Cooking spray is a convenient aerosol or pump-dispensed product designed to prevent food from sticking to cookware. It's typically made from vegetable oil, such as canola or soybean oil, and sometimes includes propellants like butane or propane. The spray creates a thin, even coating that minimizes the need for added fats like butter or oil. This makes it a popular choice for baking, grilling, and sautéing, especially for those looking to reduce calorie intake or avoid the buildup of residue that can occur when using solid fats. Its neutral flavor doesn't interfere with the taste of the dish.

Cooking spray should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the nozzle is clean after each use to prevent clogging. Do not puncture or incinerate the can, even when empty. Proper storage helps maintain the spray's effectiveness and prevents accidental discharge.
