Here are some additional ways to use cooking sprays:

• Vegetables don't have natural oils, so coat them lightly with cooking spray before grilling to protect the skin from drying and burning. Store grilled vegetables in the fridge for up to three days for a spur - of - the - moment salad.

• Tomato - based sauces can leave permanent stains on plastic storage containers. One simple way to avoid this mess is to spray the inside of containers with cooking spray prior to pouring in the sauce.

• Before firing up the barbecue, spray the cool, clean grill rack with cooking spray to prevent food from sticking and to ensure easy cleanup.

• When preparing shish kabobs - a simple, no - fuss meal - spray the metal skewers with cooking spray so that cooked items will slide off easily.

• Fish has a tendency to dry out and break into small pieces when grilling. Brush on fresh lemon juice and wrap in aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray to keep the fish moist.
