Sprays have their use cases for griddles and molds that need to be lubed.
Not my daily driver for fats but I donβt see the problem.
The issue I have with plastic spray nozzles and units with oil is that they get gunky even if you clean them after every use. And most heads are not supposed run through the dishwasher. Which is highly impractical for us. For a while I bought a new one every year just to replace the top part.
I also haven't had one yet that didn't leak everywhere...
How soon before this started happening?
https://mistooilsprayer.com/ Mine pumps up and sprays like a can
Those clog pretty quickly
Sure, but they also clean very easily. It's not like a clog kills them, unless you're using a drying oil, something that turns into varnish inside the pump.
what i don't get is who uses that little oil that they have to spray it? i just pour oil all over it.
You may not get it, that's fine, but it is an extremely common cooking technique. What you're saying is like saying "Why do people steam things? I don't steam things, that's just stupid" (I know you didn't say it was stupid)
Pouring oil will be right in some cases, but in other cases WAY more oil and WAY less distributed than desired.
Which is funny because I just posted about using spray oil on my egg poacher. :)
well CLEARLY that means you are FRYING not POACHING. hehehe
One example would be my 1960s egg poacher, about all I use spray for. I could use butter, and have!, but the spray ensures it hits the entire surface and the egg no stick. Yes, I could wipe it with a buttered paper towel, but that's messy.
Having said that, I refuse to pay the ridiculous price for spray oil. Only reason I use it is that my wife stocks it for whatever reason.
Why not pump-based spray? I thought we were done with aerosols...
It's not aerosol. It's just pressurized.
I see. I stand corrected.
I mean, technically it's an aerosol since it's a spray, but it doesn't use the harmful chemicals that ate the ozone layer.
Then how is OP going to get enough ozone in his diet?
He leaves all of his light switches almost flipped to release the magic smoke.
