Meet PAM. You can't imagine foregoing butter. After all, how will you saute'' your meats and vegetables? How will you grease those baking pans? Well, meet PAM, a fat-free cooking spray that comes in Original, Butter, Olive Oil and two other flavors. With PAM, you can eliminate the need for other unhealthy fats. Butter is a "natural" product that comes from animals, but it also contains 7 grams of saturated fat. And if you think you're off the hook because you use margarine instead, then think again. Many are loaded with unhealthy trans fats - stick margarine can contain up to 3 grams. In recent years, the level of trans fats has improved in margarines, but they're still high in calories. On the other hand, one one-second spray of PAM has no fat and seven calories, while a teaspoon of butter has 104 calories and 11.5 grams of fat.
PAM is a major multitasker in the kitchen. This versatile spray can be used for grilling, baking and stovetop cooking. Spray PAM on turkey skin to make it golden before you roast it in the oven. It gives baked potatoes a nice, crispy skin with a quick spray before roasting, too. PAM baking can be used when you need to grease and flour pans - it's a simple, one-step process to keep baked goods from sticking. When measuring sticky ingredients like honey or syrup, give measuring cups and spoons a spray of PAM to help release the ingredients. PAM keeps rising dough moist and keeps it from sticking to bowls and plastic wrap.
