I went from using some baking spray from Williams Sonoma (which had flour in it) to making the pan-ease in the WBH book. I ran out of both this past week and just used PAM on a cake and it came out of the pan easier. Any reason not to just use cooking spray? |

I use cooking spray all the time. I usually go for the store brand "Pam". I think some bakers make their own pan release because it is cheaper to make. Since I do about 5 cakes per week, I'll just keep using spray. |

The recipe is simple and making your own pan release is easy.
Equal parts Crisco, flour and vegetable oil, however much you need. I only mix 1/4 cup each at a time since I don't bake very often.
Keeps well without refrigerating for a long time. |

I have always used just regular Pam. I think it works just fine. |

They sell Pam made with flour in the spray that is what I use and have never had a problem. |

sometimes I use just plain butter if I don't have anything else. It works for me. |

I use pam with flour too. I think it covers the pan better than straight pam. |

I use Crisco with flour spray or Baker's Joy - or Pam with flour - which ever is on sale!  |

Whenever I used Pam, the sides of the cake came out almost "fried" ... a little crispy ... and had large air holes on the sides.
If it works for you ok, go for it! |

Okay, so call me crazy, but this is what I found this weekend. It seemed like the bottom of the cake did get air holes and was a lot softer (almost wetter) with PAM. Sigh, guess I'll buck up and make some more pan ease 
Thanks everyone! |

Same thing happens to me - the sides get very hard and dark w/ Pam. |
