Nope. I had stopped using a bundt pan because they notoriously would
stick.

So I bought a non stick pan which although non-stick advised me to grease

and flour the pan but do NOT use a spray like Pam.


The methyl silicone that the PAM people don't tell you is in their
product and most all release sprays tends to bond with teflon.

(It's an FDA loophole - they use it to lubricate the machine that
assembles the machines. They're sloppy with it, but the resulting amount in
the can is below the 'trace residue' level, so they don't have to list it
as an ingredient. Most other brands list methyl silicone or dimethyl
silicone as an ingredient. It's not poisonous.)

(A friend of mine designed the apple mashing machine they used at some
Motts apple sauce factories for some years. If you ever see 'cellulose
fiber' listed as an ingredient in applesauce, it's because my pal designed
the machine to be lubricated with fine sawdust - it's harmless and has less
effect on the end product than oil based lubricants.)
