Oil bottles are very common in our lives, but have you ever thought that it can be an extremely practical artifact for pouring oil? Maybe you're using a bulky oil drum and scrambling to pour oil, but you don't know there's an easy way to solve the problem. Today, I'm going to share with you a very practical DIY method, which only needs a discarded plastic bottle to solve the problem of pouring oil.
2. Backstory
I remember the last time I was cooking at home, I was pouring oil into the pot in a hurry, but accidentally the oil faucet opened too quickly, and the oil overflowed, which not only polluted the stove, but also made my hands greasy. This situation makes me very annoying, especially when I am busy cooking, and pouring oil has become a very headache.
Third, the solution
After experiencing several such embarrassments, I decided to look for a more convenient way to pour the oil. So, I searched the internet and found a simple and practical DIY method – using discarded plastic bottles to make an oil pouring artifact. Not only is this method simple and easy, but the cost is almost zero, which perfectly solves my troubles when pouring oil.
Fourth, the production steps
- Prepare a clean plastic bottle, preferably 500 ml to 1 liter capacity, to ensure a large enough pour spout.
- Use scissors or a knife to cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle, leaving a round mouth about 3 to 4 cm in diameter. The size of this mouth should be determined according to the container you usually pour oil, try to choose a size that can cover it.
- Remove the lid of the plastic bottle and make sure the mouth is unobstructed.
- Align the prepared plastic bottle with the mouth of the container where the oil needs to be poured and gently tilt the bottle to allow the oil to flow smoothly into the container.
Fifth, use skills
- When choosing a plastic bottle, it is best to choose a harder texture, so that you can better control the speed and direction of pouring oil.
- Keep the oil steady when pouring and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration to avoid oil splashing.
- If you need to pour more oil, you can choose a larger diameter plastic bottle, which can complete the pouring of oil faster.
- After use, remember to wash the plastic bottle so that it can be used next time.
