Homemade nonstick cooking spray

My fiance is a fan of Pan nonstick cooking spray. Growing up, the only time my mother used Pan was when she was baking a cake. As for me, I stopped using it years ago, preferring to use oil and flour in my baking pans instead. I've also seen some people use it to spray their griddle when making pancakes. I usually smear a thin coat of oil onto the pan with an oily napkin. Still, I suppose a nonstick spray can be convenient to have around, especially if your fiance likes it! To make your own, you will need liquid lecithin, which isn't something you can find in a regular supermarket. My local health food store has soy lecithin, but it's not something that I would have thought to purchase until I saw this recipe:

So considering the fact that I'd have to purchase something soley for this purpose, I'm not inclined to make this. Honestly, I see no need to use non-stick spray, but if ever I'm doing a project that needs it, I'll try to keep this recipe in mind. :-)
