Do you hate washing cupcake pans?

I use silicone cupcake molds that work great you can put them on a cookie sheet or in a cupcake pan. Cleaning the silicone cups is alot easier than cleaning the cupcake pan. I have a bunch of these silicone cups in heart and round shapes. You don't use butter or flour.

Wow, pretty and cooks too. I have heard from my friends that the new silicone bakeware is really easy to use, nothing sticks to it - like cupcakes - they just fall out. I do not eat cupcakes or really bake any more, but I used to bake muffins all the time. I found greasing the pans was sufficient at the time. If I started again I would either use the non stick or try out those silicone bakeware ones. I plan on learning how to bake bread. I have already got the loaf tins and I was sure to get non stick bakewear. I hate washing things that have stuff hard to get off the tins. Why cannot you wash then in the dishwasher if you have one, although I would soak them first just to make sure the stuff comes off.

The only solution I was able to make in making cleaning cupcake pans easier was to buy the newer silicone type muffin pans. Plus I have one that is teflon coated so it makes washing easier.

Hi mermaid...I totally agree with you. That's why lately I don't just use the cupcake pans but also the cupcake wrappers - for some reason I can't think of the name of them. It truly cuts down on the cleaning time when I use them.

I have never had problems with the cupcakes. I grease the cupcakes (even if they are teflon) and then put flour or a coarser flour (like the one used to make cornbread). I preheat the oven on medium. I never follow a recipe direction there: I always heat it less than it says. When they are done and still hot, you turn them over. They will come out immediatly. Then, while the iron is still hot, you pour warm water there and pass a sponge. End of problem!!!

Other baking pans might seem tedious, but cupcake pans are one of the most cleanest as I use papercups to line the pans before I bake. Cupcakes should be baked in paper cups for easier consumptions and keeping. Try it so that you dont have to dirty your pan. I like that you are baking cup cakes as cup cakes are my favourite! :)

I don't usually have too much problem because I always use those cupcake liners. They make a huge difference with the clean-up. For the rest of the pan, I immediately submerge them in some COLD soap water. I've heard that the cold stops the cooking process so the spatters don't get even more cooked on. Seems to work OK for me.

I hate to wash cupcake pans, too, even though I use grease and flour. They're not hard to wash when you do that, but it's tedious anyway, washing one after another. I don't make muffins or cupcakes very often and that's why.

hi, like the otehrs who replied--I also usually use paper cups to line the baking pans-it also helps though that I use non-stick baking pans, which is such a boon! Sometimes I just wipe them off, and personally worth the investment since it's pretty much hassle free when it comes to cleaning them

I have not made cup cakes for a long time but we put those little paper things (dont remember what they are called) in the pan and pour the batter in to them, that way it made clean up very easy.

hi, mermaidivy i think u can adjust ur mood and then wont hate it so much as now. u can consider it as an exercise, how abt? u can play some musics when washing, how abt again?

when it comes to baking, i hate it when its dishwashing time, my mother used to bake and after that, i have to do the cleaning. its difficult, coz some of the cake stick to the pan and i have to scotch it and its hard to clean it. i soak it with soap and water, il wash them the next day. it makes me irritated.

If you don't want to use paper cups then there are 2 things. one, grease and flour the pans before filling or 2 buy a baby bottle cleaner not the bristle one but the one that has a spongy thing on top of it. Fits well into the cups for cleaning. good luck

Hello, sorry you are having so much trouble with your cupcake pans I usually use the little paper cups that wraps around them. Then, as long as you don't drip the batter, your pans come out without a spec. Another trick that I use all the time is to wrap your pans (any kind) with aluminum foil. I find this very helpful. I don't have alot of time and hate to wash dishes. If you wrap your pan all the way all you have to do is take it off and throw it away...absolutely no washing needed.(unless you tear the foil) Which happens. I've never tried it in muffin pans but I would assume it would work well. You can mold the foil into the cups. They also have pre-molded cupcake wraps that are foil and you don't need the cupcake pan at all. Just fill the wraps and place them on a cookie sheet. There are lots of options out there without having to wear your arm off scrubbing things. Oh...one thing that helps with stuck on food....soak it in water with a dryer sheet. I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but it really does work. Good luck

It doesnt bug me however i have the silicon cupcake pans that are mushy and you just turn them inside out and wipe them. Very easy to clean and they are dishwasher safe too.

The foil idea is not very Green! But wow what did they do in the lod days before the foil and paper were even invented? We used to grease the pans and dust them with flour! What a great concept and best of all it works! But in todays hurry, hurry, world that probably takes to much TIME! LOL! Sounds like your baking them with to much heat, to long, or using the wrong rack in your oven? I have no problem with this, and I love biscuits and muffins! Commonly called cupcakes! tdemex
