In a split second while roaming the dollar store, I made the decision that purchasing Chef's Own $1 Pan Coating spray would do the trick for grilling and other cooking needs.
Well, let met just say, that this is one product you should avoid trying to save a buck or two on. Chef's Own sprays out as a normal non-stick spray, but it layers your pan with a light white foam layer. It looked somewhat normal as I made an omelette one morning. The problem was (and I was using one of my fancy supposed non-stick pans), when I tried to extract the omelette from the pan, it was a huge no-go. I had to scrape the edges and shove something under it just to get it out of the pan.
Here's a nice product description. Sounds promising! But I can tell you from usage, it's horrible. I keep imagining I'm spraying water over the pan or grill grates, because that's about all it does is get the grill grates wet. Everything always ends up sticking.
Junior high cooking class taught us to never use cooking spay in non-stick pans. It will cause more sticking and ruin the the coating.
