Question 1

Has anyone tried using a plastic spray bottle instead? The kind that costs around $2 and has an adjustable nozzle from stream to mist?

Accepted Answer

YES!!  I use a pint size spray bottle, BUT!!  You have to add water to the oil to make it spray right. Say, 1/2 cup olive oil with 1/4 cup water. Also, be sure you SHAKE it right before you use it to mix the two. Works for ME!! See my Youtube video: "BEFORE you BUY an oil sprayer, WATCH THIS!!" 720p

Question 2

My new Misto does not spray.

Accepted Answer

Wanted to let you know this for the future also: My first Misto sprayer succumbed to the clogging described by some reviewers and no amount of soaking of the nozzle would fix it so I bought another. No doubt for the first one I read and promptly forgot the washing instructions on the little enclosed leaflet, but I followed them for my clogged sprayer and it was unclogged in less than half a minute: "To clean, fill bottle halfway with hot tap water and add one drop of liquid detergent (I used Dawn). Pump 15 times and then pray for 15 seconds. To rinse, repeat sequence above with fresh hot water. It is recommended you clean your MISTO every 6-8 weeks." There you have it.

Question 3

Sprays a mist so fine that most all of it goes up the vent, nothing on pan. Just when it starts to spray something out, pressure is gone. Ideas?

Accepted Answer

Chill the oil before using it in order to increase the viscosity. You can also temporarily turn off the vent or move the pan away from the cooktop before spraying. The latter suggestion is probably also the safest as atomized oil and open flames or extremely hot surfaces are not a good combination.

Question 4

Can it be used for salad dressings such as french, or ranch?

Accepted Answer

While I didn't try - I would doubt it.  It clogged with just olive oil, my guess it would clog with something thicker like salad dressing.
