What is Pam Cooking Spray?
Pam Cooking Spray is an aerosol cooking oil made to coat pans and baking dishes with a thin layer that helps food release more easily. Its neutral taste is meant to stay in the background, making it useful for eggs, pancakes, vegetables and baked goods rather than as a finishing oil.
In the United States, it is commonly used to prepare skillets, sheet pans and muffin tins; elsewhere, it can be a handy alternative to brushing on oil. Although often marketed as calorie-free when used as a spray, it contains oil, so the amount matters: the nutrition table lists 800 calories per 100 g. Use a brief, even spray for a light coating, and follow the can’s directions.
