What it is

How people cook with it
Cooking sprays are useful for a variety of kitchen tasks. They help ensure food releases easily from cookware.
- Greasing baking pans
- Coating frying pans
- Preventing sticking on grills
- Lightly coating muffin tins
To use, hold the can upright and spray a light, even coating onto the desired cooking surface. For baking, spray the inside of the pan or mold before adding batter or dough. When frying, a quick spray onto the preheated pan is usually sufficient. It can also be used to lightly coat outdoor grill grates before cooking to prevent food from adhering. Shake well before each use. Avoid spraying directly onto open flames or heat sources.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other cooking sprays, this one is made with coconut oil. This can impart a slight sweetness and tropical aroma to food, which is different from sprays made with vegetable or canola oil. The base oil affects the flavor profile and how it pairs with different cuisines.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs use cooking sprays for their ease of use and ability to reduce the amount of oil needed.
How to keep the rest
Store the can at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to maintain freshness and prevent clogging of the nozzle. Keep out of reach of children.
