan in the best cooking condition and your food at its best.

I generally spray the bottom of the pan with Original Pam. Have not had a sticking problem.

These are not non stick as it is stainless steel. I spray PAM on the plates before using.

Not necessarily, but you may have to add a slight coat of PAM spray to begin. It also goes back to how you prepare the Mix. In my experience I only use a slight portion of oil or PAM on my first waffle, I do use LOW fat milk and Low fat butter on my mix.

I use spray PAM over the entire bottom of the pan, and cook on medium heat. If you get the pan too hot, the food will char and stick to the pan.

I would only use olive oil for low temperature frying. Have you tried coconut oil. I use the spray.

After "losing" several pans to stick residue, I decided to use a mist sprayer filled with olive oil. So far no problems, but I don't know if there will be long term problems. Somehow, I've never bought into the "no spray cooking" theory.

No, but I rub the bottom with a little oil, and it helps things not to stick.....I didn't want the coating that is used in non-stick for health reasons......cooking at a lower temp and stirring often also helps with the "sticking" problem.

No it will stick. Due to the ridged surface area. Howver a coating of pam/cooking spray prevents that and has an easy clean up

I use these pans for all sorts of items. I often make eggs with no crust and with a non-stick cooking spray they work quite well. You need to oil them after the first was in order to "season" them anyway so the cooking spray just adds to that. I have never had a problem with anything sticking to these.
