Best Glass Oil Sprayers – A Healthier Choice
Howdy, my amazing Texans. Oh, how I missed y’all. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. And what’s so special about Thanksgiving – FOOD! kidding, haha. It’s actually everything that you are grateful for. But talking about food, did you know that accelerated aging, raised cholesterol, obesity, and even cancer, to name a few, can be caused by the intake of rancid oil?
What container you use does matter in on how quickly the oil gets rancid, because some containers keep the oil in contact with air in some way or other. Not the mention how harmful the materials some companies use are. Therefore, I say glass oil sprayers are the best option.
Taking health into consideration, Texaslyf brings you the list of the BEST glass oil sprayers that you must have to 1) Store oil properly 2) Keep it handy 3)Keep oil from getting rancid
Now, when I speak about an oil sprayer I’m referring generally to olive oil sprayer or an olive oil mister as it is what people use the most, but you can use it for any oil of your choice. Water or any kind of juice, even wine will do too.
Our list includes the best of all Amazon oil misters/sprayers. We have taken price, quality, and durability into consideration while making this list. Hope you’ll find it useful.
1. TrendPlain 16oz Olive Oil Dispenser Bottle for Kitchen – 2 in 1 Oil Dispenser and Oil Sprayer for Cooking
(read below before clicking the link, I have something special for you that might save you $$$ 😉)
- Dimensions: 4.08″ (W) x 7.21″ (H)
- Capacity: about 16 ounces (15.8oz)
- Material: BPA-free. Glass.
This oil sprayer, with an average of 4.5-star rating on Amazon from about 8.4k people, made it to the top of our list because it’s 2 in 1. It can be used as an oil dispenser as well as an oil sprayer. It’s BPA-free, and the body is made of glass. It’s sold with a lifetime of support. Each spray dispenses approximately 0.15g of oil. The nozzle delivers a good wide angle, just press the spray quickly, and you’ll get a fine mist, while pressing it slower will give you a thin stream. Just slide back the button and tilt the container to switch it to an oil dispenser. Oh and It must only be hand-washed.
It has a sturdy handle making it easy to use. It works well when you wanna spray while using the air fryer. Hence, it made to the top of our list and we highly recommend it BUT DO NOT BUY IT!! yes! heard that right! At the time of writing this, this product is about $15.80.
This is my love for y’all. Buy this Oil Sprayer instead. It’s way cheaper. It’s the same product but at a lower price just under a different brand name which is quite common on Amazon nowadays. I never want my awesome Texans to ever go in loss, only want y’all to profit.
Pros:
- Budget Friendly
- BPA-Free
- 2 in 1 (Dispenser + spray in one)
- Real easy to use
- No Aerosol
Cons:
- Not Dishwasher friendly
2. Flairosol Olivia
- Dimensions: 3.7″ (W) x 8.7″ (H)
- Capacity: ~4.9 oz
- Material: Premium Glass.
Flairosol Olivia is a real premium oil spray, made of glass. With a 4.6-star rating on average from about seven thousand people, this oil sprayer landed second on our list because of its leakproof technology. Not saying others will leak but this has extra protection. It even has a gold leaf design which makes it aesthetically appealing.
One full stroke sprays approximately 1gm (0.04oz) of cooking oil. Like others in the list, it is a non-aerosol, meaning no harmful gas is used to pump the oil. This sprayer must strictly be washed by hand.
Pros:
- Leakproof
- BPA-Free
- Premium look
- Easy to use
- No Aerosol
Cons:
- Not Dishwasher friendly
3. Misto Oil Sprayer (Frosted Glass, 7.75 Inch)
- Dimensions: 2″ (W) x 7.5″ (H)
- Capacity: ~3.2 oz
- Material: Frosted Glass. BPA Free.
On the third place on our list, we have Misto Oil Sprayer. Misto is quite a famous brand for oil sprayers. With a 3.9-star rating on Amazon from about on average 3k people, Misto Oil Sprayer (Frosted Glass) is a BPA-Free Sprayer and has a stylish minimalistic design. It’s easy to use with a pump-style cap featuring a 2-step operation-Simply pump the container, then press the valve on the pressurized sprayer for an even Mist.
This Oil Sprayer is one of the BEST mist makers among others on the list. Remember, it is a product that can only be hand washed, so not suitable for dishwashers.
Pros:
- Creates a good mist
- BPA-Free
- Minimalistic design
- Easy to use
- No Aerosol
Cons:
- Not Dishwasher friendly
4. Nikkier Oil Sprayer (100ml Olive Oil Spritzer)
- Dimensions: 2″ (W) x 2″ (H)
- Capacity: ~3.3 oz
- Material: Glass.
In the 4th place, we have Nikkier Oil Sprayer for cooking. The best part about it is that it has a measuring scale along its body, so you know how much oil you have added to your dish. It’s one of those products that are perfect for air fryers. However, please remember, It’s a handwash-only product too, meaning, don’t ever put it in the dishwasher. It has an average rating of 4.4 stars from about three thousand people on Amazon.
Pros:
- Has measuring scale vertically
- Clean look
- Easy to use
- No Aerosol
Cons:
- Not Dishwasher friendly
5. Norbase Oil Sprayer
- Dimensions: 4″ (W) x 7.4″ (H)
- Capacity: ~3.3 oz
- Material: Glass.
Starting with the best part – you get two! Yup, it’s a pack of two. I understand they are small and can contain just about 3.3 oz of oil each, but it’s really good to two sprayers. One for the cooking oil while other for any other oil/juice you would want to have a sprayer for. Also, those two would really look good on a Thanksgiving table with oil in one sprayer and vinegar in the other. It’s nice and compact and looks good from the aesthetic point of view. Although being glass, like almost every other item on the list, it’s prone to shatter to pieces in case it happens to fall from a height.
It’s good for air fryers. It has an average of rating 4.2 stars from about 8 thousand people! Oh, and it’s BPA-Free. Plus you get a brush to clean along with a funnel.
Not dishwasher friendly and should be washed by hand only.
Pros:
- Has vertical measuring scale
- BPA-Free
- Cleaning kit provided
- Easy to use
- No Aerosol
Cons:
- Not Dishwasher friendly
- Small size
6. Prepara Oil Sprayer
- Dimensions: 7.5″ (W) x 2.5″ (H)
- Capacity: ~6.7 oz
- Material: Glass.
With an average rating of 4 stars from about 1.7k people on Amazon, Prepara, another popular name in the world of oil sprayers, stands in 6th place. It’s made up of glass and requires no pump or aerosol. The spray works well but It is not that good of a “mister”. You can get a light layer when you press the trigger real quick but the mist won’t be as good as the sprayers mentioned above, and hence it’s last on our list. But It’s dishwasher-friendly, sturdy and looks good asthetically.
Pros:
- Dishwasher friendly
- Easy to use
- No Aerosol
Cons:
- Doesn’t create that great of a mist
- Pricey
So that was our list of the BEST and healthy glass oil sprayers in the market that you should surely get. But, hey, we have a bonus product for you as a thank you for taking the time to read.
Bonus
Evo 18/8 Stainless Steel Oil Sprayer
- Dimensions: 3.5″W x 7.75″H
- Capacity: ~16 oz
- Material: Stainless Steel.
Now, I know what you are wondering, Stainless steel in the list? Yes, while we are completed with our best glass oil sprayers. I wanted to add something for those who have kids or are not good at handling stuff in the kitchen (like me). For us, a stainless steel option can be a safe choice. Yes, Glass remains the best and I’ll recommend glass over steel and way over plastic all the time, but if you wanna have a stainless steel option, you should definitely go for this one. In my opinion, it is the best for BBQ parties.
Evo is another popular name in the Oil Sprayer industry. But I highly suggest you only get the stainless steel one as Evo has plastic sprayer options too. This sprayer has an average of 3.7-star rating on Amazon from around 3.3k people. It is top-rack dishwasher safe, but the trigger should be washed by hand with the help of water.
Pros:
- Strong
- Beautiful design
- Easy to use
- No Aerosol
- Bottle can be washed in dishwasher
Cons:
- Need to wash the trigger by hand
By the way, I would like to mention that all of the oil sprayers say they have an anti-clogging feature. But according to me, it being oil, clogging is something that will happen with time if the sprayer isn’t cleaned from time to time.
What to look for?
Now, that you know about all the best glass oil sprayers the market has to offer, It now totally depends on you to choose the right oil sprayer for you or your family. You can choose any from the above list, but I would love to share what all things to look for when purchasing a good durable oil sprayer.
1. Material
This is so important. With a lot of toxic materials being used in the market for storing food items and commodities, it becomes important that we be more vigilant about what products we use to store our food items in. And, if you are ok it, I highly recommend glass oil sprayers. For any reason you don’t wanna do the glass, go for stainless steel, but never plastic!
2. Cost
Even though a good quality oil sprayer might be a bit more expensive than others, but please see that the product you are purchasing really is worth the money you are spending. Saying this because there are a lot of sprayers out there that are just being sold at a real high price for literally no reason.
On the other hand, please don’t go for real cheap sprayers either. Most of the time they won’t be as durable and you’ll probably need to get another one in the following weeks causing you to spend more money anyway. So it’s better to use that extra buck to get a more durable item. (By the way the oil sprayers we mentioned in the list are all durable)
3. Size
When talking about oil sprayers, size matters. Not saying you have to get an oil sprayer of a certain size, but it all depends on your use and which one you would like. If you use a lot of oil in your cooking a larger size is better so you won’t have to refill it every now and then.
4. Ease of Use
Each sprayer is activated or used in a certain way. For instance, the Misto Oil Sprayer mentioned above, produces one of the best mist, but it needs to be pumped before spraying. It’s easy, doesn’t take much time but it needs pumping. Whereas, the TrendPlain Oil Dispenser is one of the simplest to use and easiest to switch between a dispenser and a sprayer.
5. Asthetics
Oil sprayers/ Oil containers must be stored in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight, perhaps in your kitchen cabinet. But generally, the sprayers would be sitting on our kitchen counter for quick and easy access. Although not that big of a deal but getting an oil dispenser that looks good and premium can be preferable choice.
FAQs
1. What is the best oil sprayer to get?
TrendPlain Oil Dispenser . It’s cheap high quality and super easy to use. If you’d like something cheaper, go with this Oil Dispenser instead. It’s the same as TrendPlain Oil Dispenser, but cheaper.
2. What do you use oil mister for?
Oil Misters can be used to add a mist or just a thin layer of oil over your salad, pan, etc.
3. Why not use plastic oil sprayers?
Even though there are oil misters made of BPA-free plastic, it’s always a healthier choice to go with glass, because apart from keeping the container air-tight, the glass oil misters don’t let the oil smell foul. Plus glass keeps everything more sanitary.
4. Do I need an oil sprayer?
It’s not mandatory but it helps to control how much oil goes into your food. Which is a great help if you are having a low-calorie diet. Plus you save oil by not adding excessive amounts accidentally. It keeps you from kitchen disasters like those times when you accidentally pour extra oil onto your food.
5. What Oil Mister is best for BBQ?
Evo 18/8 Stainless Steel Oil Sprayer. Its steel body will prevent the breaking of the container, just in case the oil spray bottle happens to fall down by the grill. It will prevent anything worse from happening in case there are fire accidents, as the oil in the bottle will not spill out, as it would have if a glass oil spritzer was used.
6. What oils can you put in an oil sprayer?
You can put any type of oil or other liquid in your oil sprayer. But it’s always recommended to wash the container thoroughly if planning to add a different type of oil in it later on. Plastics retain the odor and make oil taste funny so it is always recommended to use a glass oil sprayer.
7. Can you use a regular sprayer for oil?
Yes, but the regular ones don’t last long and will have issues with clogging and spraying after some time. But the ones mentioned here in the list are durable and made to last longer than the regular ones. None are aerosols, so there is no need to get a new sprayer each coming month.
8. Where should you store your oil mister?
It’s best to keep your oil mister in a dark place away from sunlight. Also where the temperature isn’t very high. Make sure to clean the nozzle after every use and clean the bottle regularly to keep the spray working for months.
9. How do you clean your oil sprayer and how often should you clean it?
To keep it clean and lasting long, you should clean it regularly, at least once a month should be the rule of the thumb. The packaging in which you get your sprayer will have the details on how to wash the sprayer, etc. But generally, fill up the bottle with warm soapy water and give it a good shake. Use a bottle cleaner if needed. Rinse with clean water a few times until the soap is all gone and let it dry. Remember, not to fill sprayer with oil if the bottle hasn’t completely dried first.
10. Are oil sprayers better than readymade cooking oil sprays?
Indeed. Oil sprayers are better because you exactly know what’s in your sprayer and you can fill it with any oil of your choice. Plus our list of sprayers are all no aerosol so they don’t need to be purchased every other month.
11. What oil sprayer is better for air frying- Trend Plain or Nikkier Oil Spray or Norbase Oil Spray?
They are all good for air frying, so it totally depends on your choice and how much you are willing to invest for the oil sprayer. A good mid-range product would be Nikkier.
12. What are aerosol sprays?
Aerosol spray are sprays that use a dispensing mechanism that releases a mist from the can or bottle. A propellant (it can be any gas the company chooses) is installed under pressure in the can or the bottle. And when the valve or the trigger is pushed, the pressurized propellant is forced to gush out of the small opening creating a mist. Aerosol sprays are not at all a good option when it comes to Oil Sprayers or any other food sprayers for that matter (although it is sad that they are being used.) They can really affect your health, so try not to use aerosol sprays.
