Review on Prepara PP08 MSTLXE Deluxe Mister Glass by Danielle Hart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Has begun to stand the test of time and abuse

This atomizer is a mix of very good and very annoying Pros: It produces a nice cloud of fine mist Doesn't clog me when putting herbs in oil jar Body is dishwasher safe. Efficient use of interior space. You fill it almost to the brim and spray to the hilt - very little waste - a big advantage here. I've had it for almost a year with active use. We will see. My last mister lasted about 5 years. Cons Slightly finicky - another reviewer recommended releasing the pressure between uses (good idea for any mr), a nice cloud of fine mist penetrates everywhere - including mr it takes about 20 pumps to get full pressure - my old pump only needed 10. I bought a glass pump because I was worried about putting plastic parts in the dishwasher and leaching chemicals into the oil. So I've now put the jar in the dishwasher and my pump by hand. Not many improvements. Update: December 8, 2011 I have just purchased a pack of Misto 2 from Costco. You see a picture of the Misto Gourmet Olive Oil Sprayer, Brushed Aluminum: In comparison, Misto produces a much more powerful, even longer spray for the same number of strokes. The laundry turned out to be ok, you just fill it with water and detergent, shake, pump and spray. Rinse, fill with clean water and spray off, done. There's some speculation that the mistos won't last that long, but I bought my 2 for $16 so I'm fine. Finally, when you have all those gentlemen, start diffusing all your oils, fragrance oils, etc. The more the better. Update December 2nd 2012 Bummer I've been sick and the cooking has been too much for me the last, huh, almost 7-8 months? I left oils in all gentlemen. What a lazy mess. He was almost rigid. I soaked them in hot water and plenty of Dawn dish soap, then started wetting them to try to get the oil off the spray mechanism. It didn't work very well, I could still smell the oil after almost 1/2 hour of spraying. Then I thought why not try dissolving the oil with alcohol. I bet these gentlemen use wine to wet this special brew, right? Went like clockwork. All gentlemen have washed a little white wine and they look like new. And I returned to cooking almost immediately. The Prepara support gives many useful tips in its comment. Be sure and read. Thank you!
