MISTOAluminum Olive Oil Sprayer, Tomato -,Red

I've always hated buying those aluminum cans of spray oil. This fixes that. With a quick fill, and a few pumps, you can use whatever type of oil you like. It's a decent size, and great value for the money. The body and lid are made of metal, with a plastic pump and spray mechanism inside. When you pump it right, the spray comes out strong and even, making this a valuable tool in the kitchen. Don't worry, it's simple and easy to use.

I'm trying to live more sustainably and being able to spray oil without aerosols was one of my big priorities. This is a great value for the money and helps me to meet my environmental goals.

This is of the newer MIsto design, with no plastic bladder, oil goes directly into the aluminum body of the sprayer. It does spray oil, and depending the type of oil (viscosity), temperature, and how clear the nozzle is, produce a stream of oil, or a mist of oil. Obviously thicker oils like EVOO, and it is now winter so lower room temperatures make the spray a single stream of oil rather than a mist. The steam works but I prefer a mist. Again sometimes it does mist the oil. Misto recommends you unscrew the top after each use to keep the nozzle clean. As this can sometime make the body of the sprayer oily, I just invert it, point in a safe direction, and spray away the pressure while seemingly clearing the nozzle and tubing at the same time. I read in the reviews a suggestion that you only pump until you feel pressure pushing back. I used to pump the sprayer up as much as I could. It seems my old way was wrong and just pumping until you feel pressure works just as well. In the old days Misto included stickers for the body of the sprayer for the type of oil in the sprayer. These were great until oil got on them and they would no longer stick, slide around or fall off. The newer red color distinguishes it and what oil is inside from my silver colored sprayer. Over decades I have had several of their sprayers old and new design, and will keep buying them, even with the varying streaming/misting performance.

This thing is garbage. I may have gotten a bad unit, but it completely does not work. It spits a few globs of olive out, there is no misting or even a fine spray, nothing that is usable. Oil seeps out through the nozzle, making it messy. Complete waste of money.

These sprayers are a great alternative to expensive aerosol alternatives! I have one for olive oil and one for avocado.

Item works, kind of..Unless pumped up each time, fully, it just sputters the oil out (EVO), even when fully pumped up its not the same as an aerosol spray. Still better than PAM canola oil and considerably less expensive to use.

This sprayer is a very excellent tool to have for kitchen use. It is small, but very useful and works well. I had one of these that i used for years until it finally wouldnt hold pressure anymore. I liked it so much, that I purchased this one to replace it.

I've been using Misto oil sprayers for olive oil for years. Then, I discovered that it was great for sesame oil, which is supposed to be very sparingly. When trying to sprinkle rice wine vinegar sparingly out of the bottle it came in, it came to me that Misto would be far superior. Red wine vinegar-same. Balsamic vinegar - same. I'm sure there are many other uses. Problem: they were all stainless steel, and even permanent Sharples faded when trying to identify them. I had to resort to freezer tape to label them. When the red model came out, I snatched it up. Now, I just wish that they came in many different colors. The product itself is so good for portion control, for air frying, for lightly dressed salads, etc. A myriad of different colors wouldn't be terribly expensive to produce, and would suit my purposes perfectly. Also, think of those people who would be so happy to integrate different color schemes in their kitchens. Something you should consider. Think about it. That's all.
