Pam Sprays..

Well I'm sure most of us have used Pam cooking sprays, but I saw a commercial today and now I'm afraid of using Pam!

It is a commercial for Pam spray with flour in it! :blink: So I'm wondering if the regular stuff will stay remain gluten-free and free of contamination or not....anyone know?

I was thinking the same thing.....

Dunno, I have pretty much moved away from all those sprays now and use parchment paper, butter, or somthing else instead. Why add moe chemicals to your home cooked meal then you have to ?

According to the new Delphi list that just came out recently there is a note on there saying that Pam for Baking is NOT gluten free, however Pam NO STICK Spray is gluten-free.

If you are interested in using a spray, but are concerned about CC with Pam, you can get a non-aerosol spray bottle for spraying any cooking oil:

This particular one is pricey, but you can get cheaper versions. I have one that is plastic. :)

Yeah, I saw that add for the flour-added Pam on TV and was just thinking that I now have to make sure that nobody we know is using the stuff for any food they prepare that would otherwise be "safe". I rarely eat food made outside our house, and now I have just one more reason to stick with that mentality.

I know! Everyone in my family seems to use it :blink:

But IF the non-stick one is still safe, I'll just have to make sure mom at home even only buys that one!! I hate when companies do this!

Isn't it so frustrating!?! They tell you they're making it better, but they are only making it worse. Will regular spray bottles work for oil, or do I need a special one?

The Pam thing always made me nervous. I use Mazolas Pure Sprays. I particularly use the Canola Spray. There is no chemicals in it, and no wheat. I like it.

It's a "special" design where you pump the lid to create pressure, and then use the spray nozzle for a fine mist. These bottles are typically sold in specialty kitchen stores, but you may be able to find them in dept. stores as well. The bottle I use is called Open Original Shared Link.

That's what I use.

That Pam with wheat has been around for over a year. You just have to check the label to make sure you're getting the right kind. I've found the aerosol pumps for your own oil get all messed up from time to time and send out a stream rather than a spray. Maybe a pricey one of those is the answer. I think mine was pretty cheap.

I've been told that a regular spray bottle will work fine. I haven't tried this myself, but I'm pretty sure it would work.

I keep forgetting to pick up a spray bottle, I need to do that on Monday. If I remember, I'll try it and let you know :)

It works!! I bought a cheap spray bottle, filled it w/olive oil, and presto!! All for less then a dollar :D I had to kinda fiddle with the nozzle till I got the right setting (it's one of those that you turn the nozzle and it changes the density of the mist) but after a minute or two I got it; and it works beautifully :)

Thanks for the tip! :) I was just thinking today (when I saw the Pam commercial) that there ought to be a cheap way that I can make my own at home. We've got a dollar store in town....it's worth the dollar just to try it! B)

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
