I haven't bought any cooking spray for years. I can't see why I would need
it.

Yeah, but, actually, you can control the paper towel method better and
not have the spray hitting areas outside what you wish to coat. I
don't buy the Pam stuff. I keep a little Canola in a stainless
watering can type thing, and just pour a tiny bit onto the paper
towel. I keep a little olive oil in a cruet for the same purpose.
Works fine and cheaper too. I also am not crazy about aerosol cans
around the stove.

I don't trust the stuff marketed as cooking spray any more than I like
what they sell as cooking wine. Ugh.

That's why I use Pam in the vicinity of the sink. Hold pan over sink;
spray. Overspray is cleaned up in the usual course of cleaning
the sink.

I believe that "PAM" consists mostly of Canola oil whereas many years
ago it contained corn oil. Canola oil leaves a sticky, yucky residue
which I hate and it is hard to clean it from surfaces. A food-quality
silicone spray works better for many of the "other" uses listed than
PAM does IMHO.

I spray in the sink for the same reason. I'm not afraid of aerosol,
but I create as little mess on purpose as possible, because I hate to
clean up.

You should avoid spraying Pam on your brake rotors - you'll just
contaminate your brake pads. At least your inside pads will probably be
OK. My guess is that a combination of Pam and brake dust would be tough
to clean.

Pam works fine sprayed on a Turkey before roasting.

I like that idea.

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

I use a spritzer filled with junky oil (Pomace olive oil that my SO thought was olive oil) to spray on the BBQ grill before I throw meat/apargus, peppers on there. Works fine.

I'll stick with WD-40 and the like for other "mechanical" lubrication.

They used to say to use Pam on the bumper to keep lovebugs from
sticking - baloney. Doesn't work anymore than Skin SO Soft repels
skeeters. Tried em both.

The residue is from lecithin, not canola oil.

Actually, the lecithin is supposed to prevent sticking (read the
label).

My brother and his wife had a restaurant and I used to get the empty
pails which had contained canola oil from them. You could wash and
wash with heavy duty detergent and hot water and still have that
sticky feel on the surface of the plastic pail. Damnedest stuff to
clean up if it gets spilled on a tile floor as well.

Back in the day (1970's) there was a practice called "bagging". Teens
sprayed PAM and other household toxins into plastic bags and sniffed them to
obtain a high... much like sniffing model glue. I know of one kid I went to
school with who died as a result. Alternative uses for cooking spray aren't
always a great idea.

I don't recall that term, unless it was something used locally. Here, and
pretty much everywhere else, it was and is called huffing. And they usually
use a paper bag. Not a plastic one.

Incredibly, huffing is alive and well these days. My niece will find
her 30-something year old husband passed out in parking lots with
empty cans laying on the floor of their car or in their bedroom. The
guy looks like a regular Joe but this is his recreational drug of
choice. The practice makes binge drinking seem like a healthy
alternative.

That's really sad. I don't know anyone personally who does it. But I have
seen people doing it. One guy started freaking out and stuffing beauty bark
up his nose after he did it. No telling what he thought he was doing.

When my daughter was in high school (1984-88) one of her classmates
was found dead in the parking lot after huffing from a can of car
air-conditioner freon refill. Frozen lungs doesn't sound like a fun
way to go. I understand it's the propellant in the can, not the
active material, that causes the high.

That's a good point. They have two kids but they seem pretty regular.
Mostly, I think their main problem will be growing up without a dad.

Huffing is mostly done by kids probably because they don't have easy
access to alcohol. OTOH, my guess is that adults will keep it a secret
because people their age just don't do that kind of stuff.

I'm not hip to how it all works although it's interesting that he
doesn't go for more socially acceptable ways of getting high. My guess
is that he wants to be unconscious. It could be more common a practice
in adults than we can imagine.

Years ago my doctor's partner was found dead in his office from
sniffing whatever kind of gas they might have there. Seems he'd stay
after hours and get high. It was all pretty shocking.

I notice some dentists don't give you nearly enough nitrous gas.
I figure they are bogarting it.

I'm guessing that would be nitrous oxide although, I've never heard of
that stuff killing a person. Pretty shocking indeed.

How much benefit is there to having a substance or drug addicted father
as a role model?

Heh, well I only had laughing gas at the dentist once, when I was
maybe 12. Walking home was really ... interesting.

My current dentist only offers me the needle, I don't know if
he uses gas.

Most of the freons (there are a number of them) are quite inert and
biologically innocuous. In fact, it's their lack of chemical
reactivity that allows them to migrate into the upper atmosphere and
cause the problems they are thought to cause. Unlikely to have caused
death by frozen lungs; possibly simple suffocation, or
over-intoxication.

I'm not up on this chemistry but my understanding is that vapors from
gasoline and similar solvents, as well as propellants for some
aerosols, interfere with nerve transmission by messing about with
neurotransmitters in CNS receptors.

Quote from my favorite chemistry book:

"...sniffing...is perhaps the deadliest form of drug abuse. The dose
required for intoxication often is not far from that which will stop
the heart. And it is difficult to measure the dose inhaled from the
plastic or paper bag normally used in sniffing...sublethal doses can
cause permanent brain damage by cutting down the oxygen supply to the
brain."

Nitrous oxide itself does not kill (nor does helium, though it's
alleged otherwise). It's the lack of oxygen that kills. Nitrous
oxide as anesthetic is mixed with oxygen. If it's mixed 50-50 with
room air, the user gets slighly less oxygen than is required to remain
conscious. Problems may follow...

N2O seems unlikely to kill but I guess people die strange deaths all the
time. What a way to go.

In my college days, one individual died from N20 inhalation. The
situation was fairly extreme however; they had a tank of 100% N20
and fell asleep with the hose in their mouth.

Gawd, that's awful! Apparently he has no idea how many brain cells he's
killing when he does this. Seriously.

Beer cans? It's really difficult to drink enough beer to make
oneself pass out. He could have some comorbidity such as a metabolic
problem.

In any case, he needs help, and probably your niece as well, who
might want to check out Al-Anon.

Oops, missed that. (Huffing = some sort of inhalant intoxicant?)

Sorry, there are kids. My wife's side of the family's genes tends to
foster addictive behavior. My sister-in-law's husband was pretty much a
user in his younger days although he's slowed down and paying for those
days of abuse. My niece just married a guy that was like her dad. That's
the breaks. About all one can do now is pray, I guess.
