    Help!  We just baked a cake with a non-stick pan...we did grease it lightly with crisco.  WHen we took it out, there was beaded oil in the pan, and the bottom 1/2 inch of the cake was greasy/soggy.

    Was this because we left it in the pan too long?  Or because we greased it?

    Maybe try coating the pan with flour after you spray it with the crisco next time.

    Hmm, yea we could try that.  "Next time" is actually in about 10 minutes!  We need to get this baked tonight!  It is for my sister's shower in the morning!!

    My guess would be that you didn't bake it long enough.

    Yikes, you don't need to grease a nonstick pan with Crisco, that's why it's nonstick!

    Also, nonstick pans have different heating/time requirements than regular pans do.  I think you have to bake LONGER with a nonstick pan as opposed to a regular pan.  They conduct heat differently.  Don't take the cake out of the oven until you can pull a toothpick out cleanly (I use a butterknife, same concept).  That will tell you when it's done.  Try adding five minutes to the bake time, then check with a tootchpick every 3 minutes until done.

    Agree with everything MightySapphire said :)

    Even if the directions call for a greased pan, I won't touch it with anything if it's nonstick.
