Shop Talk: Cooking Sprays

Move over PAM because there's a new cooking spray in town!

***Mazola PURE canola oil spray***

As if cooking spray wasn't expensive enough, now there's a new cooking spray
that costs even more than the others (I think it was 5 dollars, I'm not sure
but I remember being really shocked and thinking I better be able to write
it off my taxes.) I've got to say though...it IS definitely the prettiest
can on the shelf!

The Mazola PURE can is this pretty yellow color and it has this curvaceous
shape with an opaque yellow dome cap. Great design work Mazola!

Right on the front of the label, this cooking spray boasts:
* no alcohol (which made me wonder, do other cooking spray contain alcohol?)
* no silicone (I'm not even going to go there)

Well if makes such a big deal of not containing alcohol and silicone, what
does it contain? So I perused the list of ingredients and found:
--Canola oil (big surprise),
--Lecithin from soy (which they add for better no-stick-ness), and
--propellant

Did I like using this new cooking spray? You bet.
Is it worth the extra dollars per can? Depends on how badly you need those
extra dollars.
Is it still more environmentally friendly to use those refillable oil
sprayers? Darn it, but yes.


Bottom line: If you are interested in trying this new slick canola cooking
spray, try to buy it when it is on sale.
