6. FAQ on Bakeware :
Q: Do you oil non-stick bakeware?
A: Non-stick bakeware comes with a coating that prevents baked goods from sticking. However, as an extra insurance, it is always wise to grease the pan (albeit little) so that there will be no sticking, whatsoever.
Q: What if the non-stick coating is peeling off or chipping?
A: If the non-stick coating is damaged, the coating may chip off further and leach into your food when you serve from it and food might start to stick in that area. Therefore, it is better to replace the pan.
Q: Should you preheat the oven before baking?
A: Yes. This is generally the first step. During the preheating phase, the heating elements in an oven are working hard to heat it up, therefore, are radiating a lot of heat. Therefore, you should preheat to avoid exposing your food from the blast of heat from the heating elements.
