Troubleshooting Kitchen Spritzer Leaks: Tips and Tricks

[Jillmami]

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there something that I am doing wrong/shouldn't be doing? Every time I get it out of the pantry, it's all oily and icky. Never take it to shows anymore. Plus, it comes out in a sturdy stream as opposed to a "spray/mist". Is that correct?

Thanks for tips!

I had one like that years ago, before I was a consultant. Actually, I don't think it was even PC.....so I was hesitant to try this one. but I have NOT had these problems. I think you should call HO.

Have you cleaned it? Mine gets gummed up occasionally and I have to clean it out. Have you tried using the extra sprayer that they send you?

Another thing to try--releasing the pressure after spraying. Just unscrew the sprayer a bit to release the air, then re-tighten. The pressure might be causing a bit of oil to leak out of the nozzle after you've put it away.If none of the suggestions you get work, contact the HO for a replacement if it's still under warranty.

Hi there! I have definitely experienced this issue before with some of my cooking sprays. One thing that has helped me is to make sure I am shaking the can really well before each use. This helps to distribute the oil more evenly and prevent it from coming out in a sturdy stream. Also, make sure you are storing the can upright in a cool, dry place. Sometimes if it's stored on its side or in a warm area, the oil can separate and cause the spray to come out in a less mist-like consistency. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
