    An oil sprayer. I was looking for gift ideas and came across a “misto” brand oil sprayer and now I use it all the time! No more spray cans of oil and God knows what else, you just fill it half way with whatever oil you want (except coconut oil for some reason) and you pump it to pressurize the oil so you can spray whatever you want.

      Why do you need to spray oil? Just seems like another way to make a mess.

      I use those basic restaurant supply squeeze bottles that you can fill with anything. I squeeze a few dabs to a few tsp of oil depending on what I’m cooking and away I go. I’ve never needed to spray a fine oil mist to cook anything.

        It makes coating a pan or bowl easier so I don’t end up using too much and I use it when I make seasoned chicken! :)

          I just use a few drops of oil from my squeeze bottle and then spread it around. Oil is easy to spread around and it sticks to everything (which is why we need soap to wash it off).

      I inherited one of those but stopped using it because I had no idea how to clean it. I also don’t often run into situations where I need to spray oil.

        Thats not good to hear lol hopefully mine holds out!

        I’ve had it for almost a year now, but I’ve only used vegetable oil, only fill it half way, and I depressurize it when I’m done. Not sure if there is much of a difference between the two oils or if I just got lucky.

          They work great until they don’t. I’ve had the same experience, be prepared to replace it occasionally because it’s usually near impossible to disassemble and clean the pump mechanism completely.
