    how do I stop it from sticking?

    Ok so I have a problem with portion control and if I make anything that is a quiche/zuchini slice type concotion that I tend to eat all of it so I thought I would solve that by putting it into a muffin tin. Sounds good in theory but it stuck

    What went wrong? any ideas? I did use a non-stick pan, I didn't grease it in anyway (I thought you didn't have too? )

    please help!!

    How about patty cake pans oh what are they called? You know...those paper things. I use silicon ones for all my muffins.

    That does sound like a great idea in theory. Maybe because it baked on? Maybe next time grease with some butter? Or use those aformentioned paper/silicone things.

    I get ya on eating all of it!

    I second Nelle, try patty pans. I know muffin trays are non-stick but mine stick too, so try greasing it.

    Grease, and then if you don't want to use an entire patty case, cut circles out of baking parchment and stick in the bottom and then once cooled you can run a plastic knife delicately around the outside not to scratch the tin and they'll come out of the bottom perfectly. Always make sure you leave things to cool in the tin. Hot breads/muffins/cakes are more delicate than when cooled as they form a crust and come away easily.

    Yup, I always grease my non-stick muffin trays too. For quiches I'd just use spray as well. (That's all I use for savoury muffins.) For sweet stuff I usually use butter and a little flour.

    I use the conola spray now. Was using butter, but I kept missing bits!

    I usually grease and flour the tin.

    Then take the amount you want, wrap the others up and stick the rest straight in the freezer lol. That's how I stop myself from eating the lot.
