Is there an easy way to flour a tube pan?
I'm making pound cake in a 10" tube pan. I use Pam to grease the pan, but find it tricky to grease the tube part. Are there any tricks of the trade? I'm tempted to invert the tube into my bucket of flour.

For your current predicament though, scooping some flour in and tapping the thing as you rotate it around (preferably over your flour container, to catch the fallout) is as good as I've ever been able to do.
I will note that I've found there to be an amount of flour past which it actually becomes less effective. If I put in as much as a quarter cup at a time, it seems to clump up/not stick to the pan as well. Instead I'll do a couple of tablespoons at a time, and perhaps have to do that 2 or three times for good coverage.
It's slow and painstaking, and maybe someone else has a better solution, but not being great at this is why I've become such a fan of those sprays.
