I'm the one who said I spray cold. I do that simply because it's hazardous and
messy to handle and spray the hot iron, without overspraying everything within
two feet.

I most often use the Butter Pam, but I have also used the Pam Pro (high heat).
Either works fine -- the iron isn't hot enough to burn butter or regular Pam
into black crud that's a bear to remove. Your choice should probably depend on
whether or not you notice any objectionable flavor from the synthetic butter.

And as I said previously, I haven't needed to re-spray while making up to 50
waffles at a stretch. Your batter should include roughly a quarter cup of oil
for each two cups of mix, so re-spraying should not be necessary.
