Canola Cooking Spray

Cooking spray is a very common household product. It is one of the staple items that many people have on their grocery list. I used to buy Pam, but one day I decided to try the Great Value brand of Canola Oil No Stick Cooking Spray. When I was shopping I noticed the brands that were present at the store. I was shopping at Wal-Mart so there was their generic brand, Great Value. I decided to give it a try because I am always looking for a deal and some of the generic branded items are very good and equivalent to the name brands.I purchased the Great Value Canola Oil Spray and decided to try it with a cake mix I had wanted to make. I mixed my cake mix according to the package. I then prepared my pan with the canola oil spray. I did this by spraying the pan generously. I then poured the cake mix in the pan and baked the cake as needed in the preheated oven. I cooled the cake for 15 minutes as I normally do. I then flipped the cake pan over on a cake board to finish cooling the cake and get it out of the pan so I could decorate it later. When I flipped the cake out of the pan I also got to see how well the cooking spray had worked. The generic brand had actually performed just as well as the name brand item that I usually use.There are many great things about this product. First of all there are zero calories per serving. A serving is a ¼ second spray. There is no fat, cholesterol, sodium, or carbohydrates in each serving. To use the product all you do is shake the can, hold the can approximately ten inches from the surface you want to coat, and then spray. It's as easy and simple as that.
