I have been looking for a branded food grade refillable oil sprayer for a while. Found this in woolies today.

From the description in their website.

/*The Decor Cook refillable oil sprayer is the ideal cooks companion for light and healthy cooking. Perfect for barbecuing, baking, dressing salads, frying, grilling, roasting and more.

The unique easy pump action produces an oil spray without the use of aerosol gases. It allows you to apply a thin even coat of oil, as opposed to pouring a thick heavy layer. So use your favourite oils in the healthiest way possible for all your cooking needs.

  • Works with all oils & vinegars */

        Almost all plastic is food grade. Anything with recycle code 5 is food grade.

          Can you please quote the source of your information?

          Are you saying that "almost all plastic products" meet these purity standards by default? Are you implying that the food safe standards and label are practically redundant?

          Or do your mean almost all plastic can be manufactured to meet food standards? This table from Choice shows all types of plastic being used as food containers in various ways.

          You haven't answered what I really wanted to know. Do the plastic used in Bunnings $1 water sprayer bottles meet the purity standards? Do they contain harmful dyes and additives that leech? Do they use rubber seals which degrade in oil, or food safe silicone seals? Are they free of BPA, PVC, lead and phthalates and are they dishwasher-safe?

        • Jackson on 15/05/2017 - 21:36

          @alvian: the recycle code often dictates what the plastic is made of, I am not up on the codes but Pet bottles a re food grade, don't contain bisphenyl A (BPA) and are relatively good at not leaching plastic into their contents over long periods of time (source: Slow Death by Rubber Duck)

          Having said that, I believe PET is 1

        • highdealer on 16/05/2017 - 00:18

          @alvian: I am pretty sure Australia doesn't have a bs "plastic purity standard" anymore.
          https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2008B00620

          All Bunning spray bottle are either made from Polyethylene or Polypropylene both of which have no known health hazard.
          If you are really that anal about the type of plastic just use store your oil in a water bottle for 65c from woolly or coles and use the spray nozzle when you need to. You can even fit the nozzle straight on to most 1L oil bottle. That still gonna cost a whole lost less than buying this load of garbage for $6.

        And aren't most oils lighter, they float on top, than water?

        • soyea on 14/05/2017 - 20:31
          +4

          Oil is lighter but depending on temp the viscosity can be higher than water

          "Water is a polar molecule and has far stronger intermolecular forces than oil which mostly has Van der Waals interactions, but it has far smaller molecules than oil, so the molecules in water can move easily past each other without transferring much momentum between layers that are moving at different velocity - leading to relatively low viscosity at normal temperature and pressure.

          Oil is a mixture of larger and longer molecules than water, they are linear and cyclic multi-carbon/hydrogen chains, so the molecules tend to get tangled up with each other - leading to a larger transfer of momentum between layers having different velocities, and thus to a higher viscosity.

          As in oils there are very large molecules than water , so due to inertia they show more resistance to flow there are more vicious and thick."

        • betheball on 14/05/2017 - 20:48

          @soyea:Thanks for the lesson, but you bought up the weight as a problem… You should have talked about viscosity

      My one clogged up and shoots a jet instead of mist. Now I just spray oily-detergent water for fun.

        That happened mine, shot a jet sideways after not too long. Sat there for a while unused, then decided to empty it out and flush with water and came good again. Was using EVOO in it before, but now use light olive oil for frying and hasn't clogged again.

        Only thing is it sprays in more of a fan pattern than a mist like the aerosol ones, think that's how it was before it clogged, but interested to know if others are the same.

        • ruprectaus on 15/05/2017 - 07:01

          but now use light olive oil for frying

          Dear lord why. Olive Oil os for salads, dipping, making sauces, making pestos etc not for frying, it's smoke point temperature is too low. Rice Bran Oil, Avocado Oil etc are suitable for frying.

        • GregMonarch on 15/05/2017 - 08:24
          +4

          @ruprectaus:

          OIL SMOKE POINTS
          Extra light olive: 242°C
          Rice Bran: 254°C
          Avocado: 271°C

          Obviously the smoke point of extra light olive is only 12 degrees less than rice bran. So if you did fry with extra light olive up to its smoke point, then it's highly likely you'd be over the smoke point of rice bran too. (And vice versa… If you're below the smoke point of rice bran, you're probably below the smoke point of extra light olive.)

          Anyone that cooks at that high a temp is likely burning all oil types. (And charring the food to inedible status anyway.)

          I use a portable induction cooker, and use olive oil depending on the food.

          e.g. Chicken breast, on the portable induction cooker, in a cast iron frying pan, with a stainless steel saucepan lid over the top, needs "120" for a few seconds to brown the surface. Then down one step on the keypad is "80". Saucepan lid goes on top, about 8 minutes first side, 6 minutes second side. (The highest setting is "240", and if I cook a steak even without that lid on, "80" isn't enough to turn the surface of steak brown.)

        • bamzero on 15/05/2017 - 09:58

          @ruprectaus:

          Pretty much what GregMonarch said. EVOO in my food, extra light in the frying pan. The smoke point isn't an issue for me.

        • bamzero on 15/05/2017 - 11:06

          @GregMonarch:

          That reminds me of when I borrowed a portable induction cooker to try out, Chinglish was a bit of a laugh so had to dig up a pic…

        • betheball on 15/05/2017 - 13:46

          @bamzero:

          Same, although I deep fry in olive all the time… 180 or less is all you need

          @GregMonarch:
          GregMonarch, may I ask what brand of induction cooker you are using? I bought a $49 el cheapo from coughcough The Reject shop and only discovered later that it powers on & off to achieve its "precision temperature control". Now I only use it to boil water, soups and stews. Am on the lookout for one with TRUE AND PROPER (ie. analog temperature variation instead of just searingly hot and no heat in the next instance) temperature control.

          @HN Professional: Mine is probably the same, considering it was about that same price. I just did an ebay search to find it for you. Mine is the same as this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/351000391241

          I got that one because I hate those cheap and nasty touchpad buttons. This one is an all-glass top (so it works like a touch-lamp). Had it for a couple of years now. Use it probably 4 days a week with either a cast iron frying pan, or a flat bottomed wok. Isn't so great using the wok, but still better than the old-style coil type stove hotplates.

          @GregMonarch:
          "Isn't so great using the wok, but still better than the old-style coil type stove hotplates."
          A big yup! I moved from a gas place to a unit with those accursed hotplates! Didn't know I could hate an inanimate object so much!

          Now my diet is suffering because I'd much rather eat takeaway, or fish fingers/pies in the oven, rather than deal with those %$#@! unresponsive hotplates.

          Have narrowed it down to either a New Wave unit (which I've seen on TV cooks shows such as 'Ben's Menu') or a NuWave PIC (of which the infomercial lady explicitly said, "It doesn't turn on and off to maintain temperature like those other units"). Anyway, thanks for your info.

        • GregMonarch on 16/05/2017 - 07:46

          @kiitos: Hm… Not so sure about that one. Sure they weren't employing the usual tradesmen dry humour? (Where they say the same joke so often, they forget to make it obvious they're being funny.)

          @HN Professional:

          Or one of these:

          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/112307616826
          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/132017829972
          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261579906098

          The last two probably not inside. (Who cares about the gas inside thing, just open a window. But their intense heat might mark the ceiling if you remove the wok and forget to turn it down.) I used the first type inside before getting the induction. But the bottle/hose is a pain, and you get more oil splatter on surrounding surfaces than the induction. Good if you have somewhere outside though, where it doesn't matter WHEN the oil spits on the ground.

          Because of the induction not being as good as a gas burner (when using a wok), I tend to cook less quantity of food, to keep the heat up. I cooked too much quantity before anyway.

          Nearly-instant heat with the induction. So I rarely use stove hotplates now - they always seem to make more mess too. Real estate comes to inspect and the stove is always clean now, lol.

          I made sweet & sour pork last night in 3/4 of the time to walk to the takeaway and back. And ~ $10 cheaper.

          1. Defrost 150g cubed pork

          2. 1/2 coffee cup of dry rice into this in microwave for 12 minutes: https://www.woolworths.com.au/Shop/Search/Products?searchTer…

          3. While rice cooks, whisk together:

          • 1/4 cup cornflour
          • 1/4 cup self-raising flour
          • salt and pepper
          • 1 egg
          • little water - to make thickish batter

          Then:

          • Drop pork into batter
          • Fry in oil
          • Drain on paper towel
          • Transfer oil to a saucepan to cool
          • Warm 1/2 a jar of kanton sweet & sour sauce into wok to warm it (add water if becomes too thick)
          • Put plate on top of rice cooker, flip both over, bang on bottom
          • Pork onto rice
          • Sauce over top
          • Put that bit of paper towel into a funnel to 'filter' oil back into bottle after it cools

          I might get a more expensive one with finer temperature steps if this one breaks. The temp steps can be a pain to start with. (Too high on this setting, too low on that one.) But after using it for a while, you realise you probably cooked on too high a temp before anyway, learn to use lower temps with a lid instead for most things - after initially browning meat. (Lid is no good if it's something like a pork chop - the fat just steams.)

        • HN Professional on 16/05/2017 - 09:10

          @GregMonarch:
          Before I moved to my current hotplate hell, I had considered buying this to try on my gas ring (I regret not doing it in hindsight).
          https://www.wokmon.com/

          Oh well…have gotten used to utilising more of my pressure cooker now (the poor little wok has been relegated to a little corner, oxidising with rust [on the outside], waiting to be revived again with a true & reliable heat source).

          @HN Professional: Yeah, I was just in a hurry, and sweet & sour is about the only thing like that that tastes reasonable from a jar. I more mentioned it because the entire thing took the same 12 minutes as it took to cook the rice. (Apart from washing up, grr…)

          +1

          @HN Professional: Oh - and I watched the video on that site… I think they take the 'breath of the wok' thing too far. Many poor folks over in china don't have multi-thousand-BTU burners. Some communities might have a rocket stove formed in mud to take a huge wok/saucepan. But many just cook over fire pits on the ground inside their shacks, lol. Really high heat does make it easier, but you can still get close by not cooking tonnes of food at once. (Smaller amounts of food won't suck out all the heat, turning it into a soggy boiling mess.)

          I would get very similar results to chinese takeaways with that first double-ring gas burner (and using correct ingredients). Say 90%.

          The induction is a bit lower than that standard again, say 80%. But it's a tradeoff because it's better than standing outside in the cold and dark (thanks to our stupid government that keeps changing the clocks).

    I've used a couple of these. They're fairly decent and have a wide but narrow stream for more control than your garden spray. Aside from that, not much more different than your garden spray.

    That being said, viscosity affects the garden sprayer more. If the oil is too viscous, you don't get a good spray from the garden sprayer.
