Evelyn, some bakers think that quick bread rising in a fairly deep pan, like a loaf pan, does better if the walls aren't slippery; the rising batter gets a better grip, yet not such a firm grip that you can't get it out of the pan afterwards. Personally, I always grease the entire inside of the pan, and I've never seemed to have any issues with doing so. Hope this helps — PJH@KAF
