Actually, oil and lecithin are the main ingredients in most nonstick sprays . IIRC the recipe called for something like a teaspoon of liquid lecithin to one cup of oil, which you could apply to baking pans with a pastry brush.

Cleaning up the oily mess after that single spoonful of liquid lecithin was enough to convince me to never EVER do that again . Wiping a spilled droplet off the countertop just spread it out into a huge oily stain .. I had to use TSP (garage floor cleaner) to get rid of it!!


I've successfully used xanthan gum in a salad dressing to keep the oil & vinegar from separating .. you only need a bit, like half a teaspoonful. Needs a blender though, otherwise it "clumps".
