How people cook with it
Cooking spray is a helpful tool in the kitchen for preventing food from sticking. It can be used on a variety of cooking surfaces.

- Lightly coating muffin tins
To use this cooking spray, hold the can upright and spray a light, even coating onto the cooking surface. For baking, this means covering the bottom and sides of your cake pans, muffin tins, or cookie sheets. When frying, a quick spray on a skillet helps prevent eggs or pancakes from adhering. It is important to use short bursts to avoid over-application, which can lead to a greasy residue. The fine mist ensures a uniform layer.
