THIS is what I want to see!

what do. you want to see?

I want. to see you spray spam.

you mean you want to see me clean my plancha then spray with spam afterwards?
that would entail video but could not upload it, file too big, I had promised nah to send picture of my kitchen triever, but video taken of it in action could not be uploaded. Too big a file.
I scoop up left over oil with multipurpose scooper /chopper, discard it in a glass jar since I have septic , turn temp to 500 degrees, w ithin 5 min, the temp of the plancha is reached ( light comes on to indicate desired temp reached), throw a basin of ice cubes on the plancha, use same scooper when ice cubes defrost, steam comes up to scoop the dirty water into the the side compartment channel . After another minute or so, the Plancha becomes dry. I prefer that it does not get rusty, so I spray span on it , ready for use again

Do you mean Spic & Span, the cleanser? Or spam, the potted meat product? Or something else entirely?

OH, I guess my spelling was wrong?
I meant cooking oil spray PAM ( I currently use Kirkland canola spray sorry for typo

Thanks to this (highly entertaining!) thread I had delicious fried rice for dinner tonight using my favorite recipe, but a one-serving version using 1 cup of still-frozen TJ’s jasmine rice and nearly 2 cups of baby bok choy, edamame and kimchi, plus the other goodies. It was ginger-heavy which suits me. Soooo good!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Haha! I thought there was a new spam cooking spray! My eyes are going too…no harm, no foul :smile:

I think my computer auto corrects my spelling sometimes.
As for the SPAM MISTO, I have had those but found it clogged up easily ( purchased 2X from Costco bec of packaging, - so after 4 bottles, discontinued by Costco, decided to find alternative.
Found this on amazon, purchased in 2016


That is filled with EVOO that I spritz on food, ie potatoes which I want to bake in oven instead of wasting a whole lot of EVOO in a small bowl, and having to wash the silicone brush, spring rolls which I sometimes prefer bake to bake rather than fry and last night’s dinner, baked. chicken in oven instead of fry but suggestion is to spritz the panic with olive oil.
The company is small, very attentive to their buyers. Once, the spayer got clogged up, I sent them an email, to which they responded immediately.
So, if it clogs up, they advised to discard oil if it is in container too long, and how to clean it. Cleaning is easier since the bottle is glass. Since the, I. have had no problem as I do not load it up to the brim so I will not have stagnant stale oil.

The canola oil spray is still a veery useful item for me to spray the grill of my BBQ, the smoker, the plancha as well as the interior tin of various copper pots and most important, the tin of the copper lid if I am using them per suggested .

I did, see below. Very satisfied with it.
Just do not fill it both brim too much( suggest an inch or two - I feel it halfway now and has had no problem since) so oil does not get stale unless you can use that oil much quicker.

  • REFILL AND REUSE - This unique model produces such a FINE MIST you use so little oil it will last for weeks. The perfect cooking oil accessory your air fryer, grilling and baking. Fill it with an inch or two of olive oil. The rest of the space lets you pump up AIR pressure. Use your favorite oils for popcorn, salad, veggies, fish, meats, omelettes. - Even INFUSE your own flavors. The clear container lets you see exactly what’s inside and the premium filter makes sure only pure oil is spritzed.

I haven’t had any issues with my Misto, but I appreciate the recommendation for a replacement, if I ever need one. I use it all the time, on potatoes (as you do), and on salads. It’s also great for misting baked pasta before running it under the broiler.
