Secret Weapon: Oil Mister

What's the one ingredient you use more than anything else? I'm willing to bet that at least 95% of you said salt, pepper, or olive oil. With olive oil at the top of my list, you can imagine how much I go through within a month. The sad truth is that probably about half of the olive oil I was going through was totally wasted. I have that frantic, heavy-handed pour that sends a quick stream of olive oil speeding into my pan, salad bowl, meat, etc. I can't help but always accidentally pour double the amount of olive oil that I should, meaning expensive olive oil wasted and extra fat added to the dish. Over the past few months I had been hearing a lot about pump oil misters, sparking my curiosity to try out this convenient new kitchen tool. 

After spotting one for a mere $9 in the housewares section at Winners, the time had come for me to give it a try! To set up your oil mister, simply add 1/3 cup oil of your choice (I chose my go-to extra virgin olive oil that I use for cooking), screw the top back on, pump the top about 20 or so times and, TA DA! You now have a steady mist of olive oil at your fingertips whenever you need it! I love using it to give a pan a thin coat of olive oil for cooking eggs, veggies, sandwiches, onions, etc. It's also great for coating doughs (like pizza or focaccia dough) and salads. I love that I'm finally able to control exactly how much oil I use each time I cook. I can't believe how much I have grown to rely on this tool, using it for every single meal, and even more, I am in total disbelief at how little oil I have used up since it's purchase months ago! This is one tool that I think every cook should keep in their kitchen! You'd be crazy not to arm yourself with this secret weapon! 

Check out my last featured Secret Weapon, Asian Stir Fry Oil, and learn why I like to arm myself with Secret Weapons for a successful battle in my kitchen.

Personally, I don't agree with when or how the US went into Iraq. We should have at the very least finished in Afghanistan first. Unfortunately, one of the few things Saddam did right was he was very effective at keeping Al Quida out of Iraq, and now they've moved in.
