Alton Brown Kustom Kitchen Lube

---

No, it's not for squeaky door hinges. keep a batch in your pantry to *coat baking pans* and prevent baked goods from sticking. it's so much faster and more convenient than the greasing and flouring business. i use a paper towel to smear it on liberally and haven't had a cake or muffin stick yet. that alton is one smart man!!

Steps

---

Toss both ingredients in a stand mixer and take them for a ride on low speed until the shortening sucks up the flour.

---

Then hike up the speed to medium to aerate it a bit - just 30 seconds or so.

---

Store in the pantry in a resealable container and use to lube any type of baking pan by brushing on or smearing around with a clean paper towel.
