Neither, it is a liquid.

  • the spray itself is a liquid cooking oil
  • the propellant is a liquid hydrocarbon or hydrofluorocarbon with a very low boiling point
When you press the spray button it opens a valve and the propellant flash boils producing a gas that propels tiny droplets of cooking oil out the nozzle.

Some formulations include tiny solid particles of flour mixed with the cooking oil.

How much oil is actually in a can of cooking spray?

The amount of oil in a can of cooking spray is almost exactly what the weight on the package states. Basically, it will only vary as the settings/accuracy of the machine that is used to fill the can. The food industry does the right thing by putting the weight of a packaged product on the package, and that stated weight does not include the weight of that packaging. It's the weight of the contents. In addition, about all that is in a can of cooking spray other than the cooking oil itself is the compressed gas used as a propellent. And the compressed gas (usually either nitrous oxide or carbon dioxide) weighs almost nothing in comparison to the weight of the oil. Hope that helps.

Can you use cooking spray direct on food?

If you're talking about spray cooking oil, then yes. It's just normal cooking oil with a different method of delivery.Another PerspectiveCooking spray is usually used in order to minimize the amount of oil used to cook food. Many sprays are made from oils that are less than optimally nutritious such as soybean oil or corn oil. By spraying it on the food instead of the cooking surface you may be adding an unnecessary amount of oil to the food that you're preparing.
