Silly Little Tip

liners and pieces of muffin stay on the paper?

This has probably occurred to everyone but me, but I just
tried spraying pan release on the inside of the paper
liner before spooning in the batter. Works a treat! Paper
peels off without a loose crumb.

If you're going to go to that much trouble why not just toss
the paper cups and spray the muffin pan?

The muffins stay fresher longer and the liner makes them
sturdier for carrying. I don't use them at all if they're
going to be consumed immediately at the table.

Personally, I don't use papers. I oil and flour the tin
itself - once baked, I quickly run a knife around and pop
them out while still warm. (run the knife witth the blunt
edge first if using no-stick tins.

Muffin papers are a waste.

Lately, I've been using silicone muffin bakers. Looks like a
normal muffin tin but it's flexible. Muffins pop right out.
They don't brown on the sides like metal causes, but they're
baked, so I don't really miss it. Of course, the sides don't
brown all that much in paper cups, either.

I've seen those silicone pans at the local restaurant
supply store. You just convinced me not to buy them.

Sounds simple enough. I don't make muffins that often, but I
have also found the foil liners are much better.

I once convinced a friend to let me make cupcakes for her
kid's class. She had eight gazillion things to do and needed
cupcakes on top of that. Well, I don't bake, and therefore
did not have a bunch of muffin tins to make some 30
cupcakes, so I bought the metal ones and baked them without
a tin, just a bunch of foil muffin liners on a baking sheet.
Worked out fine.

So my friend tells her mother, wow! nancy made cupcakes in
these new foil muffin liners! (laugh) Her mother was like
... they've been around forever. Oh.

And then of course while warm you put a slab of butter on
'em and eat them 😉

I understood. He meant use of muffin cup liners which is
in turn a waste of natural resources (trees) for the sake
of muffin cup liners, especially since he was going to
grease the cups anyway. Goomba

I understood his point as well. However, my reasons for
using the liners are valid to me; e.g., portability, longer
freshness, etc. What I didn't like was the way that the
muffin sticks to the paper. I don't mind bare muffins if
they're going directly to the table and will be eaten in a
short period of time. Longer than that or eaten in another
place (say, taken to work), I much prefer that they be in
liners. Others have wasted far more trees for more foolish
reasons than I ever will.

They are most certainly NOT!!! a waste if you're planning
to put them in school lunches, carry them somewhere, or
freeze them.

Additionally, they stop fruit muffins from sticking to the
pan. Flour and oil don't.

Is that Llorente bakeware, by any chance?

Several people do or are you megalomaniac enough so you

"Nobody?" In a pig's eye.

You're completely off base.

I think it's time you update that decrepit old

www.mozilla.org - the best reader in the biz...

~john

ps - download Mozilla 1.6 - newsread is included with the
browser

Mozilla is an excellent and small (yahoo!) browser, but it
doesn't have the best newsreader around, which is why I use
Mozilla as a stand alone browser, not as integrated,
software... IMO: Agent is the BEST newsreader.

I thought foil "liners" (which I am only aware of as foil
lined with paper) were meant to be used when you don't have
a muffin/cupcake pan.

Never used Agent... but what do you mean by "Yahoo!"
browser?

And small? Mozilla is a HUGE resource hog...
