I bought a non-stick Wilton pan at sur la table store. I melted crayons for about 10 minutes in the oven at 250 degrees. I rested them on my stove top for 10 minutes and then outside in the cold weather for maybe 10 minutes. Once the are cold, they slide right out. No need to spray the pan with anything. A lot of fun. I used a razor to get the paper off the crayons that still had some paper. The pan is fine. The wax washed right off. just to make sure i got rid of all the residue, I will run the pan through the dishwasher once and it will be as good as new.
