Have You Tried This Healthier Cooking Alternative For A Fitter Family?

In my house, I find myself waging a never-ending battle with my husband about our expanding waistlines. We’re both self-proclaimed foodies; I love cooking and he loves eating. This is ‘hugely’ evident when you look at us with our barely concealed love handles. So, who doesn’t love food?!

Traditional Indian cuisine is usually made with generous dollops of oil and ghee. We feel that if it’s not got enough oil or ghee it won’t taste as yummy. As a parent, I really try hard and cut back on the oil and ghee when whipping up my family’s meals, however, I do end up tipping the oil can a little more than necessary.

What can I say, it’s my Indian genes calling out from the kadhai! But I know this is extremely unhealthy and have resolved to get my family healthier and fitter this year. And I took the first logical step when I tried out Ray Cooking Spray compared to the conventional oil bottles and cans. Ray Cooking Spray, from LB Group, is a new entrant in the field of cooking spray in the Indian market. On a global scale, cooking sprays are commonly used and have been around for years. However, in India, the awareness and interest have caught on only recently.

Are Cooking Sprays Safe To Use?

Cooking sprays have had their fair share of controversy and there are many who shy away from picking a can up. But it has been proved time and again that they are safe for use and reduce a significant amount of fat and oil used in cooking. What a cooking spray essentially does is coat the surface with a thin layer of oil and lecithin so food doesn’t stick to the pan while cooking. This is done without the calories from a spoonful of oil or ghee. Cooking sprays will all contain a vegetable oil and soy lecithin which along with the propellant emulsifies the product.

Ray Cooking Spray’s unique dispensing mechanism, enables consumers to use the optimum amount of oil in their cooking. This results in reduced consumption of oil/ghee by approximately 80% as tested and certified by laboratories.

• With each can, one gets around 700 -750 sprays – this equals to 3 litres of oil if used for traditional Indian cooking. Your average oil intake is actually reduced by almost 10 times.
• In the west, cooking sprays are used often to grease cake pans and muffin cases too. So the next time you bake, don’t reach for the butter, try the spray.

Range of products available: 

Variants such as Refined Sunflower, Filtered Groundnut, Olive or Ghee are available.

Here’s How You Should Store The Can

Ray Cooking Spray must be stored in a cool and dry place, at room temperature. Obviously, the contents should not be sprayed onto an open flame or red hot surfaces, just as with any other regular oil. Store Ray Cooking Spray away from cooking surfaces or any other device that gives out heat. Also, keep it away from the reach of small children.

What’s The Shelf Life?

Ray Cooking Spray is best consumed before 18 months from the date of manufacture.

What We Like About It:

• It gives out exact measurements making it easier to monitor how much is being used each time.
• Ray Cooking Spray is free from argemone oil- so there’s no question of adulteration.

What You Need To Be Careful About:

• The propellants in the spray contain Butane, ISO Butane, Propane, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide and Soy Lecithin which do not mix with the oil or your food but get released into the air when sprayed. Hence make sure you use the spray carefully, directing it only at the pan/kadhai.
• Make sure you store it somewhere higher and out of reach of small children.
