Why did your muffins stick to the paper cases?

Answer 1

Because the batter is wet and the muffin cups are paper and porous. That's pretty much why anything sticks to anything. The smoother the surface, the less sticking.

I find that the heat also causes the muffins to stick both to the pan and to the muffin papers. If you let the muffins cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the pan and cool completely before removing them from the paper liners, they don't stick.

If I reheat a muffin in the microwave, I remove the paper liner first and then heat it. If I heat it and then remove the liner, a lot of the yummy muffin sticks to the paper liner.

I have heard some people say they spray nonstick cooking spray on their paper liners to keep the muffins from sticking to it, but I haven't tried that yet. I'm sure it would work.

Answer 2

Its the heat that causes the cupcakes to stick to the cupcake papers. Completely cool the cupcakes before trying to remove the cupcake papers. The cupcakes will stick to the cupcake papers if they are hot. If you are in a hurry to eat them hot out of the oven, try spraying the papers with a little nonstick cooking spray before adding the batter and baking. You could always forget about the cupcake papers and just spray the nonstick cooking spray directly onto the pan.

Note: You will have a little more cleanup when washing the pan.

Answer 3

They are either too moist or you didnt use oil when you baked them.

Answer 4

the cupcakes are made of a special paper. This works like greaseproof lining, there is a thin layer of a non-stick resin which means they peel off easily.

Answer 5

there is sugar and moisture in the muffin and they've been heated sooo do the calculations

Answer 6

well if you've greased them to much, the cupcake mix won't stick.

hope this helps

Answer 7

Even with nonstick pans they must still be greased and floured. If you did not do that then things will stick.

For muffins try using cupcake cups.
