Homemade Nonstick spray is now what I use in place of Pam!! Nonstick sprays that come in cans, are full of all kinds of stuff you really don’t want touching your food or ingesting into your body. Plus, I have always hated the residue Pam leaves on my pans and skillet!! I have been using this spray since March for everything except my BBQ. I have used it in our crockpot, casserole pans, and baking dishes and love it!! All of the dishes have required little scrubbing and no residue left behind!! You can make this spray and control the ingredients.
Making your own nonstick spray at home will save you time, money and you can feel good about the ingredients you put in and onto your families food.
I grabbed my spray bottle Dollar Tree to try this out!! I am hoping to find a deal on a Misto soon!! Thank you Nature’s Nurtures Blog for the ratio for the Homemade Nonstick Spray.
Directions for Homemade Nonstick Spray:
1 Part Olive Oil
4 Parts Water
shake and spray!!
*Be sure to shake prior to each use as water and oil will separate*(I do 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil and 4 Tablespoons water)
Ooh, thank you. I bake a lot so I have to always have Pam on hand. This recipe will sure come in handy. Although, I do not use olive oil in my baking would this be a problem or could I substitute it for vegetable oil? Would it matter?
I have used this on everything but my BBQ grill. It has not affected how anything cooks at all. And the clean up is easy!! I bet you could substitute vegetable oil but I have never tried it to know how it works!
Do not use vegetable oil in place of olive oil. It leaves a gummy residue over time which will ruin your pan. I know this from experience. I wil only use olive oil, ghee, bacon fat, or lard (in a pinch) now.
Great to know! Thanks, Olive oil is our mainstay!
I use Pampered Chef’s Spritz Can for my “Pam Spray”. I can use any type of oil I want and I know what’s in my spray now!
I use liquid lecithin plus olive oil. Lecithin is the active ingredient in Pam. Also, you don’t need a spray bottle. I use a pint jar with a hole in the lid to accommodate the handle of a silicon food brush and just swab it on the pan. Works better than Pam which, I think, has dropped the concentration of lecithin to the level where it is no longer as stick-free.
