Cooking Spray Alternative
Oil in a Mister (with or without liquid lecithin): Add oil to a mister or even to a cheap plastic spray bottle from the dollar store. Canola or vegetable oil work well. Olive oil can be used (but as it is a bit heavier, it may require washing out the pump periodically with hot water and soap, to prevent clogging). If desired, add liquid lecithin (food grade, available at the Bulk Barn or any bulk or health food store). I add 2 tbsp liquid lecithin for every 1/2 cp of oil. You can increase the amount of lecithin up to equal parts lecithin and oil, if desired. *Lecithin is the emulsifier and 'secret' ingredient in commercial cooking sprays. It allows the spray to 'stick' to the sides of the pan and allows foods to slide out cleanly.Oil in a Bottle with a drip pour spout (or a bartender's 'measuring spout' with ball bearings in the head) PLUS a silicone basting brush (from any dollar store): Drizzle two or three drops of oil (your favourite oil) onto the cooking surface (pan, grill, griddle, etc). Use the silicone basting brush to spread the oil over the cooking surface, to achieve an even coating. A bartender's measuring spout allows an equal measure (check the amount, each spout has different capacities, often colour coded). I prefer the drip nozzle - I can control the amount of oil, and change it with the size of the pan or cooking surface. *NB I find that this doesn't work quite as well with a muffin tin. For muffin tins, I use a spray bottle - even the cheap plastic plant spray bottles found in a dollar store work well for this. I prefer this method for all baking pans!
