Review: Misto a Must Have?

I use to work for a kitchen store.  We used a Misto  there all the time. Obviously I quit working there at some point. I am not sure why I never got the Misto  then because, well, I loved it AND I had a 40% discount (Serious DUH!).

So, the other month a  I bought one. Ok, ok, you are asking what this thing is.

A Misto is pretty much one of those cooking spray bottles(PAM). The Misto bottle is made of brushed aluminum and plastic. It is even better though because there are no chemicals involved and it is re- useable. You get to use whatever oil you want to and with just an itty bitty bit more work, save so much money. Extra work? You need to fill the bottle and then the lid acts as a pump to get it going. When you use it you need to pump it occasionally to get it primed but honestly, it really isn’t a hassle at all. 3 oz. of oil goes so far in one of these things.   

How much money does it save? It all depends how much you pay for cooking spray.  The most I will pay is $2 each  so at under $10 for a Misto  I start saving after I use approximately 5 bottles worth of spray. If you pay $3 a bottle, you save just after 3 bottles. Because I used the Misto  heavily at a kitchen store all the time I already know that I will easily make my money back. Plus I can use extra virgin olive oil to grease my cake pan without paying extra.

I love that it comes in several colors and since my goal is to eventually have a blue/brown kitchen I ordered the brushed aluminum blue one.  What are you waiting for? You NEED one of these in your kitchen.  I know they have some that may be cheaper but I am not about to “test” their quality when I know that Misto is a brand that works.
