I have a glass oil pump sprayer.
I use it for a quick spray for bread rising bowls, drained hot pasta and whatever else needs a spritz.
My last fill was vegetable oil but it turned cloudy and had a rancid smell. 2 months maybe.
The oil in the main jug is fine.
Is there a better oil to use? I have been using the sprayer for a few years and whenever i refill it, it gets a good cleaning with a 3 day dry.
No idea why it wend bad this time. Any good suggestions?

Was your spritzer stored near the stove and maybe that contributed to the rancid
smell and cloudiness? Just guessing here but I don't have a recommendation
except maybe for corn or avocado oil.

I store it directly on the back top if the stove but always did.
Is there a reason corn or avo may be a better choice? I am not looking for flavor at all.

You *are* "just guessing," as you don't know shit about
rancidity. Corn oil and avocado oil are nothing alike.
Corn oil is one of the bad oils as far as rancidity,
whereas avocado oil one of the best. Linoleic acid
(Omega-6) is the stuff that is responsible for most of
the rancidity.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/36178182@N08/53047838317/in/dateposted-public/
The absolute worst is grape seed oil, followed by
conventional sunflower oil. The best oil that is liquid
at room temperature is macadamia nut oil, but that
is very expensive, and high oleic sunflower oil is
almost as good, for a much lower cost, and is
practically flavorless. Avocado oil is also great, but
tends to be quite a bit pricier than high oleic
sunflower oil. Olive oil is very good too, but is less
neutral in taste. Canola isn't patently bad, like soy
oil--everything labeled vegetable oil in the USA is
soy oil--but many find Canola to have an off taste.

Because of Putin's war, the cost of high oleic
sunflower oil has more than doubled, so for throw
away oil, I've taken to using peanut. It's less than
ideal, but it's a lot cheaper than better oil, and
doesn't taste bad like Canola. For spritzing, I buy
the aerosol avocado oil from ALDI.
https://www.aldi.us/en/products/pantry-essentials/oils-vinegars/detail/ps/p/simply-nature-avocado-coconut-or-blend-oil-sprays/
It never goes bad, and a can lasts me a good,
long while.

The stuff called vegetable oil (soybean) is not
fit for human consumption, and is best disposed
of by using it to help start charcoal in a chimney,
or to help start campfires. If you have a diesel
vehicle, you could add a cup to the tank at every
fill up until it's gone.

HEY HEY HEY, I am just trying to help the nice fellow with a mere and humble "suggestion"...

I apologise to all here for not being all snobbish about oil rancidity...

To answer your question as stated, probably it was
caused by the hottest 3 months in Earth's history.

But I have an inspired guess that you really
want to know how to prevent a re-occurrence.

I suggest washing it really well, because all
it takes is one rancid molecule to set it off.

If it has a rubber seal, just heep the bottle
in the fridge, because you'll never completely
get rid of all the oil in the seal.

Someone else will likely recommend an oil most
resistant to rancidisation. I suggest steering
clear of nuts.

Actually, I *am* rather knowledgeable about dietary fatty

out of your old, musty ass. Fifteen years ago I was
ridiculed on this NG for preaching against trans-fats.
Folks here even defended the use of Crisco. Over a
decade ago I was writing here about high oleic oils.
Perhaps you should stick to opining on things you

They clog up really easy if you use anything but a highly refined
oil (such as corn, canola, soybean). I'm in the middle of a oil
spray crisis myself since Costco stopped selling their Kirkland
brand of aerosol oil and now only carry that nasty Pam shit.

What's the difference? I've never tried Kirkland. I usually get

No, you just read stuff on the internet like the rest of us, but it doesn't make
you particularly smart, just good at copying and pasting. If you were really
as smart as you think you are, you'd do your own testing and researching and
post your results here.

I've never defended Crisco; have no reason to defend it as it's not in my
pantry and I don't use it. I did use some a neighbor gifted me last year
but was not impressed at all with its' results.

Maybe you should learn to cook chicken wings beyond their halfway mark
before crowing about your cooking abilities.

If you were Chinese, you'd let that set for a few minutes and then do a second fry at high temperature. The result would be crispy and golden brown chicken. Millions of Chinese can't be Wong!

So far, the consensus is they're undercooked. Keep trying, you'll eventually
succeed. Maybe. But be sure and post your results here so we can continue

Hey! When I made a million cans of PAM in the Seventies, it was CFCs and
lecithin. That's all. Then, global cooling stepped in, and all hell
broke loose.
For my air fryer, and from hints garnered from here, I bought some
non-PAM aerosol oil the other day. The PAM spray had a larger shelf and
was nearly sold out. Whatever I bought wasn't. We'll see.

You get more for less $$, it sprays cleaner and consistently, and
it's not an unnatural yellow and doesn't turn an ugly brown when
cooked (like Pam).

Wow. Those chicken wings look *very* undercooked. Kind of like his

The pix were taken with a fairly cheap Android phone.
Looking at the original photo in question, I do see where
it looks like there are pink, undercooked areas. Assuming
that one of the Stupid Cunt sisters would bring it up again,
the next time I fried wings, I photographed them under
light similar to the earlier photo, similar but likely not
identical. Then, I took that plate out onto the front porch,
where there was natural light, and it is easy to see that
the places that look somewhat pink on the second photo,
are clearly tan colored, fully cooked and lightly browned.
It's not bloody juice coming out.
