felix_likethecat Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm having trouble with eggs sticking when I make Egg Muffins (scrambled eggs with veggie filling in a muffin tin). These are easy to make and a quick go-to snack. I'm not afraid of using a lot of fat. I have tried ghee, coconut oil and olive oil in various amounts. I've poured fat in the muffin tin, spread it around but the eggs still stick. Last night I tried ramekins instead of the muffin tin and they still stick. I have also tried cupcake liners both foil and paper. I have not found a cooking spray that is Whole30 compliant (they contain soy). Pre-Whole30, cooking spray worked great! Do you have any tips? Do you know of a compliant cooking spray? Thanks! --- Whole30 #2, Day #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheywhohaa Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Have you tried lining the cups with prosciutto? Seems to do the trick. Or failing that, maybe set the muffin tin into a roasting tray and fill the tray with boiling water. Hope you find a solution. Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 How about the slicone cupcake cases? like these - quite robust so you could leave them in the cases for transport. http://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Craft-Colourworks-Silicone-Cupcake/dp/B003SZNVFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about a water bath and will do that next time. I picked up some If You Care large baking cups today. They claim the greaseproof, unbleached, chlorine-free paper cups need "no greasing necessary." I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meeveebee Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 You can buy an vapouriser bottle for oil. Just put your oil into it & spray it onto what ever you need. Weight watchers sell them but I'm sure you can find them on Amazon. Oil Sprayers I think they are called http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=678513011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarabeth5 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I use and swear by the silicone cupcake tin liners. You don't need to grease them at all and the egg muffins (or regular muffins for that matter) literally just fall out of them. They are amazing!!!

jent103 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Another fan of the silicone muffin tins! Also if you live near a Trader Joe's, I noticed that they have coconut oil spray now (the front of the label indicated that it was 100% coconut oil, but I didn't look at the ingredients, so buyer beware!). I've never used it, so can't give a personal review, but maybe that would help more than the greasing technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLC1968 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Another vote for the silicone cupcake cups. I actually use mine free-standing on a cookie sheet so that I can get way more than 12 in one baking. I've never had ANYTHING stick to them!

The cups are sturdy enough that you don't need to use a muffin tin. If you don't have the silicone cups, spread some ghee in the muffin tin "cups".

fitisthenublack Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Trader Joe's has a coconut oil spray that works perfectly! But personally, I'd go with the prosciutto idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelli Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi! Bummer on the eggs. Never fear a W30 compliant cooking spray does exist! http://www.kelapo.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=34 I got mine at Whole Foods You can also use those little cupcake papers, they might still stick to the paper but that is way easier to deal with than a muffin pan. I am an egg lover, so here's to more tasty crackin' in your future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
