Do you hate the way cupcakes/muffins stick to the paper liners and pieces
of muffin stay on the paper?

This has probably occurred to everyone but me, but I just tried spraying
pan release on the inside of the paper liner before spooning in the batter.
Works a treat! Paper peels off without a loose crumb.

If you're going to go to that much trouble why not just toss the paper
cups and spray the muffin pan?

The muffins stay fresher longer and the liner makes them sturdier for
carrying. I don't use them at all if they're going to be consumed
immediately at the table.

Personally, I don't use papers. I oil and flour the tin itself - once
baked, I quickly run a knife around and pop them out while still warm.
(run the knife witth the blunt edge first if using no-stick tins.

Muffin papers are a waste.

Lately, I've been using silicone muffin bakers. Looks like a normal
muffin tin but it's flexible. Muffins pop right out. They don't brown
on the sides like metal causes, but they're baked, so I don't really
miss it. Of course, the sides don't brown all that much in paper cups,
either.

I've seen those silicone pans at the local restaurant supply store. You
just convinced me not to buy them. Browning is important to the taste
of many baked goods, especially breads.

Sounds simple enough. I don't make muffins that often, but I have also found
the foil liners are much better.

Several people do or are you megalomaniac enough so you assume because
you don't get it, no one else will? "Nobody?" In a pig's eye.

Paper liners are not necessary. That paper comes from trees. Wasting
paper needlessly is like cutting down trees. Perhaps someone "hates"
trees so they want to cut them down no matter the silliness of what it
is used for.

Or something or the other along that line.

I once convinced a friend to let me make cupcakes for her kid's class.
She had eight gazillion things to do and needed cupcakes on top of
that. Well, I don't bake, and therefore did not have a bunch of
muffin tins to make some 30 cupcakes, so I bought the metal ones and
baked them without a tin, just a bunch of foil muffin liners on a
baking sheet. Worked out fine.

So my friend tells her mother, wow! nancy made cupcakes in these new
foil muffin liners! (laugh) Her mother was like ... they've been
around forever. Oh.

In the US *all* paper products are made from trees specifically farmed for that
use... cutting trees for making paper is no different from harvesting wheat for
making bread.

I understood. He meant use of muffin cup liners which is in turn a waste
of natural resources (trees) for the sake of muffin cup liners,
especially since he was going to grease the cups anyway.

Those pleated paper cups are for baking cupcakes, not muffins... muffins baked
in those papers are ruined exactly same as would be a loaf of bread baked in a
paper liner... NO CRUST... anyone who'd enjoy a muffin baked in paper would
enjoy a boiled porterhouse.

I understood his point as well. However, my reasons for using the
liners are valid to me; e.g., portability, longer freshness, etc. What
I didn't like was the way that the muffin sticks to the paper. I don't
mind bare muffins if they're going directly to the table and will be
eaten in a short period of time. Longer than that or eaten in another
place (say, taken to work), I much prefer that they be in liners.
Others have wasted far more trees for more foolish reasons than I ever
will.
