Food Save Spritzer?
« on: November 23, 2021, 07:07:33 AM »
I have been using the cheap plastic sprayers for spritzing, but they all seem to get mold after a while no matter how good I clean them.  I then replace it with another one. 

Are there any reasonable priced spray bottles out there that will not mold?  It would also need to be able to spray a solution that has seasoning (pepper) in it.

Ever tried one of the hand held garden sprayers?

I have a dollar store spray bottle, I have apple pie in it for when I want to spray ribs or pork steaks. I have not seen mold in it. It has been in the fridge fil for years, I just refill it. Could be the alcohol keeps it from molding.

My take on it would be to keep using the cheap sprayers if they work. I use Whirl type product when cooking on the griddle, it builds up in the squeeze bottles and I tried for 3 days one time to clean it out and, finally it hit me that this bottle cost me $1 why am I wasting my time trying to clean it.

Only other suggestion would be to put some vinegar in it to try to clean the mold out or keep it from starting.

If you are getting mold, just rinse every once in awhile with bleach, or even a very diluted blend.  A cap full in a gallon of water would be sufficient to kill any bacteria!

A few years ago I became concerned about chemicals from plastic leaching into the liquid I was spraying.  (Yeah, yeah, I know that I sometimes overreact.)

I called several restaurant supply houses and looked on line for food-safe spray bottles and couldn't find any.  Many of the people I spoke with treated me as though they thought that I needed psychiatric help.


I saw this in the grocery store and figured that it must me food-safe plastic.

I rinse it with chlorinated water after each use and it's worked perfectly for several years.
