Lemon-scented-butter-flavored non-stick cooking spray that also polishes furniture?

reminds me of that line in "The Spy who loved me" when Bond sends a villain off to his death.

1.) No, we don't get "Solo" brand in the States. We have Pam, which is a non-fat spray that (surprise!) also comes in "butter" flavor.
2.) Real butter is fattening, esp. for how much a recipe might call for just to grease a pan. The above tastes like butter but doesn't contain any fat in it - and as far as I'm concerned, any effort to reduce the fat consumption in Americans is a noble and brave effort.
3.) Thanks for posting the largest image ever created. I'll just jump in the Soyuz capsule so I can view it in its entirety from space.

Well, technically it's almost entirely fat (it's mainly vegetable oil), but they can call it "fat free" because their suggested serving size of a 1/3 second spray has less than half a gram of fat, which they can round down to zero. You do get a lot less fat than butter or plain oil, though, because spray oil contains an emulsifier that allows it to settle as a much thinner film than plain oil can.


Thank you Alton Brown!
