This week, Works-for-Me Wednesday has gone negative. No, I don’t mean that it has launched a cut-throat campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. This week, WFMWers are telling readers what didn’t work for us.
A while back, I tried what I thought was a great way to save money on cooking spray. I bought an oil sprayer. I got a great deal on it at TJ Maxx and thought it would pay for itself in no time. What a brilliant idea. I couldn’t wait to share it in a WFMW tip.
Well, it didn’t exactly work out. At first, I noticed that my eggs were sticking. I thought, hey, I can handle this. It’s not so bad. Think of the savings.
But then, my baked goods were coming out all stuck to the pan and broken (from trying to get them out). And let me tell you, you don’t mess with this mama and her baked goods.
Long story short – don’t bother. I still use mine, but not for much. And never for baking. (I think this is a good time to mention that PAM for Baking – the kind with the flour in it – R.O.C.K.S! It works so well that when I was looking at the bottom of my banana bread the other day, the thing flew out of the pan onto the floor. But don’t let that deter you from using it; just be careful!)
That is what doesn’t work for me. Head on over to Rocks in My Dryer for more Doesn’t Work for Me Wednesday.
Those oil sprayers I think are a good idea in theory. But one of the ingredients in cooking spray is lecithin, (don’t worry it is a natural product), and that is what gives it it’s non-stick qualities.
Just can’t duplicate that with plain oil.
