Guide Review - Misto Gourmet Olive Oil Sprayer: Product Review
The Misto Gourmet Olive Oil Sprayer is the perfect addition to the frugal epicurean’s arsenal. Made of satin-finished aluminum, this sprayer is as attractive as it is functional. Just fill the chamber with your preferred oil, and pump the lid up and down (about 10 times) to build up pressure. Then, spray the oil just as you would with any other cooking oil sprayer.
Since the Misto can be filled again and again, it’s far cheaper than using disposable cooking oil sprays – and far healthier too – no silicon or other nasty additives to worry about. With a price tag of around $10, it may be worth purchasing two: one for olive oil and one for canola oil (or your preferred oil). This is one instance where gourmet doesn't mean expensive.
