oil, butter or cooking spray. If desired, you may use oil or butter. However, aerosol
cooking spray should never be used; chemicals that allow spray to come out of can

to cook without squeezing them at or sliding the bread. Simply allow the hinge to
adjust automatically as you close the lid and it will rest on the top of the food.
