This cool trick makes pouring olive oil much easie
Olive oil is healthy and delicious. You can use it to prepare delicious dishes and a single splash can make salads so much more appetizing. However, sometimes you just pour a little too enthusiastically and your whole meal is full of oil. Fortunately, with this trick, that will never happen again.
Clumsy
Precision matters when cooking and carelessness can have dire consequences. Everyone has at some point spent an hour in the kitchen cooking up a delicious meal only to accidentally add way too much of a certain ingredient. When that happens, there’s nothing you can do but to start all over again. That’s a shame, of course, so it’s better to do as much as possible to avoid those kinds of accidents.
A simple solution
A TikTok user and amateur chef by the name of MamaB was handling her ingedrients a bit too enthusiastically too. It happened all too often that she carelessly fiddled with a bottle of olive oil and a whole puddle ended up in her food. A shame, and not entrely healthy either, because although a little bit of olive oil can’t hurt, it is a huge calorie bomb, which is not good if you’re trying to pay attention to your weight.
Fortunately, she found an easy and convenient solution that put an end to the problems for good. She was so excited about her idea that she decided to share it with the rest of the world on TikTok. It soon became apparent that she was not the only one who had problems pouring their olive oil. In no time, 11 million people had watched her video!
Plastic cap
Normally, when you first open a bottle of olive oil, there is an extra piece of plastic that you have to remove. Most people just rip it off and immediately throw it in the trash, but you shouldn’t! That extra piece of plastic is the key to smarter cooking.
If you put that plastic cap back upside down (don’t push too hard, otherwise it will end up inside of the bottle!), it ensures that the olive oil comes out of the bottle much more gently. This way you can add the oil to your dish with much more ease, without having to worry that a big splash will suddenly end up in your pan.
