Alternative Uses for Cooking Spray

Have you done your holiday baking shopping yet? Of course, you have. Today as I was preparing to make grape nut bread for friends and family, I noticed that I have three cans of cooking spray. (The mind tends to become forgetful during this time) and I began to wonder what else I can I use cooking spray for, since, after all, I had three cans.

Alternate uses for cooking spray- say cheese

Spritz some cooking spray along your cheese grater the next time you grate cheese. The cheese will not stick and it makes for easy clean up.

The next time you go fishing, take along a can of cooking spray (if you are like me, you have an extra can!). Coat your fishing line before you cast and the line with cast further and quicker.
