The heat of the oven and steam should have helped loosen stuck-on bits, so they should come off easily. To remove any baked-on residue on the top of the pan, grab a sturdy pan scraper. Combined with hot, soapy water, it will quickly remove even burnt-on bits. Rinse the pan thoroughly, then dry.
How do you keep cupcake liners from folding in?

Do you spray parchment paper?
Nope! Parchment paper is already non-stick, so there’s generally no need to grease your parchment paper. And if you’re baking cookies, greasing the parchment paper will likely cause your cookies to overspread and become greasy, so definitely skip the grease.
