>VIEW ALL ARTICLES BY JEFFERSON ADAMS PAM Cooking Spray is one of the leaders in non-stick high-temperature cooking sprays and a household staple for easy baking and greasing. Many home cooks and home bakers use PAM for its convenient and mess-free spray functions. PAM is marketed in various flavors, such as olive oil, coconut oil, and butter. PAM also offers high-temperature sprays for grilling and baking. PAM Cooking Spray is considered gluten-free. It typically consists of canola oil, palm oil, olive oil, or coconut oil. However, Pam Baking Spray contains wheat flour so it is not gluten-free. Healthier gluten-free alternatives to PAM Cooking Spray, include Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray, Fourth & Heart High Heat Original Ghee Oil Blend Spray, and Thrive Market Coconut Oil Spray. In this article, we’ll take a look at all the PAM Cooking Sprays and investigate a few other brands of alternative cooking sprays. Let’s dig in! Contents
Is PAM Cooking Spray Healthy?In suggested servings sizes, PAM Cooking Spray has essentially zero calories. While best enjoyed in small doses, many will end up using more than the suggested serving size, as it is easy to spray for longer than a few seconds. PAM also contains chemical additives, like soy lecithin, palm oil, and butane which are not the most health-boosting ingredients. PAM Cooking Spray is highly processed and when using oils it is best to stick to less modified oils that include only one ingredient, like pure olive oil or coconut oil. For higher heat baking and cooking, avocado or coconut oil are recommended. All About PAM Cooking SprayWhy is PAM cooking oil popular?PAM Cooking Spray has become a household name since the 60s for its convenience and usability. Pam makes greasing any surface an easy no-mess solution for bakers and home cooks alike. PAM Cooking Spray was invented in 1959 by Arthur Meyer Hoff and Leon Rubin. Contrary to popular belief, PAM is not named after a famous women baker but it stands for Product of Arthur Meyerhoff. PAM Cooking Spray was acquired by ConAgra Foods in 2000. Are there chemicals in PAM Cooking Spray?PAM contains three key ingredients: oil, lecithin, and butane or propane. Butane is a chemical used to propel the oil from the can. While butane is a chemical we typically do not see in our food products, it is considered FDA approved. However, this does not necessarily mean this is healthy. Additionally, the butane in PAM makes it highly flammable and ConAgra (the current manufacturer of PAM) has undergone various lawsuits for can explosions. PAM Cooking Spray vs. PAM Baking SprayAlthough most PAM Cooking Sprays are gluten-free, the one outlier is PAM Baking Spray which contains wheat flour. The wheat flour is used for non-stick purposes which is often times needed for baking and precision. PAM Baking Spray ensures no cakes or pastries stick to the pan, while also leaving your kitchen a tad bit cleaner (without flour dust everywhere). Most baking
sprays will contain flour, so always read the label! What is Canola Oil?The Original PAM Cooking Spray is made predominately with canola, a refined vegetable oil. Refined vegetable oil is typically derived from genetically-modified plants (GMOs) that are sprayed with chemicals and pesticides. The long term effects of GMOs are debated, so they are best avoided in large quantities. The healthier alternatives to canola oil for high-heat cooking would be avocado oil and refined coconut oil.
