This simple spray bottle on Amazon is a real changer in cooking

I am cautious about kitchen gadgets-mainly because many gadgets feel like finding solutions to problems. This is an avocado slicer that can work like a knife; there is a tool that can remove corn from the cob and do the work of…a knife again.
But sometimes gadgets make sense. For example, a garlic press is technically a small tool, but it is clearly still useful for most home cooks.
So I am here to tell you an injector-on the surface it is a small tool-if it is very basic, it is worthwhile and helpful.
First of all, why buy fuel injectors when cooking spray, for example, Pam exists? Well, first of all, because cooking spray bottles are wasteful and expensive, and can be dangerous for those responsible for recycling or disposing of them. In addition, cooking sprays are generally not suitable for high-temperature cooking. It smoked and turned into an unpleasant crude black in the pot. However, a drop of rapeseed oil or grapeseed oil can withstand extremely high temperatures.
However, many injectors look terrible and there is no better word. They fogged up and actually leaked, but it seemed difficult to spray a good spray.
Then I stumbled upon this sprayer and a video that seemed to show that it distributes a wide and even flow of oil. As someone who does a lot of air frying for work and cooks eggs most of the time while working at home, I can reduce my cooking spray usage.
I ordered a $16.99 sprayer from Amazon and it arrived in a few days. As far as I know, the NGECORS injector is a typical, random Amazon gadget, which means it is part of an invented brand shipped from China. NGECORS is a brand under Hunan Soft Power Information Technology Co., Ltd., headquartered in China. In any case, it is basically unknown, but we buy too many things online.
It comes with some rubber labels-I think this will prove useful if you have multiple sprayers-and a beautiful, collapsible funnel for filling with oil. The funnel works very well and it is easy to load the sprayer.
I used the sprayer to accomplish multiple tasks: oiling the air fryer, frying eggs, and preparing roasts. It accomplishes all tasks well. The sprayer has three settings, which are basically equivalent to direct spray and two-stage spray. Except for the mist function, there is really no use.
Does it make the perfect oil line like in the video? I mean…no, not exactly. Its process is not so smooth. But it can spray thick oil mist very well, and only a quarter teaspoon of oil is used for each trigger. Unless you have a good goal, you won’t cover the entire pan with one spray, but two or three may.
Some tips: It helps keep the bottle upright; pull the trigger hard; pay attention to your goals. The sprayer really makes the oil fly. It comes out quickly and horizontally, so my main problem is that I often miss the pan to use it. The wrong spray will be sprayed on the backsplash of my kitchen.
Otherwise, I find the sprayer simple, practical and easy to use. It does not spread oil like cooking spray in aerosol cans, but its effect is better than 90%. For me this is a huge victory.
I fry the egg on high heat until it is super crispy at the bottom to show that the sprayer works well and that the oil does not leave a burnt residue, which is different from cooking spray.
So yes, the sprayer is not the coolest gadget in the world. To be honest, it is basically a Windex bottle with oil. But being cool doesn’t necessarily mean useful. Sprayers are useful for two purposes: to reduce waste and to cook more efficiently. This is more than what you said about the avocado slicer. At 16.99 dollars, after spending a week or two, I think it’s worth the money.
