You get a new bottle of olive oil out, and what’s the first thing you do? If you are like us or like any other average olive oil consumer, you remove the cap, rip away that little plastic cover beneath and throw it in the garbage, use the oil as you please, and continue with your life. But it turns out there is a better way, one that will leave you amazed with its simplicity.
The Issue With Olive Oil Bottles
After removing the pull-away plastic cover from the bottle, we are left with an annoying problem. In most cases, the bottle opening is too big, and we can’t dose the oil the way we would want to. It is okay when you need a larger amount of oil, but not so great when you need a splash or a drizzle. This is where the plastic cover you’ve thrown away comes into play.
Olive Oil Bottle Cap Hack
TikTok user @chaldomom recently demonstrated the purpose of the plastic cover we like to throw away so much, and it’s safe to say their video was eye-opening. According to her, the plastic cover actually helps you have more control over your olive oil pouring.
After removing the pull-away cover, you shouldn’t flick it in the garbage. Instead, turn it upside down and return it to the bottle. Next time you try to pour the oil, it will come out in a satisfying stream instead of pouring out uncontrollably. Check out @chaldomom’s video with instructions below.
