Do you need to spray the pan so that the popovers don't stick?

Usually yes. I made this recipe and the pan worked great using a spray oil. http://www.tastingtable.com/entry_detail/chefs_recipes/2066/Gruyere_And_Black_Pepper_Popovers_Recipe.htmHave fun

I much prefer brushing on oil . I heat the pan in the oven then brush on oil when hot. I also pierce the popover when done to let the steam escape.

The instructions with the recipe I used recommended that you rub the inside of the individual cups with butter. Equally important is to preheat the pan for two minutes before putting the batter in it.

I have never tried baking popovers or muffins in this pan without cooking spray so I can't tell you but I can tell you that when you use cooking spray the muffins fall right out if the pan

When you first get the pan, no. However, after repeated uses the popovers might start sticking. In that case, try the spray--but do not be surprised if the spray fails to stick while the popovers still do.

I sprayed mine just to be on the safe side and out of habit but the surface is so slick now that I think about it I probably didn't need to do that.

Yes it's more of a problem. You're not supposed to use spray oil so I just use a more oil/butter when cooking, then soak the pan in warm soapy water before cleaning. Sometimes I just soak overnight and clean in the morning. Use a Teflon scrubby pad or brush to clean.

Yes, they are non-stick and clean up nicely, but as a habit, I always spray with my pans with Pam or some non-stick cooking spray.

Never had a problem with the new pans, but I also used PAM olive oil spray.

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.

In my experience, I have have to use a non-stick cooking spray. Butter has not worked well.

Yes. But every once in a while I just spray some nonstick spray on it and wipe it off to keep it nonstick.

i've baked bread twice in these pans. Each time I've used them, I've sprayed the pans with non-stick cooking spray and the bread did not stick.

I grease the pan, but you probably don't need to. I usually spray some Pam in it. Fortunately, because it's a silicone pan, the grease doesn't burn on the pan and it washes right off.

Yes, to keep it from build up of non-stick spray, place a damp paper towel in it when done. It steam cleans all the gunkie build up from happening. Enjoy.

No, I just spray it with a little cooking spray and have had no problems at all! I live these pans!

May want to use just a tad bit of non stick spray. I didnt have to use any but it might help a bit.

Hi Patricia, you will have to use non-stick spray (Pam) while using it. It is truly a fantastic appliance - I'm still using it every week and it's still in great condition and I just love it. When I make my waffles, I can get two waffles per spray at the 4.5 setting. I also use a spatula to take the cooked waffles off the griddle. Hope this helps if not, let me know. Take care, Leslie

It is suggested that you spray them with a non-stick spray (PAM). After doing that each time, the muffins that stuck like crazy to a regular pan, literally, fell out of these. Cleaning is a snap. I highly recommend these pans!

yes, when I made it I used a regular baking pan with no problems. I used cooking spray just to be safe on the pan, though.

I spray pan with Pam and it cleans up very well. I would not use foil or anything else. Soak with hot sudsy water for a short while and pan will clean up beautifully.

Yes, you need to grease these pans. These pan are not non stick. I usually spray Pam.
