13. Misting Sprays for Cooking
Ends in: Two Years
Cost on average: $2–$8*
Cooking sprays, which are a kitchen’s best-kept secret for averting sticky situations, only last for roughly two years. The oil’s quality may deteriorate over time, giving rise to strange tastes and diminished non-stick cooking efficiency. They lose some of their functionality, even though they won’t necessarily deteriorate like conventional cooking oils.

Making sure your culinary masterpieces aren’t harmed requires paying attention to the expiration date. Thus, the next time you grab that can of cooking oil to coat your pan, give it a quick once-over to make sure your food comes out just as you intended—perfectly cooked without sticking.
