How much oil
does the MISTO® spray?
Your MISTO® will spray approximately
1/4 teaspoon per second of spray. Based on 120 calories/tablespoon
of olive oil this equals 10 calories per second of spray.
How can
I tell if my MISTO® is Stainless or Aluminum?
The Stainless MISTO® will have
a flat silver bottom with writing. You will notice that the inside
of the Stainless is plastic. This is an FDA approved food grade
plastic bottle insert that will protect the oil in the canister.
This is also the same for our older Brushed Aluminum model. This
model will have a black bottom with writing and a plastic bottle
insert.
The new Brushed Aluminum will have a concaved
bottom with no writing. If you look into the canister you will notice
a gold/yellow coloring on the inside rather than a plastic bottle.
This coloring is a FDA approved food grade liner that will prevent
any of the liquids from coming in contact with the actual aluminum.
The outside of the canister also has a clear coating so you are
not actually handling raw aluminum.
Can I put other oils
in the MISTO®?
While the MISTO® was designed
for olive oil it is not limited to just olive oil. You may put any
kind of oil in the MISTO®. If you have oils
with herbs, you should strain them first in a small strainer or
cheese cloth to separate any particles that could clog the MISTO®.
Also, the MISTO® is not just limited to oils
either. You may put any type of cooking liquid in the MISTO®
as long as nothing is suspended in it. For instance you may put
some orange juice in the MISTO® as long as
there is no pulp. This makes for a juicy tang on chicken. How about
bourbon for a bourbon glaze on a turkey or a powdered ginger and
soy sauce mixture for fish. Other liquids include sherry or marsala
wine, lemon or lime juice, vinegars or even an oil and vinegar mixture
for a salad. Be cooking creative! (Using something acidic like
vinegar it's advisable to rub a little oil on the pump tube for
lubrication)

How often should
I clean my MISTO®?
Your MISTO® should be cleaned
approximately every 6-8 weeks or every time you refill. Please refer
to our cleaning instructions.
Can I put my MISTO®
in the dishwasher?
No, the MISTO® is not dishwasher
safe. Please refer to our cleaning
instructions.
Do I need to un-pressurize
my canister every time I put it away?
No, you will not need to release the air from
the MISTO® every time you are done using it.
Should I keep my
MISTO® in the refrigerator?
It is not advised to keep your MISTO®
in the refrigerator as oil will congeal or solidify in the sprayer
and this will compromise the mist.
Can Snapi be used
with hot food?
Yes, Snapi can be used with either
hot or cold foods and is dishwasher safe on the top shelf.
