I remember when that thing first came out. Reports were anything but
glowing here in rfc. Some of my family members also toyed with it,
but were not impressed and soon stopped using it. I've never even
bothered.

I've been using one since I first heard of Misto and it cost over $20
then, I like it very much for spraying olive oil (virginol) on salads
and for use with "non-stick" cookware. I'll admit I am using at least my
second one but I paid less than $10 for it.

I think it's silly to spray salads with oil. I'm perfectly capable of
using a minimum of dressing and coating every leaf. As far as
nonstick pans - I just pour a little oil in and swish it around with a
turner. It's not a big deal.

Nuts! :-) I want to use the absolute minimum of oil and the sprayer
allows me to dispense it in a controlled fashion.

Why use any? It's nonstick!

Unfortunately, there's no such animal after a few uses and a little oil
seems to spread the heat more uniformly.

WTF would any normal person want to inhale atomized oil? duh
One inhales enough cooking fumes normally, why over kill???

Doesn't take any skill at all to drizzle minimum oil into a bowl of
salad and toss... those oil atomizers are the idiot's delight.
WTF can't you simply mix up some vinaigrette and apply to suit.
If you were truly wanting to ingest less fat you'd eat your salad from
a cheap paper plate, they suck up oil but not the juices. I fry eggs
in butter but eat them from a paper plate, I ingest considerably less
fat plus I don't have to deal with plates coated with runny egg dried
on... in boxes of 1,000 cheap paper plates cost like .0008¢ per.

It worked as advertised for about a year. Then it started either
clogging or spraying wrong.

I'd have to clear the spray hole with a pin or spray it into the sink
or trash-can until it was cleared. What a PITA.

I paid something like $20+ for it.

It also "Over-Sprayed" and got all over the stove or table.

I dribbled or drizzled olive oil for decades before my sister talked
me into buying it. That's what I do now. Works just as well as it
always did.

Try putting about a teaspoon or so of vodka in the oil when you fill it
next. It keeps the spray nozzle clear.

Sorry Boli, it hit the trash can about a week ago. One too many clogs.
I called it a nasty name and dumped it.

How would that help, all the vodka would get ejected with the first
2-3 spritzes, the oil will float on the vodka.

The Misto® is working well for me. I am just using it to spray a
little EVOO in a frying pan. It is certainly preferable to the olive oil
Pam® in the can with a host of propellants.

I don't use that stuff unless I'm making sure every nook and cranny in
a baking pan is covered with something.

Hi Janet, mine wasn't the "Misto" sprayer. It was quite awhile ago and
I don't recall the name of the one I had. Maybe this one was
manufactured after fixing the problems with the one I had.

I might consider buying the Misto one and giving it a try.

Mine was the stainless steel Misto. Granted I did get it when they first
came out.

I gave up on the MIsto - I wanted to use it with the oil as you say
you are doing, but it clogged up in no time and no way could I get it
clean. I then tried it to spray a little lemon juice on stuff -
BONNNKKKK - no way. What a waste of money. Well, maybe I cud use it
as a safe - I doubt any burglar would shake it to hear what might be
hidden inside.

I went back to my old cruets to store a bit of oil - a few shakes over
a pan and I'm set. I clean it with a paper towel wrapped and rubber
banded around a chopstick, cuz no brush I own would get into those
right angles.

Hmm. I just found an old sprayer when cleaning out a neglected
area of the kitchen. Let me look.

(One minute elapses.) Yep, sure enough it's a Misto. Unused for
10, 15 years.
