DIY Cooking Sprays: Recipes for Spritzer Bottles

[chefamjohnson]

I have had several customers buy the Spritzer Bottles in hopes to make their own spray for cooking, they said that vegetable oil is too thick and wont spray out, can anyone help me with some recipes they can whip up for sprays or other liquids they can use???

I don't have any trouble with vegetable oil. I wonder if they are pumping them up properly.

Olive oil works GREAT We use Olive oil, spray round stone for pizzas, cookies, etc.

I have two--one for Olive Oil and one for Canola Oil and they both work fine.

I use canola oil without a problem.I have a few...:
-lemon juice to spritz apples so that they don't brown,
-water to spritz tortilla shells so that cinn and sugar will stick without adding calories before baking.
-lime juice to spray on tortillas before baking to make lime tortilla chips
-Vinegars to do a spray vinaigrette to spritz a salad, without adding the calories of oils. (Wish Bone makes their salad spritzers in a few flavors, so you could use those for ideas....balsamic, etc)

Jennifer,

You stole my idea about the lemon juice . I was going to say the same thing, and when I suggest it at shows, people always buy them. Love to keep a bottle in my fridge and spritz my daughter's cut up apple.

I haven't had any problems w/ any oils...

I have a customer who uses one for a vitamin spray she has to put on her iguanas! I need another one for water or lemon juice...

My mom is using a sterile one (it was brand new, plus went through the dishwasher, etc) for misting her bandages with saline to get them a little "unstuck" from her deep incisions as they heal ...the vitamin spray thing reminded me of it!!!

I read somewhere to use these for bug sprays and suntan sprays for camping or days at the beach.

Just make sure you label those really well.

I think the spritzer is a very unsatisfactory product although I love the concept and use it regularly. Things I have learned to make it work better (not like I want it but still better).....

Make sure top is tightened all the way.
Pump, pump and pump. Until it gets hard to pump.
Press all the way down. A half way press won't cut it.
Loosen it when you are done to prevent build up.

Another good tip is to clean the spray mechanism thoroughly, regularly. I try to clean it when it needs to be refilled.

And I love that it comes with a second pump mechanism now so you can keep using it when the other pump needs cleaning.
