How do you get the donuts out of this pan when finished baking? Is there a special tool or would a small silicone spatula work?

They should just come out with out using spatula. Mine jat come out when I turn the pan over.

I spray with cooking oil and you turn the pan over and the doughnuts fall right out.

Hi it just pretty much slides right out for me but I always give it a very light coat of butter/coconut oil to th pan with paper towel. You also use a none scratch utensils!

I just used the plastic end of a spatula and inserted it under the edge of the donut.The donut popped right out with very little effort.

Hi A C. Indeed I use a small silicon spatula inserted in the sides and gently push them up.

I just turn the pan over a little and they slide right out. I've never had any sticking at all so I've never needed a tool, but I'm sure a small spatula would work if you don't want to tip the pan.

I just used a small metal bent-angle spatula. The finish is non- stick, but I also sprayed the interior of the wells with a non-stick cooking spray before putting in the dough. The donuts came out very easily.

Donuts don't stick to the pan like muffins or cupcakes would. Make sure you're using a good recipe and some butter or cooking spray, and you should be fine.

I have a tiny silicone spatula that I use when they stick a little. I don't always need it, though. A lot of recipes just pop right out.

I had a sticking problem with one batch of donuts out of 3, with each being a different recipe. Some recipes are more self-lubricating than others. I tried to coat with vege oil but found that it just beaded up on the non-stick surface. PAM sounds like a good solution.

I had this problem recently, and I used a piece of plastic to pry the paddle off. Now I coat the spindle it sits on with canola oil before baking.

I used what the mix recommended. It's non-stick, but I checked with fork at midpoint and at end just to make sure. When batter turned into cake as fork showed I pulled it out of oven. It came out fine. Most important is to use a good amount of Pam on divider blades and everywhere else. Non-stick doesn't work as well as you'd think. Use/spray oil. If not its a bear to clean. I found out the hard way.

I just used non-stick cooking spray. If it still sticks Wilton makes a cake release product you could try.

I use Pam spray with flour. Also make sure to let them cool slightly not to disturb their delicate shape. Also a small spatula around edge works to slightly loosen more sticky batters. Janice H.

Yes, I remove it after the last "rise" before baking time begins. You gently remove the dough and paddle (you may have to gently pry the dough off the paddle, reshape it a bit, and replace it in the pan). I don't even bother to push pause, and re-start as there is a bit of a rise period before the actual baking starts. With a little practice, you can do it quickly. My loaves always come out great!

I've only used non-stick spray on mine. With no sticking issues at all. I make bagels/cake like items though, not donuts. Maybe the batter makes a difference?

Shirley, sorry to hear about your donuts not coming out of your pans. I haven't used the pans yet, but sounds like the the nonstick surface isn't working.

I've found that if you wait until the cakes are about lukewarm to the touch, they come out without issue. I generally have rather moist recipes though, so it could be related to your recipe as well. I also buttered the silicone quickly before I put the batter in, to make extra sure I wouldn't have to deal with crumbly cakes.

I have not tried to make donuts, but it's great for cakes and donuts are basically the same thing. Good luck!

It's actually really easy using a rubber spatula (silicone), as that can get around the edges the best. It's harder with a large flat spatula, but can be done using the corners of the spatula.

Try to use a baked doughnut recipe. I have never had a problem and I cook GF.

You fill and bake just like a muffin pan. The leavening in the dough causes to doughnuts to rise and become at least somewhat rounded on top, depending on the recipe you use. I tried the recipe that came with the pan and was unimpressed, but have been very pleased with the results from other recipes I've tried.

It's not supposed to come off. I use mine to sift powdered sugar, and cake flour. After I'm done I rinse it and place it in the dish holder to drain. Be careful that you don't damage it by disassembling it.

Put a little oil on the pan, or spray it with Pam first. Remember to take it off the pan before you cut your pizza. Enjoy!

Yes. They have a light silicone coating that shouldn't go into the dishwasher. If you give them a quickie spritz with a baking spray they should be fine. I over-filled mine and used a little silicone spatula to loosen the donuts. That was all they needed. BTW - the spice donut recipe that comes with them is very good.
