Liquids in a spray bottle

[mstphrchrstphr]

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone had any insight into if it's safe to keep liquids (I currently have apple cider vinegar) in a spray bottle between cooks, and if so how long can they stay in there?  Are there sprays that stay better longer?  Do I need to worry about the plastic "melting" away from something like vinegar?

TIA

Check the bottom of the bottle to see if it is food safe

If it is to ensure the mixture stays safe put it in the fridge,between smokes

Ok thanks for the reply!  The plastic is food safe it looks like HDPE #2 but the bottle has been in the cupboard, so I'll dump it and keep it in the fridge next time.

Personally I would only put enough liquid for the cook and dump it,after then wash bottle JM2Cents

Very true, I'll try doing that.  The spray doesn't work as well when the liquid gets close to the bottom because of the tube length, but that's what I get for buying a $2 bottle.  I'll get a better one and just wash it out between cooks.  Thanks for the advice.

I agree, And if you have a little left over dump it wash your bottle and mix a fresh batch up

That's what I do
