Cooking Oil Spray
Oil Spray for Cooking
Just like traditional oils, cooking oil sprays are perfect for baking, cooking, and can also be used in cold dishes when you just want to “drizzle” something lightly. The spray allows for even application of the oil, which is especially useful on uneven surfaces, such as greasing a muffin tray.
The biggest advantage, however, is the easier and more precise portion control, which is particularly appreciated by those counting every calorie. A teaspoon, commonly used as a measurement unit, holds approximately 5 grams of oil, whereas a single spray dispenses less than 2 grams, and more evenly.
Which Oil to Choose?
When choosing a cooking oil spray, attention should be paid to the quality of the product, which can easily be assessed by its ingredients – ideally, it should contain no additives. Another important criterion is the oil’s intended use. Each oil has a specific smoke point, the temperature at which it starts to break down and becomes unsuitable for consumption:
| Avocado oil | 270°C |
| Canola oil | 240°C |
| Olive oil | 210°C |
| Coconut oil | 200°C |
| Sunflower oil | 110°C |
From the table, it’s clear that avocado or canola oil are the best choices for hot cooking. Surprisingly for some, sunflower oil is entirely unsuitable for this purpose. Although olive oil can be used for cooking, extra virgin olive oil, which is cold‑pressed to preserve its health benefits, loses much of its nutritional value when heated, making it less beneficial.
