Quick Tip: Make your own cooking spray

Today I thought I'd share a great tip that really helps make cooking dairy/soy free easier - especially baking.

As many of you probably already know, cooking sprays, such as PAM, contain soy lecithin, so they're off limits. This is a real bummer, since most baking recipes call for cooking sprays to grease the pans.

Well, no problem! Simply invest in an inexpensive oil sprayer, like the Misto, and fill it with canola oil, and you're good to go. These sprayers aren't great, but you can get one for under $10, so who cares if they break or don't work perfectly. Other than having to pump mine repeatedly to coat a large area, I've been happy with mine. So happy baking!

  4. I was really excited to find a cooking spray without any soy in it the other day! Manischewitz 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cooking Spray. I found it at a kosher supermarket. (I'm pretty sure Kosher-for-Passover foods are always soy free and often dairy free as well.)
