Home cooks who pour too much oil could easily ruin perfectly good food. However, there's a simple hack to control the oil flow. The solution lies within the packaging itself.
In the clip, the amateur cook demonstrates that instead of discarding the green ring cap after pulling it off, it can be reinserted into the top of the oil bottle.
The little plastic pull tab, often overlooked, has a dual purpose beyond preserving the oil's freshness on the shelves. It can be ingeniously used to prevent excessive oil from pouring out, allowing for better measurement and control while cooking.
By turning the bottle upside down and placing the cap back in, it creates a barrier that controls the amount of oil flowing out.
