When in cooking do you use a sprayer to apply olive (or other) oil?

Do you use the spray cans, or a hand-spritzer?

As opposed to a brush or quick-fry or other technique?

I've never really used it, but just got a can at TJ's, now if I can
just keep it separate from the laundry spray-starch and WD-40. The
can suggests it's good for spraying sheets and pans, but also for
spraying on food "to enhance taste". I thought I'd try it on eggplant
after cutting and before nuking.

Thanks,

J.

Never. It's very unhealthy to inhale oil mist.

I don't. I did buy a Misto when I lived in NY. I just made a sticky mess.
Now if I need just a little olive oil, I just use my fingers or a paper
towel to spread it out. If I were doing eggplant, I would paint it on with
my pastry brush or just dip the slices in it.

He probably has an aerosol can of olive oil spray. I have one that's
coconut oil.

I wouldn't use that stuff. Always additives.

If additives they'd be listed on the can... but what kind of moroon
would release an oil aerosol indoors, besides coating everything in
your house it would coat your lungs, not good.

I hope you use those outdoors, and wear a repirator and eye

I don't use coconut oil in cooking. Daughter can't have it.

I'll use a spray can occationally when I want a fine, even, coating of oil. Spraying eggplant would be something I might do. I'll use spray oil on turkeys because massaging poultry gives me the creeps. I just use a big and cheap can of oil from Costco.

My daughter uses coconut oil but I won't cause it looks kind of weird and pasty.

Thanks.

Lot of negative reactions, surprised me a bit.

The TJ's can has olive oil and added soy lecithin, I assume to improve
sprayability somehow.

I'm not sure I'm getting any discernible taste difference with that
little oil, it may help the eggplant cook a little hotter in the
microwave.

Good grief, man! You don't spray it around like
air freshener. Frying releases more aerosolized oil
into the air.

Incidentally, my lungs are pretty good about clearing
themselves. Sorry about yours.

If I was doing the turkey right, I'd be massaging the bird and getting my fingers under the skin and oiling the bird from underneath. These days I just spray - too lazy.

The early cooking sprays were pretty much all lecithin. These days they're mostly oil. I'd rather have lecithin. I'd spray the eggplant so stuff would stick to it and give it a nicer appearance mostly.

Do not use cooking sprays containing lecithin on non-stick pans; it will
carbonize and be hard, if not impossible, to remove without damaging the
coating.

If I know me - and I think I do, I'm gonna have to test that out!
