    There is a good chance your pan will leak a little, especially if you’re cooking something with a relatively thin batter. Lining the pan with parchment paper will help minimize leaks. You can also wrap the base of the pan with foil or set it inside another pan or on a baking tray to prevent a mess.

    It depends on the recipe. Often, you can get away with leaving the sides ungreased or only greasing them lightly (e.g., with a little bit of cooking spray). You can also line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and leaks.
