I’m wondering if using shortening to grease the bread pans would be a good substitute when no cooking spray is available?
I use the Wilton non-stick bread pans for my loaves, and ran out of cooking spray when I was baking my last donation batch. I tried greasing the pans with a paper towel soaked in oil, and all four loaves got stuck to the pans. I managed to coax three loaves with a butter knife, but the last one ended up as a keeper (one of the sides ripped and left a big gash). I usually have shortening on hand for pie dough, and had used it for greasing bundt cake pans. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
