Evo Oil Sprayer 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.

Great item! Stainless steel so no problem with breakage. I have purchased two, one as a gift.

like many people here, I had lid issues. The lid never stood in place and would pop off way too easily. It would be fine for a few hand squeezes but always managed to pop off in the wrong moment. Last time it popped up, resulted in the bottle hitting the floor and spilling oil everwhere, at which point, I threw in trash. I can only assume there is a bad batch that amazon keeps circulating when it is returned because I see many review on here from people that are not reporting this issue. It wound up in the trash since it's been quite a long time since purchase and no way to return it to amazon or manufacturer. If you do chance and purchase this item, be sure to throughly test it and return if you experience any issues within the first few days. also you might want to write "lid issues" on the packaging somewhere in case amazon decides to put it back in circulation and sell a faulty product to another customer.

The spray itself is uniform, about a 1/4 teaspoon, and really handy for coating parchment paper or a cast iron pan. I encountered the same problem with a loose top that popped off under usage/pressure, but I solved it. Plumber's tape. 5 clockwise turns around the steel threads and the spray head stays on perfectly. It's not amazing that this is necessary, but it's worked perfectly and we've had no further issues.

Works great without clogging. I also have a clear plastic Evo Oil Sprayer and it’s nice to be able to see the oil level - but I wanted additional protection for outdoor grilling so I chose the stainless steel version here. I am pleased so far with this product

This just came a few days ago and so far I've only used it a few times. I recently started using an air fryer and most recipes that have a batter coating say to mist the coating with oil to get a crisp coating. This sprayer delivers that mist and my air fryer fried chicken and fish & chips come out very nicely crisp. I purchased a less expensive sprayer on Amazon prior to buying this one and was very disappointed with that one as it sprays a stream rather than the mist I was looking for. This is also great for spraying pizza crusts to get that golden brown crust. So far this sprayer has delivered exactly what I was looking for. We'll see if it lasts, that really is the true test.

I have used an EVO oil sprayer made of plastic for several years with no problems. So, when I got my Pit Boss 36” Griddle , I decided to get a stainless steel unit to avoid a possibility of the bottle getting hot and possible melting, although I am very careful to not put any plastics on the side tables. But, as another reviewer has pointed out, the threads on the containers are not cut to very exacting standards and sprayer head will come loose and fall off. The container has fallen off twice in the last 5 times I have cooked on the griddle - luckily I was quick enough to catch it before any oil spilled out. I'll be returning the stainless steel unit and getting a couple more of the EVO plastics ones.

Awesome product! I have tried many of these...this is the best one!

A bit expensive, yet we use it every day. A great addition to our kitchen. Filling is super easy and the spray is wide angle.

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.
