I was so unhappy to find a gunky film around the upper edge of my beautiful anniversary bundt pan after using pan spray. So I did some research and found Alton Brown's Kustom Kitchen Lube, which is 2 cups Crisco + 1 1/2 cups AP flour beaten until fluffy with a mixer. Store it in an airtight container on a pantry shelf, not in the fridge. It stays soft and brushes on easily -- I use a small nylon bristle pastry brush. And best of all nothing sticks! My husband's favorite pumpkin cake slides right out of the bundt pan after a 10 minute cool down! I use it for all my baked goods -- in bread and muffin and brownie and cake pans. They clean up easily, no gunky residue!
