Stainless Steel Oil Dispenser

Oil kept in its supermarket bottle goes rancid faster and drips down the side every time you pour. This dispenser fixes both: an opaque stainless steel body that keeps light off the oil, and a narrow spout cut at an angle so the stream breaks cleanly and the last drop runs back inside instead of down the outside.

The body is double-walled food-grade stainless steel with a brushed exterior that stays cool and does not show fingerprints. A hinged dust cap sits over the spout between uses, keeping the pour clean in a working kitchen, and the wide screw neck means you can refill from a five-litre can without a funnel and get a bottle brush inside to wash it properly. The base is weighted so it does not tip when knocked.

Three sizes cover different habits: 500 ml for a small kitchen or a specialist oil, 700 ml as the everyday choice, 1 litre for households that cook constantly. Suitable for olive, rapeseed, sunflower and sesame oils, and for vinegar. Hand wash and dry thoroughly; store away from the hob. Kept beside the hob it also encourages better cooking habits, since a controlled stream makes it far easier to judge how much oil is actually going into the pan.
