Baker's Joy Clogging Spray Nozzle....anyone Else?
Decorating By Strazle Updated 23 Apr 2008 , 5:51am by gscout73

After taking my Wilton courses, I wanted to find something cheaper than the Cake Release spray. So, I started buying Baker's Joy. It worked well.....WHEN it would spray. I have wasted money on several cans that clog after the first few sprays. I have now switched to the Crisco brand spray and have not had this problem again. Has this happened to anyone else? I was thinking of contacting the company but wanted to be certain it wasn't just me.



Yes it used to happen to me too when I left the top off. I use it all the time. But I always rinse the spray nozzle off and put the top back on. I haven't had a problem since. If you have a different can that sprays well, you can take the nozzle off and put it on the can that doesn't spray and it will work. Hope this helps.


I had the same problem as well a while back. I did contact the company and they sent me a coupon for a free can....that did the same thing!!! I tried washing it, different nozzles (I had bought 2-3 cans at once) and nothing worked. Each of the cans that I had would spray enough to cover one pan and then quit. I now buy Crisco and I haven't had a problem since.

I bought it once because it was cheaper.
Um, well...if it hadn't been for the fact that I was trying to stay ahead of schedule and every minute was important, I might have given it another chance. I made sure I was regularly shaking the can...it started spitting and sputtering...a couple of little squirts and it was clogged...I put it to the side, continued on with my regular brand(never had a problem with it...thought I would save a few cent is all). After all was delivered and I returned to get everything back to square one, I took that can of "stuff"(that ain't the word I used to describe it during my crunch time though), rinsed the nozzle thoroughly with really warm water. I replaced it and it worked great again. I really just wanted to be sure what had happened and when what I thought to be the problem was proven, I said a few words and threw it in the trash. I don't even look at any other brand from the grocery store. From then on, I'll either order pan release by the case or use the Wilton brand spray release.

One thing I did notice, is that if the nozzle gets turned a certain way, it won't spray. I KNEW mine wasn't clogged, but it wouldn't spray, so I turned the nozzle a little bit at a time and kept trying to spray until it worked. Then I marked that spot on the can in case it turns again!

Well, thanks for your input gang! I thing I will contact them because we are just a small sample of the general public and have the same issue. I don't think they are all that concerned with function but I'll give it a go for all of us.....I will be sticking with the Crisco spray. I'd rather pay a little more then have to "fix" what shouldn't be broken and raise my blood pressure. LOL

I make my own cake release, it is cheaper and I never have a problem with the nozzle not working. I spread in my pans with a pastry brush. This is how you make it. 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup crisco. Put everything in your bowl and mix on low speed till smooth. You store it in a covered container in the cupboard.

YES!!!!!!! And I've been using since it first came out on the market. I've never had a problem until recently. I've actually had new, full cans just stop spraying And it does not seem to be the tip because I have changed the cap from one can to another and it appears to be in the valve.
