If you mean to grease the pan I use pam spray or wilton release crumb spray

I use either a spray or the cupcake liners, just to be on the safe side. If you want to see more comments, this is exactly the same as the 24-cup pan, just half as many cups. Wilton Recipe Right 24 Cup Mini Muffin Pan

Hey Ron, I have exposed heating elements and this melted similar to my experience with aluminum foil liners catching on fire. My best experience so far with oven liners is using cookie tins that are large enough to cover the majority of the bottom of the oven.

I would recommend used a spoon or spatula for just dry ingredients. This is great for dry and liquid put together. Pancake mix, dough, cake mix, etc.

I line the bottom with some aluminum foil then just add anything. I use it more than anything else, best investment.

I have used these twice and they came out great! No need for a cookie sheet underneath. I used regular cupcake liners. Hope that helps!

I am new to roasting pans and baking liners. I was searching online to find out more about the melting liner issue, to see if can be avoided, when I discovered this how-to video to properly use the liners, and what to do if they do melt. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnW4UiCsPQs

I have never baked a cake and used these as a liner. If your looking to remove the cake from a pan, go ahead, just be careful not to cut into the liner when you cut the cake away from the sides of the pan. Otherwise I would use the can spray. I have baked cookies on the liners, in both the oven and my toaster oven (the green one fits in my toaster oven) . In the toaster oven I don't use a cookie sheet and I have no leaky mess to pick up. Garlic bread on a liner, no mess to clean up in the oven. My silicone liners have been great. So glad I bought them.

Hello...my wife is the baker not me. She says it's thicker than the store bought icing but not so thick that it's unworkable. It takes pretty easily to cupcakes. I'd recommend this product and would use it again.

It is more for mixing with piping gel or dusting on fondant o gum paste. I guess you could sprinkle it on buttercream but looks terrible mixed in. Try the Disco Dust, better sparkle.

Myself, I pre-coat my cakes with a very thin layer of buttercream, icing, called crumb coating. Then chill the cake again before applying the MMF. This makes for a cleaner, and easier, install. Also, it's a bit easier to reposition the MMF if needed.

I use the smaller one in the regular size cupcakes. I haven't used the larger one yet. It would make a pretty big hole.

Honestly I used boxed cake mix for my daughters party. I followed the directions that came with the pan on the amount of time to leave it in. (I don't recall what it says I don't have the paper in front of me at moment) It worked perfectly. The only other thing I did was to spin the pan around halfway through to get it all even heat. also an extra tip I found the easiest way to level the bottoms of the cakes was to fill the pans slightly more that it suggests then when they are cooked and cooled I used a large serrated knife and evened them all out. Hope this helped. Have fun!

I agree 2 should be enough 3 to be safe. Use a brush and dip heavy and then flick a few times back into canister and then on cupcake.

I suppose it depends in what you bake. I only make cheesecakes in these and line the bottom with parchment paper for transferring later. Some butter does melt out from the crust, but I always have a tray underneath for a water bath so it doesn't get everywhere in the oven. The foil is a great idea as well if you are worried.

I put my batter in right away. Is cake batter that much thicker than cupcake? I didn't know there was that much difference....maybe I'm not enough of a cook to ask :)

No liners! It's silicone so it doesn't stick and it's flexible to maneuver the cupcake out.
