Note, they will try to sell you the books in PDF above that Brown Bag has on their site for free.

Also, in that photo of them putting oil on the mold? Way.too.much oil. That's how I use to do it, put it on and wipe with a paper towel. Cookie dough stuck like nobody's business. This time I put on so little oil you couldn't really even see it. Then I wiped with a paper towel that soaked nothing up because the mold already has so little oil on it. Somehow before even if I cleaned them, wiped them, whatever...if I got too much oil at first: game over.
