Alton Brown - Kustom Kitchen Lube

"No, it's not for squeaky door hinges. Keep a batch in your pantry to *coat baking pans* and prevent baked goods from sticking. It's so much faster and more convenient than the greasing and flouring business. I use a paper towel to smear it on liberally and haven't had a cake or muffin stick yet. That Alton is one smart man!"

directions

  • Toss both ingredients in a stand mixer and take them for a ride on low speed until the shortening sucks up the flour.
  • Then hike up the speed to medium to aerate it a bit - just 30 seconds or so.
  • Store in the pantry in a resealable container and use to lube any type of baking pan by brushing on or smearing around with a clean paper towel.

  1. I made it with Tenderflake (that's what I had) and all purpose flour. I put it in a pyrex square pan to bake a cake and the cake didn't stick to the pan. Thanks SusieQusie :) Made for bargain basement tag game
     
  2. Alton Brown is my hero too. But try Kittencal's pan release #78579. It REALLY works, even in fancy fluted pans. I've never had anything stick with that!...Janet
     
  3. I tagged this in Please Review bcz I love Alton Brown. I tried this with Spectrum's Organic Shortening and whole wheat flour. Not sure if using the whole wheat changed it, but I didn't see a big difference between that and just spraying with cooking spray. I made muffins and one actually stuck. Would love to see someone else review it who used all-purpose flour.

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste &amp; appearance; directions were clear &amp; easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
