Slip, slip, sliding right out of the pan...
Like many diehard bakers, I use nonstick cooking spray on a fairly regular basis. And most of the time I use a discount brand, because I'm sort of a discount brand girl. My discount spray works fairly well, but there are times when it doesn't quite do the trick.
Oddly enough, I most frequently have trouble with sticking when I'm using my, uh, nonstick muffin tin.
It's not an old muffin tin, and the finish isn't chipping off or anything, but my goodness, I have such trouble with rolls and muffins sticking.
In fact, I have more trouble with that pan than I do with my plain muffin tin.
That makes no sense, I know.
Anyway, when I found out I was supposed to try the new, improved PAM® on my toughest sticking problem, I knew this muffin pan was a prime candidate.
70% better no-stick performance? Perfect.
I made some basic dinner roll dough and greased my muffin pan right up. 
Why is my pan on the dishwasher door?
That's so any overspray goes on the dishwasher door. Much easier than cleaning overspray off of my counter.
One other quick tip: when I spray muffin tins, I like to use a little pastry brush to distribute the spray evenly.
I made some cloverleaf rolls because I think they're more interesting than plain round rolls.
Here they are all risen and ready to go into the oven.
After they finished baking, I took them out of the oven, let them cool for a minute, and readied myself for the usual sticking.
But look at this!
My rolls actually came out of that pan intact! All I had to do was gently run a knife around the rolls, and they came loose.
Let's look a little closer, shall we? Check out that perfection.
Normally the cloverleafs that come out of this pan have torn bits on the sides, so you can imagine my delight over these neat, unmarred rolls. 
Marvelous.
I have to say, I wasn't sure any cooking spray could make my muffin tin work this well! I am impressed.
I didn't use any more spray than usual; I didn't change the recipe I used; I didn't change my greasing method...the only thing that changed was the brand of cooking spray.
So, despite my original skepticism, I'm convinced. The new PAM cooking spray is definitely better than the bargain brand I've been buying, so if you need superior protection against sticking, this is the spray for you. You can use PAM in any recipe you'd like, of course, but if you're interested in making my rolls, here's the recipe.
Basic Dinner Rolls-makes 24-36
Ingredients
1 cup milk
⅓ cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks
1 teaspoon salt
2 packages(4 ½ teaspoons) active dry yeast
4 ¼-4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1. Combine milk, sugar, butter, and salt in glass measuring cup or bowl. Microwave(or heat on stove top) until the butter is melted and the mixture reaches 120-125 degrees.
2. Combine yeast and 2 cups flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add warm milk mixture and eggs and beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of flour and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes. Mix in as much of the remaining flour as you can by hand.
3. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Put the dough in a bowl, cover with a tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for one hour.
4. Punch dough down, divide in half, and follow instructions below to shape the rolls.
Cloverleafs: Grease a 12 cup muffin pan. Take half of the dough and divide it into 12 pieces. Cut each of these pieces in three(you will have 36 pieces). Roll each piece into a neat ball, and place three into each muffin cup.
Knots Grease a large cookie sheet. Take half of the dough and divide it into twelve pieces. Roll each into a 6 inch strip and tie into a loose knot. Place on greased cookie sheet.
Rosettes Follow instructions for knots, but after tying the knot, tuck one end into the middle of the knot and one end underneath the knot to form a rosette shape.
5. Cover rolls and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
6. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool on wire rack.

Banana Bread and other quick breads come out perfectly when using Pam.
Chocolate chip banana bread is a breeze with Pam!
Have you compared it to other products like Misto containers? Where you basically make your own spray using your own oil. I'm just not too crazy about the ingredients they add into PAM like sprays but I was wondering if you tried the alternatives.
I do love your dishwasher door idea and how nice and brown your rolls got. They look so pretty. I love when things bake perfectly...
I love Misto in theory but the clogging is driving me nuts.
Bummer... I haven't had that problem yet and I've owned my Misto for year. Maybe you got a defective product.
I tossed my Misto too. Same problem. Clogging was a pain in the heiny. Most of my friends and family eventually had the same issue.
I'm not eligible to enter but wanted to say "Gorgeous Rolls!"
I made snickerdoodles just two days ago and used Pam!
Definitely banana bread and pumpkin bread!
My specialty is mini-muffin brownies topped with cream cheese topping, hot fudge and strawberries. This would be impossible without Pam.
I just made my favorite rolls (using Pam): Rustic Dinner Rolls. The recipe is from Cooks Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen and they are consistently fabulous.
I love those rolls. I make them all the time.
I like to make blueberry muffins with PAM.
I use Pam when making meatballs in my crockpot.
I like to make cinnamon rolls with Pam!
under green beans I am going to roast on really high heat!
Banana bread for sure!!! Beautiful rolls!!
Caramel Rolls!
I love to make your banana/chocolate chip muffins. Yummy!
I love the idea about using the dishwasher door!!!
Sweet cornbread muffins (from thefrugalgirl of course). For most anything else that I bake in my muffin tin I use baking papers, but cornbread muffins are much better with a crunchy crust, and you can only get that baking right on the metal pan.
I love making muffins with Pam. They never stick!
Snickerdoodles, no question!
I use Pam with everything! I use the grilling Pam when using my extremely finicky and seriously sticky grill, cooking Pam on recipes I don't want to use olive oil on, but need a little bit of help at the start, and baking Pam when I make brownies.
You know, I thought I was crazy for thinking that PAM works better than other sprays. Ha! I'm not!!
My favorite things to make with PAM are quick breads, but I also like to spray a little on the edges of the pan when I make baked pasta dishes or other casseroles. It makes clean-up SO much easier.
chocolate chip banana muffins
The recipe I just couldn't make without PAM? Well, it's most of them. 🙂 My daughter made coffee cake recently and forgot to use PAM. As you can imagine, it was a bit of a disaster...
Any type of bread and muffins!
I use PAM alot, but I couldn't make eggs without it.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.
I like to make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins with PAM. MMMM!
I make a yummy sherry cake in a bundt pan and it always sticks... I'll be sure to try this!
I'm another that uses it for Grandma's Banana Bread!
Chocolate cake!!
I get the most use out of it for making fried eggs.
I am a Pam fan and have tried this new formula with very good results! My two fav uses are spraying a pan to make an egg for a sandwich or for mini-cupcakes- they can be tough to get out without sticking and Pam does the trick!
Muffins or cookies, for sure!
I am a huge fan of Pam but since I have some from a while back, I haven't purchased the new one yet. But I agree with a lot of bakers when I say I use it when I am making banana bread. So nice to just flip the pan on it's side and plop out it comes all in tact. Yay!!!
Using Pam for any cakes or breads makes my job so much easier.
Poppy seed bread!
I have to use cooking spray when making zucchini chocolate chip muffins. Can't wait to try the new Pam.
PS- your rolls look better than restaurant quality; can't wait to try them too. Yum!
I love to make Triple Berry Oatmeal Muffins with PAM non-stick spray. It's perfect because they're very low-fat and stick too much to muffin liners. 🙂
Pumpkin Cream Cheese muffins!
I use Pam to make my grilled cheese sandwiches. I put the sandwiches together, and spray the bread, then grill. They come out golden and toasty and low in fat.
Morning Glory Muffins from King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking book. For cookies I use a reusable silicon "parchment" sheet. I don't like using muffin papers because you lose so much muffin to the paper cup.
Not that I'm against Pam or any other spray or anything like that - I use it plenty - but this post (to my jaundiced eye?) reads more like marketing material than the Frugal Girl.
Really? I wrote the whole thing myself, except for the sweepstakes/legalese bit at the end, and the only fact I used from Pam's marketing claims was the 70% part, which was printed on the can. I felt like it was just me, writing about my experience. I didn't get any editorial guidance or direction. 🙂
Maybe you're a natural marketeer?
Gosh, I must be! I really did go into this process skeptical, and I was as surprised as anyone when the Pam spray worked better than my normal brand. I didn't believe it until I tried it.
To me, too.
Hmm. I'm so stumped by this. I wonder what's so different about this post than my other review posts.
I actually found this review to be more valuable than 90% of the reviews I see on other blogs. You had a problem: dough sticking to your muffin pans. Pam solved the problem better than the cheaper version you were using. You illustrated all of that in the pictures so it's legit. Bottom line: sometimes, you get what you pay for. Well done!
I use non-stick spray when making egg white scrambles in the microwave.
I use Pam's organic olive oil spray with anything that I bake. Love it!
I use it to make eggs mostly, but it also works great in my muffin pan when I make raisin bran muffins!
Blueberry muffins!!
I've had trouble in the past with the overspray being incredibly difficult to clean off the pan. For that reason, I haven't used cooking spray in years - I just use my fingers and a bit of butter, or in the case of muffins, the super-cheap muffin papers I found at GFS (under $6 for 500 biodegradeable papers? Yes, please!).
Does the overspray clean up easily? Or does it make the surface of the pan tacky afterwards? I had a cookie sheet that got absolutely ruined with baked-on overspray, which is when I stopped using nonstick spray altogether.
I have the same problem with any nonstick cooking spray- even though I try to wipe off any extra before baking, the pan always eventually gets sticky and I can never get it clean again. But since all my muffin tins look this way now, I continue to use it. And I have noticed that Pam works better than the off brand when I make my banana chocolate chip muffins.
I'm with you on ruined baking pans & sheet with cooking spray. I find butter really works the best. I save the papers that sticks of butter are wrapped in, fold gently, and put in the freezer in a baggie. When I need to butter a pan, I pull out the wrappers as they almost always have a little bit of butter left on them.
To be fair - I probably haven't used cooking spray in over a decade.
I never had good luck with butter - it stuck much more than canola in a mister
I don't use PAM, I like to use my Misto (which is a refillable can becomes "aerosol" when you pump it up--it's definitely less wasteful, so you might like it!). But I use that for EVERYTHING. I used it today to roast some veggies and always use it on my baking stone when I'm making pizza or hamburger buns, too. I'd love to win the gift card and coupons!
I have a spray bottle like that from Pampered Chef. I quit using it because it clogged so easily. I felt that it was a waste of time and money. I tried various types of oil in it and it clogged no matter what brand or type of oil.
zucchini bread. i make it all fall... this year i bought a store brand. what a mess.! only PAM from now on!
I always use PAM cooking spray on my foil and in the baking dish when I make lasagna. It prevents the cheese from sticking! 😀
ummm.... EVERYTHING! We use it on the grill, in pans, skillets. Pretty much every recipe.
Chocolate oatmeal cake. It always sticks to the bottom of the pan.
Thanks for the giveaway!!! Sugar cookies are what I need non stick cooking spray for, and corn bread:)
Oh! This is exactly the problem I just had. I made a delicious and devise Strawberry-Lemon Yogurt Loaf but it stuck to the pan (in a bad way) because I decided a light buttering would be enough.
*divine
Kristen -
I think you did a very nice job on the review. It is a fine line for your type of blog but you are ALWAYS very transparent in your ethics and how certain events transpired - like the Aldi trip. I try to read you blog everyday because you have such a grounded view of the world and a wonderful family.
Enjoy your rolls!
Like using Pam for my pancakes. Want to try it next time I make cranberry waffles, last time they stuck pretty bad.
Huh. I had no idea it would matter; I just get the Aldi brand. Sometimes they have one with flour in it for baking, and that seems to work just dandyfine.
I would like to make my scones!
I love to use Pam when making buttermilk sandwich bread.
I use it when I make your Garlic Pull-Apart bread! Thank you for that awesome recipe, we make it all the time!!! And I definitely prefer PAM. I have the same issue with my non-stick and use PAM every time.
Banana bread or any quick bread
I use the cooking spray for eggplant on its way to becoming eggplant parmesan. It is quicker, more even, and lessy oily than brushing the olive oil onto the slices prior to broiling.
Though I usually use Pam with omlettes, it's a must have with bundt pans. Without spraying all nooks and crannies a Bundt looks terrible.
I love using Pam cooking spray for kolaches!
Blueberry buckle muffins with Pam spray to make sure all the good stuff comes out with the muffin!
I like to spray my baking pans before I make enchiladas. It helps them come out of the pan with no sticking, and also makes cleaning up the cheesy leftovers sauce that much easier. I've had times where I've forgotten to spray and regretted it!
I use it for eggs, brownies and bread.
My favorite would be blueberry lemon muffins!
Egg whites.....every morning I cook 4 egg whites for my super healthy daughter.
My favorite recipe to that uses PAM is the Coconut & Red Bean sticky rice cake! I love it when nothing sticks to the pan!

My favorite recipe to use Pam with is chicken stuffing bake. It makes my glass pan super easy to wash afterwards. Easy clean up makes me happy 🙂
I have the same problem with my muffin pan so this would be great to try. Thanks for the chance.
I tweeted about this also. https://twitter.com/#!/bboop7/status/164840342884057090
I've been using a misto for a few years now. However, I think Pam might work better on my muffins.
Roasted potato wedges come off the pan easily with Pam!
Since I bake gluten free all the time, I use Pam sprayed on plastic wrap to roll out my doughs and to keep the plastic from sticking to the dough (I can't even think of using wax paper because the doughs are so sticky). It works like a charm, is cheap, and easy!
It's not that I have a favorite recipe to use with Pam, because that's ALL I use ... Mistos have not luck for me and I've never even ventured into another brand ... so glad to see that Costco carrys the new and improved stuff too!
I love me some monkey bread using Pam and my bundt pan.
Cornbread muffins with jalapeno bits inside 🙂
i can't enter 🙁 but don't you use silicone muffin tins? if not is there a reason? They are awesome, in fact no more sticking full stop and back to using budget cooking spray for me!
Okay, so I haven't bought Pam in literally years because somewhere down the line I started just greasing everything with butter. BUT...baking muffins is the bane of my existence, because I have to grease each and every one of those little cups and it makes me CRAZY! I think you may have just convinced me to buy some Pam. Then I can make double batches of my favorite muffins without wanting to throw things.
My favorite dish to make with PAM is broccoli casserole.
I tweeted.
https://twitter.com/Cinbat03
I love to make double chocolate chip cookies with Pam on the baking sheet 🙂
That muffin tin looks awfully familiar. I think I have the same wretched one. I use PAM for baking all my muffin recipes as we love muffins, and I don't want to buy papers. Too aggravating when pieces stick to the pan!
I use it for making over easy eggs. I spray some on the pan and on the spatula and the eggs always come out perfectly 😀 It's the only way I can manage to not break the yolk when flipping eggs!
Hm, I have no idea what kind of cooking spray I have; I bought it a year ago and it's still going. For muffins I usually use the little paper cups to avoid sticking but maybe I'll try cooking spray next time. Thanks for the review!
PS: I blogged about it:
http://thinkingissues.wordpress.com/2012/02/02/pam-a-100-give-away/

Definitely cookies/muffins.

Hands down- COOKIES!
I'm a big fan of generic brands of all kinds, but PAM is one thing that I always buy.....it just works!
Muffins would have to be my favorite thing. I'd love to try it for muffin pans when cooking eggs for egg McMuffins. Could definitely use some non-stick help.
I love it for muffins. That way i don't have to use muffin wrappers when they are being eaten at home.
Cornbread muffins. They come out perfectly every time when I use PAM.
I use PAM when cooking all the time, every day! The only thing I don't use it for is when I'm making popcorn on the stovetop, because I use olive oil instead. 🙂 I'm glad your rolls turned out so pretty! Cloverleafs are my favorite too.
Our favorite: Rice crispy treats of course, I just can't make them without PAM!
I'm already a winner because not only did I learn about the superior quality of PAM but I learned how to eliminate messy overspray.
I have the same problem as you when I make my Sunshine Harvest bread. each loaf has little scares from where it stuck to the pan. So that is what i'd bake with PAM if I win.
i love making crunchy salmon using Pam
tweeted https://twitter.com/#!/karinaroselee/status/164939304416706564
Mary Hunt's Blasted Chicken recipe. That stinker really makes a mess of the baking dish unless you use some Pam!
I liked to make cranberry orange muffins.
My favorite dish to make with PAM is Ham, onion & Mushroom Omelets. I bake homemade bread a lot. I love your cloverleaf rolls baked in muffin cups, I'll try to use your recipe this weekend.

Chocolate cake
Chocolate chip pumpkin muffins!!!
Muffins! Just yesterday I used Pam to make pumpkin muffins. No stick, baby!
Chocolate chip banana bread, or chocolate chip pumpkin muffins....
Cornbread muffins, or anything in the muffin pan really!
I like to make little brownie muffins for my son's snacks with Pam
I LOVE pam and I use it all the time to cook my eggs. I love to use it when I cook my egg white frittata for the week. My eggs never stick and I can slide the whole frittata out onto a cutting board and cut into my individual serving sizes. It's great.
banana bread with reece's peanut butter chips!! yummy 🙂
I'm sold! I stopped using Pam many years ago because I wanted to do away with the can. I've tried many different oil misters over the years but they all break soon after getting them. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I don't have the patience to spread oil or butter on to my pans before using. If The Frugal Girl can use nonstick spray and not feel bad about it then I can too! Incidentally, when I WAS using Pam, there was a definite difference between Pam and no name nonstick sprays - Pam was better, hands down! I have definitely missed Pam for muffins and coffee cakes. 🙂 Thanks for the review!
Any type of quick bread or muffin- my favorite cranberry orange muffins.
Oooo....homemade chocolate brownies from my Hershey's chocolate cookbook. Good stuff.
I make the wonderful whole wheat bread recipe from this blog. I use Pam to grease the loaf pans 🙂
Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins 🙂
Brownies, for the chocoholic husband. I make them about every five days. Any help with stickiness is much appreciated!
I love to make morning glory muffins, but hate to use liners. Love Pam!
I am going to say banana bread but I think it will soon be your cloverleaf rolls!! I am pretty new to your blog but I didn't notice a difference in this post. You even had your own tips and a recipe included. I thought it sounded just like you!
I use it for my bread pans. I really like its spray nozzle--does a nice job of coating evenly.
I use Pam to make overnight refrigerator cinnamon rolls. It's easy to pull the pan out of the fridge to bake in the morning with the rolls already risen in the pan. I spray the pan the the plastic wrap that goes over the top.
I use PAM when I make my grandmother's pear bread recipe using pears from my mom's tree. Delicious!
Pam works great for my homemade sourdough bread
I like using Pam when making cupcakes and muffins so I don't have to use the liners.
I use Pam when baking frozen sweet potato fries. Spray the baking sheet and the fries come off easily.
Banana bread!
Kristen, funnily enough, I was making these rolls (whole wheat version) for the first time yesterday - before the post came up! They were my first attempt at yeast rolls and they WOWED my friends - and were delicious! I couldn't believe how easy they really were to make.
I like to use PAM for cinnamon rolls (or anything sticky & gooey)
I use m cooking spray a lot for cinnamon zucchini bread but also have a loaf pan that sticks so I'd like to try this new spray in that. I use spray on most baking/ cooking pans but always try to remember it in my crockpots. This makes clean-up so much easier!
I use PAM for just about everything I bake and also to spray in measuring cups for things like honey and molasses.
I use Pam when I make lasagna. The cleanup is sooooooo much easier!
Banana nut bread is my favorite, but I use it for all my baking. I'm not taking any risks.
I love making your whole-wheat sandwich bread recipe. I may add this one to the queue!
This new and improved PAM would be perfect for my mini muffin pan.
Oddly, we use Butter Flavored Pam to spray on air-popped popcorn then season as usual. Perfect coating of buttery flavor every time.
I use a spray bottle with oil in it. But I wonder think anything would help broiler pan stickage? I have to say my broiler pan the other day was heck to clean! I threaten to buy a new one every few years, it seems.
I have the same problem with my muffin tin. I guess I need to use the name-brand spray.
I use it on my homemade sandwich bread! Pops right out of the bread pan.
I love to roast vegetables (cauliflower and cabbage especially) with Pam - it's a great way to help cut the fat.
I use PAM for all my baking--most often for whole wheat bread. I use it not only on the pan, but on the top of the dough while it is rising.
I am not entering the contest just wanted to give my two cents.
I am currently making the rolls with your instructions. One thing I did different was to use organic ingredients and I didn't use Pam spray. Too many things in that spray to worry me. I instead am using olive oil in a spray bottle. Never had any issues with my spray bottle clogging and my baked goods come out just fine. Better yet no paper used means less trees chopped down.
I have to point out this is my first time making rolls ever. If I master this then I want to try my hand out on making my own bread. I use a bread machine that has a non stick pan to cook the bread and it's the only non stick item I own. I would love to stop using this machine and pass it onto someone else.
I love your blog whether your using organic/green options or not. Your inspring and I can alter my life with your idea's. Keep up the good work!
I love using PAM for dinner rolls.
I'm not entering either--more two cents here:
PAM leaves a terrible, brown sticky residue on my baking pans that's impossible to scrub off, and I loathe it! In addition, it's an environmental disaster--the cans end up in the land fill.
I love my pressurized spray bottle, it's refillable, uses PURE oil (I use olive oil--the amount is so small that you can't taste it and olive oil is a better oil for your body), and no residue on the pans. My sprayer clogged once, but a good cleaning cured it. I got my sprayer with a 20% off coupon, and the oil is a good price too.
IMHO, PAM is not frugal at all!
I rarely use nonstick spray, but I would use it for my honey mustard chicken. I always have to scrub crusties off the pan.
I like it for sweet breads and muffins, but especially for mini chocolate chip bran muffins!
Nice looking rolls!
I really enjoy reading your blog, though I have to say I'm scratching my head a bit with this one. I am not sure how frugal PAM spray really is - why not just spread a bit of butter/oil with little cloth towel? (or using the the butter/margarine wrappers when they look 'all done'). I don't use oil sprays, but can't imagine the time savings are more than marginal (a few seconds?), and I'm concerned about the increased waste (is the bottle recyclable?). The spray does say 0 fat, but this is because the serving size is 1/3 second and it is rounded down.
anyway, would be interested in hearing your perspective on this.
love your blog!
Well, I suppose this is one of those areas where I'm not QUITE as frugal as I could be! 🙂 I do grease some things by hand, but I find greasing muffin tins to be really tedious.
I definitely don't use it because I'm that concerned about fat...butter doesn't scare me.
I agree! Muffin tins are the worst! I also think that the cost per use of Pam is probably lower than more expensive butter. I could be wrong, but my Pam seems to last forever. I use the baking version which includes flour, so it takes care of two steps and two products.
I use pam on anything i bake. I hate sticking.
I use it for my
Banana bread muffins!
I used the new improved PAM earlier today! Makes rice krispie squares slide right out of the pan.
Didn't read like marketing material one bit, and it might be more frugal to use oil, but it doesn't work as well as cooking spray. Especially not on muffin pans. I sometimes wonder why people feel the need to make critical comments about something that is done with the best of intentions.
I completely trust your recommendations, so I will be trying it! And, since it's a new product, I'm sure there will he tons of coupons out, so everybody will probably be able to get it for much cheaper than store brand, if they choose.
Btw, I use it the most for baking cakes!
we are crazy about pumpkin bread
A killer omlette!
I love to make bread just like you do. And I do use off-brand spray. Now that I see how good this works, I might have to buy some. Thanks for this giveaway.
PAM is a staple in my pantry. I use it daily, no exaggeration.
I bake a lot, and I don't even have to run a knife around the edges of a loaf; I just turn the pan upside down and the bread comes right out into my hand. If it's a tall loaf, I can just lift it out!
The dishwasher lid thing is an excellent idea! I'm going to use that one!
I use both regular and butter-flavored PAM, depending on what I'm cooking. The regular is awesome when I use my crockpot; nothing sticks to the sides!
I love using Pam for corn bread muffins. Such a good compliment to a steaming bowl of chili!
I love using Pam to make pumpkin, chocolate-chip bread...it's always gone in a snap!
i use Pam for everything! Especially when I scramble eggs
i tweeted here: https://twitter.com/#!/bellows22/status/166039682302484481
my blueberry waffles and pancakes need PAM every time
Your rolls are gorgeous! I use Pam when I bake cheesecake to keep my graham cracker crust from sticking to my springform pan.
sweet potato casserole
I like the organic pam with olive oil. I use it for eggs and there are always coupons in the sunday paper.
OMG, that is a great idea about the dishwasher!
I use PAM to cook eggs to order!
Umm, all my non-stick cookware says DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS, they will render your non-stick surface useless. However, I love Pam in my glass and metal pans for breads.
Ooh. Maybe that's my problem!
I just like to make some Lemon Garlic Chicken with Pam!!

I love brown sugar coffee cake! Yumm! It can be very sticky without a good amount of spray!
I usually use the store brand for cooking spray and have had good luck with it, however, Pam with flour is different. I never make a bundt without it. It's a life saver, or rather, a bundt saver!
I use PAM when I saute delicate tilapia for fish tacos and also for baking any quick bread recipe.
I use Pam for all my baking...cakes come out perfectly!
I'll be honest here... I don't use non-stick cooking spray. I've had bad bad bad experiences with it in the past, with food sticking, or it being IMPOSSIBLE to scrub off of my dishes. I gave up non-stick spray a year ago.
HOWEVER, I'm willing to test it out and try to make a comeback with a "new, improved" version--because I'd like to see how much newer and improveder it is. I do use vegetable lard/oil for the majority of my baking... and that includes muffins, cakes, casseroles, my crockpot, etc.
i use cooking sprays for alot of my cooking from stove top to aking!
PAM is my go-to camping lifesaver, no joke. I always pick up a can before heading to the mountains for the weekend because it works for EVERYTHING. Roasting marshmallows, eggs and pancakes for breakfast, chicken for dinner. Seriously the best!
I use Pam on everything.. I always buy the brand name, it makes such a difference over the store brand. I like it best for muffins!
I use PAM for everything...my mom always used it growing up. My favorite recipe to use it with is Kristen's chocolate chip banana muffins. Thanks!
I love making brownies and bar cookies with Pam!
Right now it's your homemade granola bars! Not trying to butter you up or anything, but my family LOVES those. I make at least one batch a week.
I love using it instead of oil or butter for sauteing veggies and meat. Cuts down on the fat and greasiness of the food. 🙂
Love to use PAM when I make chocolate chip and butternut squash muffins.
I'd have to say your dinner roll recipe that I stole from you.
On a side note, I love that Cooking.com has the same logo as the SEGA Dreamcast.
Applesauce-fiber one muffins....they are sort of dry and have no oil so they pop right out with the Pam! And of course any time I cook chicken breast in the oven.
Pumpkin muffins!
I like to use Pam for scrambling eggs or egg whites. It's much healthier than butter or oil.
I've used Pam for brownies.
I honestly use PAM for EVERYTHING! Baking of course, but really for all cooking. I spray everything, including non-stick pots, and it's also a wonderful non-fat way to ensure that spices adhere to meats. Love my PAM!
hmm I'm just not starting to cook more but I use Pam to spray the toaster oven tray as well as my skillets so food doesn't stick - so I'll say scrambled eggs for my 'recipe' - 1 egg and 1/2 cup egg whites with some diced onion in a pan sprayed with Pam.
I use PAM for 2 ingrediant pumpkin muffins! A can of pumpkin and a box of spice cake mix. Yum!
You don't add the eggs, oil and water the cake mix calls for? This sounds really good and easy.

Banana bread and cookies or muffins.
I use Pam for all my baking. I guess I make banana blueberry bread the most!
Italian wedding cake with Pam comes right out! Which is a must because it is so delicate!

I have to confess: I've never used PAM!
🙂 Those look delicious!
I use Pam no matter what the baking is. When I first learned to cook, I found that Pam was my best friend. It has improved in taste over the years, as well as functionality. I love making everything from banana nut bread to lasagna to brownies -- yep, all comfort foods that WILL make a mess if you use anything but Pam! Now I own that As Seen on TV brownie pan. The ONLY way to keep it from sticking is to use Pam, so I have to say that's my mainstay.
Oh, and I must tell you what my 13 year old loves Pam for: popcorn! If you've ever air-popped popcorn, then you know you cannot just drizzle butter on it, without it acting like you just dumped water on it. My daughter, 8 years old at the time, was looking at the Butter Flavored one, and gave it a shot. Passed it out to 7 of her playmates. They gobbled it down and asked for seconds! Even their parents were surprised. (Much better for you than salt and butter, but tastes just as sinful!)
PS The next time you try making any sort of oven-fried something, spray Pam on TOP right as you put it in the oven. Definitely gives the effect of authentically fried!
Banana bread from scratch! Excellent way to use up overripe bananas.
I, too, always use the dishwasher door! Pam makes great oven fries--I spray the pan, arrange the cut potatoes and spray again. Roast at about 400 for 20 minutes or so, depending on the thickness of your potato pieces, turn the pieces and roast some more until they're as brown as you like. Yum!
I use it to grease the pan, then a shot on top of my baked crab rangoon or other pocket-type foods. Yum!
I use Pam when I make lasagna and baked enchiladas

My favorite recipe to make with Pam is also muffins. Actually my Whole wheat banana chocolate chip muffins are the real favorite at our house. 😉
I don't use PAM, I use butter (often just whatever butter is left on the wrappers), can I still be entered?
I think I have the same muffin tins! Mine always stick with store brand spray. I heard about this new Pam on a different blog and LOVE it. My favorite recipe to use Pam with would have to be Chunky Monkey Waffles. (My waffle makers sticks worse than my muffin tin.
I use PAM to spray my egg pan before I make fried eggs or omelets! Thanks for the giveaway.

I am pretty frugal and I still use Pam, my time scrubbing pans counts for something you know. Anyway I normally buy the store brand but I bought Pam Baking last time, still got it on sale and so worth the little extra I paid. I like to make blueberry muffins but they even stick when you use paper cups, not so when I used the Pam.
I, too, use the dishwasher to spray into. And my favorite use of Pam - Olive oil is to spray cheesy crumbs on chicken in the oven, helping it crisp up.
I make muffins on the weekends for my neighbors to enjoy. Pam makes it so much easier! thanks!
any casserole I make.... thanks for a chance to win!
And, have a GREAT day!

I like to spray Pam directly on whatever meat I am fixing, right before I sprinkle on the seasonings.. it really helps it to adhere to the meat. chefl@swbell.net
I use PAM to make my favorite dinner meal: Salmon . Very easy clean-up!
I use Pam to make Spinach Pie.

I love to make rice crispy treats with pam....since my kids can't have dairy or gluten.

I like using Pam on my glass baking dishes for all kinds of things. Meats, roasted veggies and potatoes. Lots of great cooking starts with Pam!
I love to make monkey bread using Pam.
I just made banana bread with Pam!
I use Pam for my whole wheat bread -- The Frugal Girl's recipe!
I use Pam all the time. Love it!
I use Pam all the time. Love it!
I have to agree, I use Pam for everything especially bread pans never stick.
After making Rice Crispy treats and brownies this weekend using butter or oil in the pans and having everything stick I'll be buying some Pam on my next trip to the store!
Banana bread
Hmmm....right now, I'd say I usually use it when I make homemade granola bars, because I'm doing that at least weekly! But probably the time it's absolutely essential is when I'm making a birthday cake with a cake mold. If I'm going to spend several hours decorating Optimus Prime, the cake darn well better come out of the pan without leaving clumps behind! 😉
Brownies! Yes, brownies are my favorite item to use Pam with.
I use Pam on just about everything! I most recently used it on my glass casserole dish when I made cinnamon rolls.
I use the spray for homemade pizza and brownies.
whole wheat sandwich bread.
pop-overs in muffin pans or cakes in a bundt pan-what did we do before Pam? 🙂
Very strange that you posted this because I made your clover-leaf rolls today with leftover dough from your whole wheat bread recipe {I only have one bread pan}! And I used Pam! I like their baking spray because it has flour in it. I see a blog post about this in the near future! 😉
My favorite thing(s) to make with Pam is homemade pizza {I always give the pizza pan a quick spray} and now FG clover leaf rolls. 🙂
I love baking carrot cake with Pam. yum.
I use olive oil in a Pampered Chef spray bottle. It does a decent job, but I'm willing to try Pam with a coupon and/or on sale. 🙂
I like to use PAM with panko recipes so it stays on my meat/veggies and not on the pan.
Even the middle brownies don't stick with Pam!
Have to say Blueberry Muffins area must in my house and Pam spray helps them come out perfectly!
I love to make choc chip pumpkin muffins with Pam. They are oh so healthy with flax seen and fresh ground wheat...but don't tell my kids, they eat them like cake!
I always use Pam for baking my banana muffins and cookies. They come out Perfectly!
Sandwich bread!!!
I love to make chocolate cupcakes using Pam!
Cakes! I always use pam to grease my cake pans and my cakes come out beautifully.
I love using Pam! I really got into baking again after becoming a fan of your blog and Pam is the only thing I will use. I would just hate for my baked goods to stick to the pans after all that work of making them. Thank you for all the tips, recipes, and inspiration I get from your blog!
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins - my daughters favorite!
blueberry muffins and pumpkin breads pop right out with Pam
I like when things slip slide right on out of the pan!
My hubby LOVES to have muffins for breakfast so I like to make blueberry and chocolate chip muffins for him!
I bake almost daily so I use non stick spray for everything. It is especially handy for any type of muffin or bread. Also, super helpful when roasting potatoes or making a baked french fry.
I just made brownies on Saturday using PAM.
I use PAM for my favorite blueberry swirl muffins! Love it!
I bake banana bread and brownies with Pam.
I think my favorite recipe to make would be wheat sandwich bread or cheap cheap french bread, since those are made regularly at my house.
Don't ya just hate it when things stick in a muffin pan? Not only does it ruin the food but it's such a pain to have to clean out each individual muffin hole in the pan. A small spray of PAM before baking saves lots of disappointment and work later on. I use PAM for my skillet before cooking on stovetop but I must admit I like to use Baker's Joy for things I am baking in the oven ... it's basically PAM plus flour all in one spray ... perfect for baking!
Low-fat fresh blueberry muffins. YUM!
Pam works great for eggs!
Fritttatas!!! It's a great way to use up leftovers - little bits of meat, veggies, etc. but I used to use olive oil to saute the veggies in (and make sure the frittata didn't stick). Well, they didn't stick BUT were very greasy and rubbery. Thank God for Pam spray as now I can do all of this but without the rubber and grease (although almost anything can be added to a frittata, these are two things that I don't want to have!). It works beautifully!
I use it most with my Pumpkin bread!
I use pam for sauting veggies on the stovetop, for baking many items. Most recent was puff pastry for Strawberry napoleans. I'd never made any puff pastries before and I lightly sprayed the cookie sheet with pam and the pastires came out beautifully!
I make a lemon bread that uses grated lemon peel in the batter and freshly squeezed lemon juice combined with sugar and heated, poured over the warm loaf to absorb it. I always use Pam in my loaf pan with great results!
PAM works!!! I stock up on it at Costco when they have coupons 🙂
I have PAM as I had tried a no name version and half the time it wouldn't spray out properly. I recently baked Carrot/Cranberry muffins and they came out perfect.
I use PAM to keep my bread from sticking to my stoneware loaf pans! Works every time! 🙂
Baking fish cakes. They stick to everything! 🙂
I use Pam to make baked macaroni and cheese!

I use PAM mostly for cooking, usually pancakes and eggs. One thing I like best about PAM is the spray can. The nozzles of discount brands usually clog up and/or pop off.
Also, I'd love to win the sweepstakes. Thanks!!
I use sprays for a lot of baked dishes and cookies, muffin tops and muffins. I use butter for bread though. I've wanted to try one of those misting bottles. I'm in the mood for some homemade brownies or some banana cinnamon muffins 🙂
we like to cook veggie omlettes

When I make cupcakes for the school, I use cupcake liners and spray them with Pam so that the kids don't loose the cupcake. I get to use all the cute holiday cupcake liners. I get my Pam at COSTCO when they have the coupon so it's extra economical. I use Pam for all my quick breads, biscuits and cakes.
Baking a cake!

I came across this post while searching your archives for a dinner roll recipe. I am on a mission to cut as much unnecessary cost out as possible. We usually don't eat bread with means because I just won't buy it. Lately I've been venturing into baking breads and am eager to try these dinner rolls! I have a few questions, have you ever frozen the dough? I freeze my pie crusts as dough but my bread after I make it. I'm wondering your take on the whole freezing dough dilemma? Thanks so much. Love the blog!!
Freezing yeast dough can be a bit tricky, so I usually opt to freeze the finished rolls.
However, you can freeze these by letting the dough rise, shaping the rolls as usual, and then popping them into the freezer (on greased baking sheets). Once they're frozen solid, you can put them in an airtight bag.
When you're ready to eat them, just place them on a greased baking sheet, cover them, and let them thaw/rise until they're doubled in size. Then bake as usual. It will take a while for them to thaw and rise, so give yourself plenty of time!
Thanks for the help. I just finished baking bread rolls in my muffin pans and it is the worst time ever for sticking . I have triedd pam before, BUT maybe didn't put enough on the pan. Also, I have not seen the am with the 70% on the container so I don't know if we can get this in Canada. I use the Pam with Canola oil.
I shall try again and next time, I won't be washing the pans. If the rolls stick as they have been doing, then the pans are going in the garbage.
