A couple of weeks ago I received this lovely PAM® Cooking Spray in the mail. I was eager to try it and see if it really was better than the generic brand I have been buying for years.
If you follow this blog regularly, you may have noticed my favorite generic brand hanging out in a lot of my tutorial pictures. I buy it because it’s cheap, and I go through it like crazy with all of the cooking and baking that I do. Spending the extra money to buy the name brand PAM Cooking Spray always seemed luxurious and unneeded.
Until I tried the spray.
It’s better. A LOT better than the generic brand I am used to. PAM Cooking Spray has recently been improved and is said to now be 70% better than the generic brand.
It is, my friends.
I have been using PAM Spray for all of my cooking needs this past week and I am seriously amazed at how much better it works. My scrambled eggs don’t fasten themselves to the pan with a vengeance. Cookies slide off the pan with ease.
I baked a batch of French Bread too long, and it left a crispy mess all over my pans. Once I got the dirty caked-on pans in the sink I grabbed my pick ax (ok, it was really just my scrub brush) and readied myself to get rid of the mess. Much to my surprise, the mess came off of the pan with ease and took much less time to clean than usual. Which freed up my schedule so I could bury my pick ax in the back yard.
Why use a pick ax when you can use PAM Cooking Spray, right?
Besides making clean up much easier, PAM Cooking Spray comes with a great nozzle that sprays evenly and well. I have been frustrated in the past with my generic spray nozzle backing up and then breaking off before I had used the entire can.
Why I didn’t try PAM Cooking Spray before now is a mystery. 🙂
Another recipe I made this week using PAM Cooking Spray was Stuffed Jumbo Shells. I have experienced treacherous clean up with this recipe in the past and was eager to see how PAM would handle this circumstance. I sprayed the pan well, assembled the ingredients, let it bake, and then we enjoyed this yummy recipe for dinner. It tasted great and the clean up was seriously a breeze.
No pick ax necessary.
Which is lucky since I buried the thing in the back yard.
PAM Cooking Spray, ladies and gentlemen.
I highly recommend it.

I use Pam when I bake cookies, cakes, or almost anything in the oven. I even spray it on my hands when I'm making artisan bread or spreading rice krispie treats in the pan.
I use pam when I make lasagna.

Use PAM all of the time, especially with biscuits and frozen pizzas, slide right off!
Thanks!!
I used PAM last night for my oven baked egg rolls!! My husband always jokes and asks if my mom's helping with dinner (her name is Pam)
I use PAM for pretty much everything I bake, but my favorite is with Crispy Chicken Wontons. Instead of frying, you cover the baking sheet and then the wontons with PAM.
I make chicken taquitos and spay the tops with Pam, then sprinkle a little kosher salt before baking – out of this world with no added fat!
My house runs on PAM! I made a blueberry snack cake last night – used some Pam to keep it from sticking to the pan and it came out great! thank you!
I use PAM a lot!! But for cakes that you really want out of the pan in one piece you can't beat PAM. I also like to spray it on air popped pop corn and sprinkle on a little butter flavor or ranch powder for a healthy snack.
We use it with everything, but it's a real lifesaver when I am making Sock it to Me Cake. It's a delicious cake but sticky as ever! PAM baking spray or PAM original help it to slide right out of the pan, unbroken!
I use PAM for everything. My mom used it so I was taught that way! I also have an aunt named Pam. When we were little we thought it was so funny to say “get the Pam” when we were cooking something!
