Curly Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 I've had a couple of these Olive Oil dispensers and neither of them have been very reliable or have lasted all that long. Anybody had any good luck with a certain brand? The 2 I've had were both pumps that seemed to not give a good spray for long. The spayer eventually went from a nice wide spay to a single line of oil.

cruzmisl Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 I just buy the olive oil spray (like Pam but olive oil) at my local Whole Foods. Always works and never goes rancid.
Firemonkey Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 I have one from the pampered chef, that my wife brought home. I'm not too impressed with it, but it does work. its completely plastic, and the key to good coverage is keeping the pressure high enough. I only really use ot for things like coating bowls before putgting dough in them to rise, or spraying vegetables for grilling. Its nice to have one bevcause I make infused oils with spices from the garden - but the convenience of a can cant be beat. I am thinking about using a cheap trigger sprayer. I bet it would work pretty well.
rbv Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Cook's Illustrated picks the "QuickMist" as the best oil sprayer, for what it's worth.
samantha Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 I just buy the olive oil spray (like Pam but olive oil) at my local Whole Foods. Always works and never goes rancid. This would not be a pure olive oil. The viscosity of the better oils make it difficult to spray, but the pumps if cleaned should work, even though they won't spray very long.
rbv Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 When challenged to find the most effective way to evenly coat the chicken pieces with oil, the test kitchen staff at Cook's tested four different oil sprayers: QuickMist and Misto (two of the newer air-pumped sprayers), a plastic spray bottle, and vegetable oil Pam. All the refillable sprayers were filled with vegetable oil. The QuickMist fared the best. Only 15 pumps were necessary to create the pressure needed to keep the oil at a contant spray. The mist of oil created was the finest, making it easy to coat the chicken evenly. Conveniently, the QuickMist also held a mist for the longest period of time, making the task of pumping less repetitive. From "Cooks Illustrated", cooksillustrated.com
Firemonkey Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Curly, are you going to tell me you dont have compressed air in that shop of yours? Do it the DJ way - plumb some air lines to the kitchen, add a quick connect to the counter backsplash, and use a spray gun!

I bgt 3 of those Misto's for $9.99 each when I started this thread. I recently saw them at Dollar General (or similar) for about $3.00. Crocky man

Hey dude, it would be easy for us to divert that airline running to your bedroom (for those blow up monkeys) and run it to the kitchen? hehe -=Jasen=-
