Parting With Cooking Spray

I have never been a Cooking Spray Aficionado. The claims seemed so unreal, 0 calories, natural flavor, blah, blah, blah. I can't deny it comes in handy when I'm cooking. Sometimes I just don't feel like brushing olive oil on pots and pans several times a day. The breaking point came with a Calphalon Pasta Pot I purchased. I read the insert and it warns you not to use cooking spray otherwise you can stain your stainless steel pot. They recommended a Spritzer (aka oil sprayer). It was a no-brainer. No chemicals, my favorite olive oil, protecting the environment by substituting aerosol cans with refillable spray bottles... I was sold.

I bought one at Target, came home and it didn't work. I decided to do some online research before buying another one. After reading awful reviews of several sprayer makes, I found Misto at Amazon. I purchased two of them and couldn't be happier. One for Extra Virgin Olive Oil and one for Canola Oil. They are handsome and practical, it benefits my family and the environment - it's a win-win situation.
