Oil Dispenser Ideas for Cooking

[Imp]

Slowly getting into cooking on the stove, want to avoid non-stick so I need to oil ma foods.

I mainly use canola/corn oil and not olive oil. That means they usually come in plastic bottles with big openings instead of glass bottles with a "drip-free" or easy-pour opening.

What do you use for oiling a pan or anything when cooking?

I've found steel oil cans, cheapo glass bottles with inserts, inserts sold separately, and even ketchup/mustard squeeze bottles. Oil can sounds the best but I can't find them for sale locally. Thinking of using an old wine bottle. Need more ideas.

Just keep a dish of bacon fat in the fridge and grab a spoonful as needed.

Too much flavor for a lot of things.

I use a Misto if I want a fine spray, or a glass oil dispenser (a cruet) for drizzling.

Otherwise I just have the jug or can nearby for larger amounts. I use a lot of canola oil and olive oil.

Don't forget the plastic liners. They make it MUCH easier to clean the bottle.

I should have some of those for in the kitchen myself, have always just used them for tapping fluid and various things at work, in various sizes.

Yeah, get something like those, but don't buy those. You can get those 2 or 3 for a buck at your local dollar store.

Use a plastic bar pourer and that old wine bottle.

I use a Misto if I want a fine spray

I've always wondered how well that works, compared to your typical can of cooking oil spray. Pretty much the same? I use a little cooking spray almost daily, but a small can will last me for months. So I wouldn't bother just to save a couple of bucks.

Lot of squeeze bottle lovers here. Thinking of using an old stainless steel bottle. Should be easy to refill. Could be a bitch to pour though. Could get a different bottle cap...

If you go to Costco try some Ottavio avocado oil.

It's nice for making salad dressings and mayo, and it's a great substitute for olive oil because of its freakishly high smoke point (460F). Also, the bottle comes with a slow-pour spout built in; which can be both a good thing as well as irksome.

butter or grapeseed oil.

grapeseed is expensive, though...but it's awesome.

this is what I was going to say. well, without the old wine bottle. but that is a fine idea

I bought a few glass bottles /w spouts (the kind you find on all the liquor bottles at a bar) at TJ Maxx a few years ago. Couple bucks each and looks nicer than plastic sitting on the counter IMO. Put some labels on them if you have different kinds of oils - I only have canola and olive.

Re: glass bottles with spouts.

But aren't those spouts open to the air? I have one, but I quit using it because I didn't use it every day and I was concerned about it going bad.

Definitely not a good idea to cheap out on plastics that you are using for cooking.

They are. Personally, I've never had a problem with oil going bad. At least I'm still alive...?

they do go stale.

I use a stoneware bottle with a cork in the top. It's made for table use with salad, but I don't think I'm breaking any laws.
