What am I doing wrong?

scmarini — Sun, 12 Oct 2014 02:38:07 GMT

Is there something I don't know about regarding the non-stick feature of the bakeware? I have baked a couple of different things i.e. a crustless quiche, a baked pasta dish, and tonight a banana bread that won't come out of the pan when I turn it over? Am I still supposed to spray or grease? Thanks!

Regardless of the sales pitch, you really need to use oil or nonstick spray; otherwise, your food will stick.

I use Pam baking spray in all my temptations or Pyrex/stoneware etc Even though during Tara's demos she says ""naturally non-stick"" if you look closely when she pops out those baked items you can clearly tell they've been greased/sprayed with something.

Just a thought: let the dish cool a bit, before you try to extract it, if you are not already. The racks work well to that end.

I also use Pam baking spray, but I use Lidia Bastianich bakeware...my TT cracked and/or broke.

I always butter/flour the pan, or use a spray, regardless of what the sales pitch is. I haven't had any issues.

Good advice! I do this but I also will butter/flour or use a spray as a few of the other posters have mentioned! Ceramics are naturally nonstick but I don't know of anything that eventually doesn't start to stick. I have bake pound cakes, muffins, etc. in my TT before & not have them stick but as a rule I will use something to help out. Never had a problem with my casserole dishes!

I'm new to TT and found all my TT sticks! I have a few pcs. As I read I will use bakeware spray.

disappointing that Tara claims TT comes out clean. yep maybe after the spray. love my new muffin pan.

I don't care what Tara says, I always use Bakers Joy.

Those demos on TV are rather misleading, as most everyone seems to need to butter, grease or spray before baking. If I have something that I absolutely need to turn out of the pan without damage or sticking, I still use a good quality nonstick metal pan and parchment paper. Best brand of metal non stick I have found is USA Pan, made in America.

A crustless quiche? Banana bread? Think about it. When the ingredients heat up, they will stick to anything…eggs and baked bananas. They probably tile roofs using a combination of those two things. It's not the dish, the pan, nor the rooftop for it sticking. Just put a bit of olive oil all over before pouring in the ingredients.

There is no special non-stick feature.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, either. The problem is that they preach this 'nonstick' thing about the products and that misleads a lot of people. It's not a nonstick surface at all, so I'd just do what the others do.

I don't use this line of products, but I would imagine that even with this stuff you could 'grease and flour' it or spray it with that stuff in the can, like anything else, and that would make a big difference.

I've had the same problem with sticking. Always use cooking spray now. Don't know why QVC doesn't call Tara on it. It's false advertising.
