What happens if I don't Grease the pan?

You find yourself in a rush or simply so excited to bake a cake that you forget to grease the baking pan prior to pouring batter into it. When this happens, or if the pan is unevenly greased, you may have problems releasing your cake from the pan.

Should I grease the pan for brownies?

Baking in a too-small pan may result in brownies with undercooked centers. Be sure to select a light-colored, shiny pan, which will conduct heat evenly. Glass or dark-colored pans can cause the edges to overbake or even burn. Always grease the pan thoroughly with shortening, softened butter, or cooking spray.

What do you do if your cake sticks to the pan?

If a cake sticks a bit to the sides of the pan, you can run a knife or spatula around the edges to loosen it. But, if the cake sticks to the bottom there's not much you can do. Roll out a sheet of parchment paper that's large enough to trace enough circles for the size and number of cake pans you'll be baking with.
