Have You Tried…Olive Oil Misto?
Posted by in Have You Tried?
I grew up using Pam to spray baking dishes, baking sheets, etc. It’s super convenient and easy to use. However, it has a long list of icky ingredients in it. One of which is silicone. I really don’t want to eat silicone. I’m not a big fan of rubbing sticks of butter on my pans or painting them with olive oil. I even tried saving my butter wrappers to use, but it always annoyed me.
Enter the olive oil Misto. This is your own easy to use cooking spray alternative. You fill the mister with olive oil. You are supposed to pump it 10 times before using it each time. Then you spray. It works just as well as Pam with no icky ingredients.
Although you are supposed to pump it 10 times, I did that the first time and since then I usually give it about 2-3 pumps and it works just fine.
I am LOVING this product. It’s also much nicer looking than cooking spray, so it sits out on the recessed shelf behind my cooktop now.

Lovely design for the product. I know that a lot of healthy eating places recommend putting olive oil in a spray bottle, but I haven’t gotten around ot it. If Misto isn’t too expensive, I might give it a try
I should have put that in the post – it’s only $9.99 on Amazon!
I purchased one several years ago, and got only intermittent spritzing and lots of drips around the nozzle. After online troubleshooting advice didn’t help, I purchased another. Same problem. I am now using Kirkland (Costco) brand spray. I have not had much luck with “as seen on TV” items I’ve tried.
I hate the icky residue that cooking spray leaves on my food. I am going to check in to this pump so I can use olive oil instead. I had no idea that you could get something to spray a fine enough mist to use Olive Oil.
I wish I could agree with you – but I had the same problems as Margie. It started out working, but that didn’t last very long. Very frustrated with this product!
I also had spraying problems with the Misto. I was glad to read it just wasn’t me. Mine ended up in the garbage. It is a great idea. I wonder if they have improved as this happened a few years ago.
I haven’t had any problems and have been using it for a month now. I really love it! Maybe they did improve it. My mom used to have one (not sure what brand) and didn’t like it either.
We own this. My husband bought it. We all love it and use it every day (to mist olive oil on salads and on pots and pans…)
