To finely spray a thin layer of warm liquid Coconut Oil? - Abstract backdrop of artwork representing grey paint tones with curved lines and tiny blots

Online, I've been seeing these metal, glass, poly/ plastic bottles that are said to keep & spray cooking/ edible oils.

Let's assume the oil is warm & liquid, not cold & frozen, which happens at times.

Does anyone here have any actual experience with using them? Are they able to create a Fine Spray of small droplets and hence ability to leave a well spread layer on incident surface.

If so, would it work well long term for using unrefined all natural cold pressed Coconut Oil, given its consistency, viscosity and stickiness.

Also, at times I use a warm/ hot water bath, in a larger vessel to warm the oil in its container for liquid usage. Any other ideas/ techniques so that I can do a warm liquid spray of it.

And what would / is its cleaning & maintenance routine be like?



Best Answer

(this is more a comment, as I haven't actually done what you're asking, but based on what I know ...)

I've used two types -- there are ones that you pressurize and then it works like an aerosol, and there are ones that are just your standard pump sprayers like you'd have on bottles of cleaning solutions where each trigger pull pumps a bit of liquid..

I prefer the pressurized ones, although over time they can get gummed up and may require a thorough warm soak to clean so they continue spraying well. I also prefer the clear ones, as you can see what the level is inside and orientation of the feed tube as you get towards the end.

... but I don't know how well it would work with coconut oil if you're in a cold climate. At the very least, I would treat it like a can of spray paint, and after using it, turn the container open and hold the spray button down until it's only blowing air. This way, you won't leave (as much) oil in the areas where it'd be difficult to melt it.

I'd also look for one of the sprayers with a filter at the end of it, but that doesn't mean that you could just warm up the bottom of the oil to use it -- you'd need to warm up the sides sufficiently for the air pressure to transfer and you'd need to make sure that the intake tube in the center is warmed up. (and the spraying mechanism, so it doesn't seize as you try to use it).
