18/8 Stainless Steel, Non-Aerosol for Olive, Cooking Oils, and Vinegars, Silver, 16-Ounce Capacity

I have tried a few of the pressurized oil spray bottles, looking to replace the cans of spray cooking oil I have to buy every month or two. Spray oil is an essential tool in my kitchen: it cuts down on the amount of fat in my cooking (by not pouring in oil or melting butter) and helps cook everything evenly. But the amount of waste generated in the form of a semi-recyclable can, combined with the pressurizing agent, leads me to look for a reusable alternative. The pressurized bottles (such as the Misto and its imitators) all function more or less the same way: you fill it with oil and, using a pump of some kind, pressurize it with air to spray it. The problems manifest after a few months. Sometimes the nozzles clog easily. Sometimes the head is poorly made and breaks or doesn't fit well. Many of the bottles don't achieve good enough pressure to really spray the oil evenly. Others never had a good spray pattern to begin with. In every case I went back to buying a disposable can of spray oil, which reliably coated my pans every night for dinner. The Evo Oil Sprayer fixes every one of these problems, and looks good doing it. Instead of pressurizing the bottle to spray beforehand, it has a long-throw trigger that compresses the oil on the spot. This seemingly minor design difference is huge. The bottle is much simpler, with fewer moving parts, fewer gaskets, and fewer stress points that can suffer breakage. The bottle is sturdy stainless steel instead of plastic that's likely to get brittle over time in a kitchen near the stove, which is a huge plus. The nozzle is large and reasonably easy to clean, though you might need to get a skewer or toothpick to really clean it out from time to time. From the first moment I used it, I knew this bottle was going to be superior to the Misto-style bottles. The Evo is also superior to a typical plastic spray bottle that was designed for water or cleaner or what have you. These bottles weren't designed for a thicker liquid like soybean oil, and it shows: the spray pattern is often uneven, and they simply don't get enough pressure behind the oil to distribute it well on the pan or the food. The Evo was built specifically for this purpose in the handle, the head, and the nozzle, and for a few dollars more than a generic plastic bottle that you'd find under your sink, you get a purpose-built device that performs far better. The one trick to the Evo is that it sprays in a fan-line pattern, not in a circle. That is to say, when you spray it, you need to draw it from top to bottom or side to side to get coverage of your pan or your food. It differs in this way from a can of spray oil. It only takes a few tries to figure out how this works, but there is a touch of a learning curve with it. Still, it's worth noting in a review. Overall I am very pleased with the Evo bottle, and it is a welcome addition to my kitchen. I have only had it for a little while, but I anticipate that I can finally stop buying those cans of spray oil at long last. Update June 2021: The Evo bottle is still working very well and I have no complaints. However, I can say that there are a few circumstances where it can't replace the disposable spray oil. In a situation that needs a very fine mist - such as lightly coating popcorn to hold a seasoning - the Evo bottle isn't as useful as disposable spray oil. But for everyday use when cooking, it's great. The durability, ease of clean-up, and powerful spray action are all still in evidence eight months later.

Let me say upfront. I strongly recommend that you “do not buy” this bottle. Please note. Other reviewers such a myself (verified purchasers) are commenting on the same negative thing. Yes, the sprayer looks nice & sprays as advertised. But, there is a major major major “10 X major flaw.” The sprayer nozzle will not stay on. Read again. The sprayer nozzle will not stay on. It popped off on and the bottle and oil fell all over the floor. I thought it was a fluke. I cleaned up the oil mess. Now, I used the sprayer again and the same thing happened! The nozzle popped off and the bottle fell to the floor. Yes, more oil on the floor. The threads are stripped on the “sprayer nozzle” so the sprayer nozzle won't stay on. To test my theory about the sprayer nozzle being stripped, I tried to screw it on another same size the bottle. Again m, the same thing the nozzle will not attach and pops off. It pops off when you squeeze the handle to spray. If you read other negative reviews, you will see similar comments. This product is defective. Period. I DO NOT recommend that you buy this sprayer. It’s not just me, this sprayer bottle is defective, by manufacturer.

Love this sprayer.

There are good things about this sprayer but these are the bad things: The nozzle is very difficult to screw onto the base. I've never gotten it to seat properly, it seems like the threads don't match up at all. I was expecting a fine even spray. What you mostly get is a splotchy squirt. You have to squeeze the pump trigger really hard to get the full mist spray, but going that hard it only sprays for 0.1 seconds, negating the spray because it's all just going to land in one spot. You have to sweep it across what you're spraying really fast to get it to evenly coat, and that mostly made it go outside the pan. The benefit of aerosol/pressure pump sprays is a light touch gets you a continuous fine mist. This does not do that at all. The pump needs more pressure and a longer spray time and then it would be great.

this is solid, reusable kitchen tool that makes it easy to spray cooking oils, fan-style spray help you distribute oil evenly. Since its Stainless Steel very easy to clean and not as fragile as glass

Does exactly what I needed it to do -- spray cooking oils. With this you end up using less oil. Bought a second one. One for olive oil and one for canola oil.

Do Not Buy A Dangerously Flawed Product Do not buy this product. I was genuinely excited to use it, but this poorly machined bottle has been nothing but a hazard and a costly mess. The core problem is the screw cap ridge, which is simply too shallow. This design flaw means the bottle will just fall apart "out of the blue." I've learned this the hard way—three times, in three different locations. The first incident resulted in the entire bottle of oil ruining my pavers. A terrible, expensive mess. Thinking it might have been a fluke, I refilled and continued using it, only for it to fall apart again in the kitchen, creating yet another large spill. Most recently, it failed a third time in the prep area. A product designed to safely contain liquids should not spontaneously disassemble. This is a fundamentally flawed and dangerously unreliable product. Save yourself the cleanup, the loss of expensive ingredients, and the frustration. Look elsewhere.

I spent a long time reviewing oil spray bottles. I chose this due to it being a dark colour and metal. The dark colour helps protect the oil and I try to avoid plastic where this is possible. As per other reviews, the spray function of this is good and works properly. Only slight niggles are that it does seem to get oily quite easily and the 'straw' for the spray does not completely reach the bottom, so it doesn't seem to use up the dregs. The bottle is a good size for fitting in the cupboard, although cannot fit a full bottle of oil in one go. I have not tried cleaning this yet, but do not imagine it would be too difficult. It has been brought on a holiday and seemed to stand up well to bring transported and was fairly durable. Although this was quite a lot of money, I am happy that I made the right selection and would recommend to others. The spray function does really help you use less oil and control this better. I liked using this to spray vegetables with oil for the barbeque. This was far less messy and way quicker than doing this by hand.

I do appreciate the non-toxic materials used, but unfortunately the spraying mechanism is horrendous. Plastic bottles 1/10 the price spray evenly. This one spits random blobs of oil. Sadly, that makes this product a waste of money.

After some user related errors, this has been a great tool to use with my Air Fryer. Zero leaks, good spray pattern and great build quality.

Cumple con su función. Muy buen diseño, bien empacado y perfecto para el aceite de oliva por ser metálico.

It's very nicely designed and It works really well but I only tested it for a short while to verify the effectiveness because it arrived partially broken and I could cut myself in the broken plastic with continued used, so some more thought come be taken in terms of the packaging, to withstand shipping abuse.
