1835.0. "Olive Oil PAM" by AKO569::JOY (Gotta get back to Greece!) Thu Jun 22 1989 12:54

    I just saw an ad for a new version of PAM, this one is made with
    olive oil. Sounds like it might be a good idea, sprayable olive
    oil! I haven't seen it in the stores yet but I'll look this weekend,
    there was even a coupon for it.

1835.1not rushing out to buyVIA::GLANTZMike, DTN 381-1253Thu Jun 22 1989 15:485
  It'll be interesting to see if there's a market for it. Personally, I
  wouldn't buy it, because I doubt they'd put a decent olive oil in it.
  I do use regular PAM, but only for hard-to-oil things like waffle
  irons (and not even for that all the time), so even if they used a
  good olive oil, I wouldn't have much use for it.
1835.2I make my own sprayable olive oilIOWAIT::WILDEAsk yourself..am I a happy cow?Mon Jun 26 1989 19:025
Make your own....put your favorite cooking olive oil in a pump spray
bottle and use the pump instead of pouring...you'll use less, and still
use good oil.


1835.3Saw it at Shaw'sAKO569::JOYGotta get back to Greece!Wed Jun 28 1989 18:406
    I saw a can of the new PAM last weekend. It claims to use imported
    virgin olive oil, didn't say what brand tho. I didn't get it because
    I left the $1.00 off coupon home. Maybe next shopping trip...

1835.4PAM, PAM, PAM & PAM!VANINE::BOULTONInterconnector of NoteMon Feb 19 1990 15:317
    Being a lazy so-and-so, I used to use PAM when I lived in the USA,
    however back here in the UK I can't seem to find it.   Anybody ever seen
    it over here please?
    
    Cheers

1835.5Try Harrods.TRUCKS::GKEred, white and blueberry all underTue Feb 20 1990 04:057
    
    you can get PAM in Harrods in London in the food shop... in fact
    there are a number of American foods there, eg., nachos, taco shells,
    flour tortillas, corn tortillas, KARO, Crisco etc.  They are overpriced
    but when you need a FIX it is there!

1835.6try a spray bottle and a good veg. oil.TRUCKS::GKEred, white and blueberry all underTue Feb 20 1990 04:0916
    ps. to .5
    
    I started putting my vegetable oil in a plant mister a few months
    ago in an attempt to cut drastically the oil we eat at home.  I
    measured it one day into a teaspoon and 5/6 sprays was almost a teaspoon
    of oil.  I almost never use more than two sprays for everything
    from a stir fry done in the wok to the frying pan when cooking 
    veggie burgers, eggs, mushrooms, onions etc.
    
    If you don't want to pay the price for PAM over here try getting
    a nice fine plant mister and keeping your oil in it.  I would suggest
    a plastic one as I don't know if the metal ones are suitable for
    food storage.. I did not want to take the risk myself.

Or...

You can send away to a fancy kitchen supply place like Williams Sonoma and get
a "made for spraying oil" version of Gailann's plant mister for about 40 to
50 times the price!
