Caterers who love the inimitable taste of butter but want less hassle can have it all with new Whirl Griddle Spray, the latest innovation from leading cooking oils specialist AAK Foodservice.
The new product brings together the UK’s number one butter alternative brand, which cooks like butter but better, and a cost-effective format that offers the ultimate in convenience.
Ideal for shallow frying, grilling, roasting, griddling or simply spraying over hot food just before serving for that buttery taste and aroma, the ultra-functional spray can be used on grills, griddles and hot plates for great looking and tasting food every time.
Launched in answer to caterer demand
Rachel Neale, marketing manager for AAK Foodservice, said: “Whirl, a liquid vegetable oil with butter flavouring for that much desired buttery taste, was launched in answer to caterer demand, and it is now even easier to work with thanks to this new liquid spray format.
“More convenient than butter, there is no need to refrigerate, clarify or reduce, while the new format makes it easy to handle and manage portions with a press of the trigger spray. Cooking could not be easier as Whirl Griddle Spray does not spit, burn or discolour pans in normal use.”
Healthier than butter
One of the added beauties of Whirl in an increasingly health-conscious age is that it is healthier than butter. It is not only lower in bad fats, saturates and trans fats, but higher in good fats such as polyunsaturates and monounsaturates, with no cholesterol or trans fatty acids.
And it doesn’t stop there, as Whirl Butter Alternative in its creamy form or this new liquid sprayable product is also more cost effective than butter too.
Whirl Griddle Spray comes in cases of 4 x 500ml bottles with one multi-use trigger spray head.

Seven ways with Whirl Griddle Spray
- Baked potatoes – spray potatoes before putting them in oven for a crispy golden skin, and inside once cooked for a buttery flavour preferred over real butter in blind tests.
- Corn on the cob – spray over cooked cobs as a much quicker, even and mess free application that a blob of butter.
- Grilled chicken – spray onto chicken prior to putting it in the oven for a golden crispy skin. It will also allow spices to stick to skin better.
- Paninis and hot sandwiches – grilling and toasting plain sandwiches might result in a dry, unappealing crust if not greasing grilling plates. Try spraying some Whirl Griddle Spray directly on a panini for a nice golden shine.
- Pancakes and waffles – butter can be messy to apply and easy to burn here. Add the same buttery flavour just with one spray of Whirl Griddle Spray.
- Grilled veggies and onions – just a couple sprays on to your griddle or hot plate and you are ready to cook.
- Mushrooms – using Whirl griddle spray for sautéing mushrooms will ensure they stay looking appealing. Butter tends to set and make juices of mushrooms look pale and watery. Whirl Griddle Spray will ensure mushrooms look like they are just out of the pan.
