This plug has always infuriated me, because sometimes you have to pull it hard and quite abruptly, which leads to oil spills. And sometimes the ring breaks and then it is very difficult to open the oil. But not so long ago I found out why it is really necessary.
Now I will tell you everything in detail. The fact is that the plug must be put back in its place, but before that you need to turn it over.
After that, press the cork inside the bottle so that it is secured between the slots.
As the plug is asymmetrical, there is always a small gap.
This space allows the oil to be measured, meaning it will be poured in a thin stream.
If you often cook with oil in small bottles, you may have noticed that there is a plastic ring under the cap of your oil bottle. While you might think that it is good to throw in the trash, find its usefulness in this article.
