I've learned to always grease my cast-iron skillet before I fry an egg. I used to do this with a spray can of knock-off Pam, back before I was married and was sharing the grocery bill with others. I can't justify that purchase anymore, and the recyclability of aerosol cans is dubious. For a while I tried greasing pans with the stub of a stick of butter. It didn't work very well. What does work well is to save the intact wrapper when I use butter. I wipe it all around the pan, and it does a great, quick job! You'd be amazed how many times you can use one--a lot of greasy is retained on that wrapper! I fold them in half, greasy side in, and keep them in the fridge door. It feels like something that has surely been published in the "Cheapskate Monthly," but it works!

While it's still aerosol, I like Baker's Joy for most things. I find there is less residue than with Pam. I have had good luck with store brand Pam, too.
