I always threw away the oil cap: a colleague explained to me what it was really used for

This cork has always infuriated me, because sometimes it has to be pulled forcefully and quite abruptly, which leads to spills of

oil. And sometimes the ring breaks and then it is very difficult to open the oil. But not too long ago, I found out why it was really necessary.

Now, I’m going to tell you everything in detail. The fact is that the plug must be put back in its place, but before that, you must return it.

After that, press the cap on the inside of the

bottle so that it is fixed between the slots.

Since the plug is asymmetrical, there is always a small gap left.

This space allows the oil to be dosed, i.e. it will be poured in a thin stream.

If you often cook with oil in small bottles, you’ve probably noticed that there’s a plastic ring under the cap of your oil bottle. While you might think that it is good to put in the trash, find its usefulness in this article.
