Same, except it's a 0.5L glass bottle. I didn't know people needed to spray olive oil.
"need"? no, but I find it helps me use less
TIL people reuse them. What country are you from? No one does that here AFAIK.
Are those actually practical? How do you clean them. My ex tried that but it got gross real fast, the nozzle gunked up and it was just too much of a hassle to use.
I haven't used the type I linked just grab a image. Mine is a pump (using index finger) type. But I use almost every day and never had a issue with it gunking up. I just cleaned it for the first time in 6-8 months.
Now, it does require some "umph" to spray, if you try to lightly spray it just comes out as a weak stream and leaks everywhere including down the bottle.
I try to do it every time I refill them, but realistically it's every second or third time
The concept of spraying oil is completely foreign to me. Where are you from?
I just pour some oil in the pan and spread it out somewhat evenly. Admittedly cooking is more of a need than a want from my end though.
Literally never.
But mine is This kind of shape which at least roughly approximates first-in-first-out so 🤷
I’m not sure about the life span of Olive oil but oils that are infused (e.g. garlic) can lead to botulism which is… uh, best avoided.
When I refill them.
Whenever I need to refill it, which happens more often than the shelf life (3-6 months for olive oil once opened).
My what?
