Questions about the Ceramic Oil Dispenser
How much oil does it hold?
22 oz, about 650 ml, which is a full supermarket bottle decanted. That is roughly two weeks of everyday cooking for most households.
Why ceramic instead of glass?
Light speeds up the oxidation that turns olive oil rancid. Opaque ceramic blocks all of it, which is why traditional Mediterranean oil vessels are earthenware. It also looks like it belongs on the counter rather than in a cupboard.
Can I refill it without a funnel?
Yes. The mouth is wide enough to pour straight from a bottle or tin. Empty it and rinse before each refill rather than topping up, so older oil does not flavour the new.
Does the spout drip?
The spout is tapered so oil pours in a thin, steady stream and stops when you tilt back. A cork stopper is included for when the spout is not in use.
Can I use it for vinegar?
Yes, but keep a separate dispenser for it. Vinegar leaves a trace that carries into oil.
How do I clean it?
Rinse with warm water and let it dry fully before refilling. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
