Spray olive oil in a can!

[i-need-a-martini]

Is that the best invention ever or what?!

I have a squirt container that I refill with olive oil. It's not as easy as a spray can because you have to move your finger more than once 😄

Was it specially made for oil? I've put oil in ordinary plastic spray bottles and it ends up clogging.

Yes it originally had oil in it, but I refill it. It doesn't clog up, but the spray is a bit squirty instead of the fine mist you get with propellant sprays.

Oil spray leaves a residue on non stick baking pans, fry pans etc. On the instruction that come with them, it usually says don't use spray oil.

The oil spray can I have - 100% Aust - contents are Extra Virgin Olive Oil 70%, Propellant: Hydrocarbon (Butane, Propane). It is the butane that leaves the residue.

I don't like spray oil. For the little oil I use, I prefer to use oil from a bottle. If I put roast pumpkin or potato pieces on a baking paper on a tray, I do spray that with oil.

My "HINT OF THE DAY" is ... when you can, cook without oil.  

If I'm cooking mince, I cook it in water ... spag bol, burgers, whatever ... use water instead of oil.  

I dry fry steak.  

I cook turkey and pork in stock.

Why, Why, Why would you do that? What do you have against oil?

Yes I was thrilled when I discovered oil in a can. 

But I can top that. My George Foreman Grill. no oil necessary.

Instead of using a spray can on my vegies, I put them in a plastic bag, sprinkle a bit of rice bran oil in and jiggle them around.  Perfectly coated ready to bake.
