Flip Pans to Avoid Puddles

I picked up this tip on one of those rare occasions that I watched Martha Stewart and I have been doing it ever since: If you are using a non-stick cooking spray or oil, turn your pan upside-down on a towel for a few seconds before you put in your batter. This keeps the spray from puddling in the bottom of the pan and protects your baked goody from getting mushy.
