Product Description

Amazon.com Review
This three-piece gourmet mist sprayer set is excellent for a variety of uses, including lightly spraying salads, delicately flavoring fresh meats and vegetables, and creating a fine mist for filming a skillet. The set comes with a convenient storage caddy and 12 pressure-sensitive identification labels. Each mister is constructed from the finest quality 18/8 stainless steel and has a brushed exterior surface, making the set an excellent decorative accent in kitchens with chrome appliances. --Julie McCowan

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking, but..., March 2, 2001

By	"geeo" (Reno, NV, USA) - See all my reviews

I read the Misto reviews here on Amazon, and also saw that Cook's Magazine was not impressed with the Misto brand oil sprayer. I wanted something that would work better than Misto and would still not cost a fortune; knowing that Hoffritz makes fine quality kitchen items spurred me to order this "Gourmet Oil Set". I looked on the web and on the hoffritz.com site for additional info on the set, but didn't find anything beyond what's here on the Amazon website - not much.

Today, I received the package, and looked inside - there were the three sprayers pictured and the base, along with 12 labels that could be used to identify the contents of the sprayers. I did not locate any information or directions for the sprayers. The sprayer will stand on a counter without the base.

I immediately filled one of the bottles with light olive oil, the oil that we use most. What I quickly discovered is that this set of sprayers is completely unlike a number of the other oil sprayers on the market, and do not require any "priming", or removal of a cap to create air pressure, you just press the button under the cap with your finger, much like any other spray can or bottle, and the contents come out, in an almost straight stream, with essentially no "mist". While this can be pretty useful for measuring a small amount of oil into a pan for cooking, it again does NOT "mist" out. For uses other than oiling a pan, like coating the surface of a chicken that you'd like to oil before cooking, it is pretty clumsy, streaming out of the sprayer with a fair amount of force, possibly splashing back, and certainly requiring a brush ( or similar ) to even the coating of oil after spraying.

All in all, a nice looking, but somewhat expensive set of small standard spray bottles - Good for what they are, but did not fill the need I had hoped they would.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing product, March 20, 2001

By	Jenny H Ko (NY, NY) - See all my reviews

I am very disappointed with this product. I purchased this oil set because they looked really nice and the Editorial review said that it worked as a mister. When I received the product I immediately tried it out. The first few "sprays" the oil just squirted out in a steady stream, and after a few tries it would spray out with large droplets, not a fine mist. Not at all what I had expected. It works well to add a little bit of oil to a pan, but that's what I have a squeeze bottle for. If you are looking for something pretty to use while oiling your pans while cooking, this product will work for you. But if you are looking for something to grease your cake pans or lightly coat food with oil, this product will not work well. I will be returning mine and trying the Misto one intead.

5.0 out of 5 stars A durable SPRAYER, not a mister, August 18, 2004

By	Junkman - See all my reviews

This is a durable sprayer, not a mister. I went through 3 or 4 misters before finding the Hoffritz sprayers. Mine are 3 years old and going strong. The misters, including the expensive stainless steel one, simply do not last very long. We use a LOT of olive oil and these sprayers have held up well. They do require a good push. And you get more olive oil than you would with a mister.
