I'm looking for a way to re-coat a non-stick/teflon type coating on my
breadmaker pan that looks very similar to the one in the picture
below.
http://www.appliances.com/ProductImages/XBR66ADA12A107lar.jpg
Is there a spray, paint or other method that will cover areas in the
pan which have worn away from scrubbing with abbrasives and causing
the bread to stick to the pan?
Thank you,
Darren

Hello!

Unfortunatly Monroe22-ga is correct, you really can not replace a non
stick surface. This leaves you with a few options... You can expire
your question, or cancel your question.
You could also modify your question. I know that there are a number of
pans with warrenties againt peeling, and some alternatives that
require less scrubbing than a normal pan. Maybe asking someone to find
those would help instead?
You can also do nothing and see if something else comes up before the
expiration date. I just wanted to let you know your options here so
that we can get your question closed and taken care of for you...

darrenaustralia-ga: It is not possible to re-apply a non-stick coating
at home. It must be done under factory conditions. (I have 45 years
experience in the industrial coating field). However, it is easy to
apply a lecithin based aerosol product to a breadmaker pan, which
helps release baked material. This is readily available in the US as
PAM, mfd. by International Home Foods, Inc. If you live in Australia,
as your ga handle suggests, I wouldn't know if it is available there.

Actually there is a spray which goes on the pan and is then baked in an oven.
I've seen this several places, mostly in catalogs such as Harriet Carter.
That's the good news.

now for the bad news which is why I'm not going to charge you for this
information...
The sprays don't work - save your monty, I've tested them.

I recommend that you withdraw this question.

Thank you all for endeavouring to help me. I will follow up your leads
as best I can with what's available in Australia but perhaps a new
bucket is in order.
Thank you monroe22 siliconsamurai and nenna for passing on your
knowledge, much appreciated.
Cheers,
Darren
