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

 

to pull it hard and quite roughly, which causes oil spills.

And sometimes the ring breaks, making it very difficult to open the oil . But I recently discovered why it was actually necessary.

Now I'll tell you everything in detail.
The fact is that the plug needs to be put back in place, but first you have to return it.

Next, press the cap inside the bottle so that it is secured between the grooves.

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

This space allows you to measure the oil, which means it will be poured in a thin stream.

If you often cook with oil in small bottles, you may have noticed a plastic ring under the cap. While you might think it's best to throw it away, learn about its usefulness in this article.You've probably noticed those small plastic tabs on oil bottles several times. Maybe you even ignored them, thinking they served no purpose other than making the bottle harder to open. Well, think again! These tabs have a very specific use and can make your life in the kitchen much easier. So before you throw them away, find out why they're worth saving.

olling the Amount of Oil Used:
When preparing a recipe that only requires a small amount of oil, it can sometimes be difficult to control the amount dispensed from the bottle. As a result, we always end up using more than we need. But thanks to the plastic tab located inside the bottle, under the cap, this problem is quickly solved.
The small ring allows you to partially obstruct the bottle's nozzle, making it easier to control the amount of oil poured. This way, you can pour the oil without wasting a single drop. Pretty handy, right?

However, be careful not to press the tab too hard, or you might push it into the bottle. Just press gently and lightly.
