How many times have you cooked something with commercial cooking sprays, only to notice the chemical taste when you’re done?  Have you ever wished that there was a way to get the convenience of a cooking spray, but without the artificial taste of most of the canned cooking sprays from the supermarket?

Luckily, the food industry has heard your cries for a new product.  You can now find olive oil cooking spray in just about any supermarket.  Olive oil cooking spray works in the same way as those other sprays, but it contains the health benefits and fantastic taste of olive oil.

Olive oil cooking spray may be a new product, but cooking with olive oil is no secret to people who want the best flavor for everything they cook.  Family cooks and professional chefs alike all swear by olive oil for its superior taste and ease of use.  Now, using olive oil to grease your pans or sauté your onions is even easier than before.

Also Available in a Reusable Container

Olive oil cooking spray ordinarily comes in the same pressurized aluminum spray container as other commercial cooking sprays.  However, you can also find special refillable spray containers at any good kitchen supply or gadget store.  These extremely handy gadgets let you make your own olive oil cooking spray at home for a fraction of the cost of the non-reusable containers from the supermarket.

To make your own olive oil cooking spray, you simply fill the chamber of the sprayer with a small amount of olive oil and then pressurize the oil by pumping a special lever on the top of the bottle.  You can then spray a fine mist of olive oil cooking spray onto your cooking surface.

This method of making olive oil cooking spray is much better for the environment than using disposable cans of spray from the supermarket.  In some cases, it may also be healthier: some commercial brands of olive oil cooking spray contain additives in addition to the olive oil.

Choosing to use olive oil cooking spray, whether it’s from a store-bought can or a special pump container, can make your cooking lighter, healthier, and tastier than ever before.  The health benefits of olive oil are often talked about, and every day we learn more about how great this oil can be for our health. 

Using olive oil cooking spray instead of shortening or lard for oiling your baking pans can cut out several hundred calories without losing any of the delicious food to pan stickiness.  And if you can cut some calories, you’ll have room for even more of your delicious healthy cooking!
