MISTO Brushed Aluminum Oil Sprayer, individual, Silver

MISTO Brushed Aluminum Oil Sprayer, individual, Silver ($7.73)I have started using avocado oil and I wanted something to use to be able to spray it in small amounts for cooking. Visiting the grocery store I would find spray oils but all of them were in non-reusable packaging or used propellants. I saw this and wanted to give it a try. This is not what I expected. With the cap you have to pump it up and down in order to activate the mist ability. The instructions indicate only filling the container half way for it to work properly. I have used this a couple of times and it works great. A nice fine mist that coats the pan, just how I like it. I like that this is reusable and easy to clean as well. No complaints (thus far).

Works well. Could use less pumps to prime, but sprays and covers area well.

This mister is a winner! Works as expected, quality design & materials, easy to use & clean, and nicely priced. This is one of those rare kitchen gadgets that makes us wonder how we got along without it. Just pump a few times before use and you get a fine mist of your favorite cooking oil just where you want it. We are so pleased we bought a second one as a backup (no spray pump lasts forever). Try this mister for yourself... you'll be glad you did.

Worked okay for a while. The nozzle clogs easily. Pump action for compression of air is easy to use and reliable.

I have had (and been using) these for a few months now.I received it from a relative who very much likes their Misto sprayers.My OnLY issue with these sprayers is that I wish they sprayed while being held at maybe a 90 degree angle - they must be held much more upright to work effectively. (So I find myself tipping the bowl or pan I am spraying, an easy fix.)Plastic sprayer reviews seem to agree that the plastic will get to hold a smell after a while of use. Ugh!The sprays from the store have additives, such as anti-foaming agents, emulsifying agents to prevents ingredients from separating, propellants/chemicals used to drive the fluid out of the can,.. so I feel that the Miso sprayers are a healthier choice.First, I find that they work best when I do not fill them much. This way, the pressure can build by pumping and I can have it empty more often for cleaning. If I fill it as much as recommended, I find that I really ought to be cleaning it more often.I have seen comments about the spraying. There was a learning curve for me. I don't even count the pumps, because I found that 10-15 is often not enough (possibly because I fill it less). I pump it until I feel resistance, and the cap no longer goes all of the way down for the pump, or even until I can no longer pump the cap. With the container pressurized, I do not get the spittle, but I get a very nice spray. If the spray starts to die off, I stop & re-pump to pressurize again. So I have found that the spittle and drops come from not enough pressure. Pump it up again.Also, hold the sprayer more upright than perpendicular.I have sen comments about instructions to depressurize after each use. This does NoT mean after every spray. It means when you are putting the sprayer away for use at another time. Storing it while pressurized will quickly ruin the sealing ability.As with other sprayers (and even cans of spray paint), I sometimes (never always) turn the sprayer upside down & spray to clear the nozzle. Then I release the pressure. I have never had trouble with the nozzle clogging. Then again, filling with less oil, I may be cleaning the entire thing more often than other users.** UPDATE: My above review was written in haste.This product simply does not last.One broke when washing after the first few weeks of using. There is an attachment on the bottom of the tube that goes into the oil that broke off when hand washing. There is no way to attach it back on to the tube. The sprayer does not work correctly without this piece.The second sprayer would spray a mist for perhaps the first four times used. Now it will only produce a stream of oil. Not at all what the product advertises or why I bought it.These were a gift, recommended from a relative.At the time, they did not know where the Misto sprayers they had bought and used years before were or why they no longer used them. After my 'issues' and longer discussions, it appears that they also had problems with this product and are sorry to have recommended them.

If you want an oil sprayer, this is it. I bought 3 different oil sprayers, none worked, they do p** in my food. This is the ONE. Get it! The least expensive of all.

I love thisMists, not squirts

Worked well for about 6 months. After that oil comes out as a solid stream, not a spray. That will not change, no matter how or what you try. The pump built into the lid also starts coming apart when you take the lid off to use it.I gave it 2 stars for looking really upscale, and 1 more because it did spray (instead of stream) for about 6 months.However, this is a more expensive sprayer than most of the others, and the others seem to work about as well.
