Cooking spray *without* soy ingredients?

[Raquelita]

I cannot eat soy products b/c my son is allergic to them (i am breastfeeding). I needed to buy cooking spray yesterday and upon reading the ingredients i learned that *every single one* has soy lecithin in it or some other soy product. What can i use for cooking spray instead? Can i just brush the surfaces with oil and make sure there's not too much?

Oh what a huge pain!

Does regular olive oil have any soy products in it? Somewhere I have a little pump bottle to spray olive oil on things...maybe that would work.

Is your son allergic to soy protein or soy lecithin? Maybe you should ask his doctor. Here's also a link, hope this will help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_allergy

He is sensitive to all soy products - the protein, the oil, the lecithin. If i eat anything with soy ingredients in them he shows symptoms.

I could probably get one of those manual pump bottles and use that with olive oil - the reason there is soy in all the aerosal sprays is to prevent caking/clumping (that's what it says on the labels).

I was about to recommend the olive oil sprayer as well. I have one and it works well. Much healthier than the aerosol sprays.

I wouldn't recommend it for baking just because olive oil has a taste that I wouldn't like in my cookies but for other cooking it works great.

I often use it to oven-fry things...I dip them in egg wash and breadcrumbs, put them on a baking pan, and spray with olive oil so they brown nicely.

I have a can of Organic Pam spray and checked the label for you...it's got that soy lecithin in it, too. Bah!

I was going to recommend the same thing.

Pam For Grilling, which is their high-temperature formula, does not contain soy products.

It's the only non-stick spray I could find that doesn't. Even the olive oil versions contain some soy.
