Clarification request(s) and response
Stephen Sadie (asker): 10:12am Jun 21, 2005: @all: how about "non-stick baking medium"? I like Frosty's answer, but miss the baking bit!
MandyT: 10:26am Jun 21, 2005: I'm not a native, but when I hear baking medium I think of baking sheets etc. What do the natives think?? -
Frosty: 10:27am Jun 21, 2005: But do you really need it? The listed implements let you know for what it is used! -
MandyT: 10:29am Jun 21, 2005: That's what I'm thinking, too. The baking bit is not really necessary. -

neutral sylvie malich: If I'm not mistaken, an anti-caking ingredient is added to dry food so that it doesn't stick and not onto a pan before baking.

neutral Hilary Davies: not the same thing - this is for flour, etc to stop it sticking together in lumps (or "caking") in the packet

On the above website you will also find a glossary:

Release agent
A vegetable oil based product, which may contain emulsifiers, cereal, waxes, etc which is formulated especially to facilitate the clean release of product from oven bands, tins, trays, etc.

Obviously depending on what you are referring to you simply use release agent or cake release agent or bread release agent.
