I want to use the absolute minimum of oil and the sprayer
allows me to dispense it in a controlled fashion.

Compost is garbage that I am diverting from the garbage collector. .
Just as with my other garbage, it goes out every single day. I do not
keep it hanging around the kitchen.
I always have enough cottage cheese containers, too, because that is a
household staple. Even on days that I am doing a lot of cooking and
food prep, I have never, ever come close to running out of cottage
cheese containers.
Over the winter, the snow was so deep that we could not get to the
composters (I have two). I piled up those filled cottage cheese
containers in the garage where they froze nicely. When the thaw came,
I marched it all out to the composters. No fuss. No muss. No filters.
No disintegrating bags.
Besides, it does no harm whatsoever if any of the compost starts its
decomposition a few hours or even days early. If I find a rotted
orange or potato or some such, or cut out an overripe portion of a
melon, into the compost container it goes. I surely wouldn't worry
about "fermentation" detracting from its use.
Poor Sheldon...his brain is fermented and he doesn't know his ass from
a hole in the ground about compost, either.

My newsreader has a menu item that displays the whole subthread, as far
back as it is stored on the server. I love it, and use it often. So,
the OP didn't explain the term "KA". Then again, he didn't use it,
either. He wrote:
"Source: I forget."
The next respondent in the subthread was Boron. She carefully spelled
out "King Arthur Flour" the first time she used it, and then used "KA"
after that.

Hey! That's the same way I tell my kids I went to school!
Do your bags start to dissolve once they come in contact with
moisture?
Oh, that can looks so damned pretty. Really, it does. I like its
looks. My daughter gave it to me as a present and I have never let on
that it is anything less than ideal in actual use.

I don't care if anyone is interested in the thread. I just think a
person would appear a tad more intelligent if she figured out what was
being discussed or backtracked to discover the rather obvious meaning
rather than coming in hall-assed in the middle ...so to speak.
If a person isn't smart enough to figure it out and keep up with the
discussion, then she should really stay out of it.

Hi Janet, mine wasn't the "Misto" sprayer. It was quite awhile ago and
I don't recall the name of the one I had. Maybe this one was
manufactured after fixing the problems with the one I had.
I might consider buying the Misto one and giving it a try.

Craft stores sell them by the dozen; that's where I bought the last bunch.
They're useful for much more than cooking oil; they're handy for
fairly-precise drizzling of stuff like glazes, gastriques, sauces, or
syrups. They can dispense salad dressing more carefully than simply pouring
from a bottle. I posted a tagine recipe here once which used a squeeze
bottle to drizzle yogurt over the dish just before serving.

No problem Boron! I remember how upset she was when the changes
started happening. She said that prior to the changes, every product
they had was tested in her kitchen on the plant. Then they started
bypassing the testing and just throwing new products on the shelf with
no actual human testing. She said that the quality started dropping at
that point and she became very dissatisfied with her job.
If I remember correctly, she stayed there about 6 months then and left
for another job.
I'll post in this thread when she answers my email. It might be a few
days. She's a very busy person.

Normally, my husband would take it out and bury the stuff in the
"real" compost pile. This year all composting shut down as piles and
tumblers froze solid.

We were given a compost can, also by our daughter. It was obvious
whether we were using it or not, since she lived with us when she gave
it to us. Our garbage service has a large can for yard waste and
compostables, so we let them run the compost heap. The compostable bags
say quite clearly that they do not decompose while in use (maybe two
weeks after they get wet?), but that water, but not other stuff, will
leak through the bag. The can has a very sturdy plastic liner that can
then be rinsed out outside with the hose.
Our setup works for us. I don't know how much I would recommend it.
