Are you serious?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say NO! Penetrating oil works because its super thin and has distillates that will break up rust. Pam is thick and meant for cooking not breaking loose stuck nuts. wow.

i doubt pam will penetrate very well.... try torching it if you have one handy and be cautious of burning what may be flammable around it, other than that.... use leverage by extending the end of your wrench with a pipe or another wrench to fit over it, that is if there's enough room to pull it off. If it's rusty and you don't want it to brake then i'd recommend waiting to buy some penetrating oil and obtaining some sort of torch so you can be sure that you'll be good to go. If it brakes anyways then it probably needed to be replaced. Goodluck!

All oils have capillary action, but some just take longer, this is a case where it would take a longggg *** time, but it could work, hell today because I was out of lock deicer, I heated up cooking oil and poured it in a pad lock to get it unfrozen, and lubed, worked good in -15* weather so far.
For the time you would be waiting for the Pam to work, it you could likely go to the store, spray the bolt, free the bolt, and have the job done before the th Pam starts working.

wow.... hah, there's a reason for why you find Pam spray at the food store and not at the automotive store. Sure you can use whatever you want.... jizz on it for all i care, but i don't think it's in your best interest.

Oh, and here are the "basic uses" of WD40 as stated by the manufacture.
http://www.wd40.com/Brands/wd40_product_info.html
and if you are too lazy to click the link this is what is says:
The Five Basic Functions
CLEANS: WD-40 gets under dirt, grime and grease to clean. It also dissolves adhesives, allowing easy removal of labels, tape, stickers, and excess bonding material.
DISPLACES MOISTURE: Because WD-40 displaces moisture, it quickly dries out electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits.
PENETRATES: WD-40 loosens rust-to-metal bonds and frees stuck, frozen or rusted metal parts.
LUBRICATES: WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and hold firmly to all moving parts.
PROTECTS: WD-40 protects metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements.

for de-icing a lock...... a cup of warm water does the sameee trick.
but i dont think that would work too well on bolts.
i use pb all day long, but nothing beats a impact wrench/chisel, and a torch. i mean... NOTHING.
