I spray it on with Pam or some generic equivalent, toss in a tbsp or
so of flour, and turn the pan, while holding it over the sink, to get
the flour into the grooves. One less thing to wash. No need to tip
the oil jug at all.

Today I baked 6 loaves of bread ( 4 of Carol Field's cocodrillo and 2
rye from "Bread Alone"), put up 2 quarts of strawberry jam and made2
batches of chocolate chip cookies. The kitchen needs a good cleaning,
but I am happy. Anything that saves a step or the cleaning of an
implement here and there is always a godsend.
