Non stick cooking spray the bane of my existence.
I use parchment paper when I bake. I love the stuff.

When my Dh makes his rum cake he uses the baking spray. It leaves a sticky mess on the pans that I'm having a hard time cleaning up
Do you have any suggestions on how I can clean the pans.

I've cleaned it off my baking sheets with oven cleaner that works in cold ovens. Although if it's baked on very thick, I still have trouble with it. My silicon pans have been helped by a very hot bath in dish detergent and scratching with my nail, but they don't get completely clean. I find that the can of spray at the Dollar Tree that doesn't contain silicon and is made in the USA doesn't leave as much crud as Pam which has the silicon (not sure where it's made).

We have one of those Mist-o olive oil sprayers. We haven't had any trouble cleaning up after it. I also have a couple of cans of some generic spray that I picked up at Ollies Bargain Outlet. That works great, too!

I have a refillable mister that I can put oil in to use instead of Pam Cooking Spray, but the bread still sticks to the pans like crazy! I have to oil mist them AND flour them and then I'm still crossing my fingers the bread will co-operate. Does Pam Cooking Sprayknow something I don't? LOL

I was just going to say dimethyl silicone but I did a little research and found out:

Lechithin - not bad for you unless you can't have soy. I put it in smoothies to make them creamy and its supposed to be good for weight loss. It is the cause of the brown funk after using cooking spray

Dimethyl silicone - didn't really find a report on how it effects humans. One report on several substances toxicity says no info available. It is used in many industrial lubrication applications. Used for anti-foaming.

Propellant - no info because no one knows what is used.

Use corn meal instead of flour and see if that helps. I use it when cooking bread on my pizza stone. Flour tends to burn.
