You want to fry a few onions,
you get the plastic bottle of cooking oil... pour some oil into the pan
almost inevitably you pour too much oil in there.
Solution, some kind of cooking oil dispenser that will put a tiny
quantity of oil in the pan, that you can increase and easily control
There must be something out there !
Im envisioning something that goes to a thin, pipe like nozzle
perhaps squeeze the dispenser to squirt out the very fine stream of oil.

Or you could use a cruet or something similar.

but you can get all kinds including glass and stainless steel.
but think of the humble tin of oil for the bike ...
metal tin and plastic tube set in the top
you have complete control of the oil, you can drip it onto the chain
why not have the same control for oil you put into the frying pan ?
at present its ....... pour the oil from a plastic bottle....
result... always too much oil in the pan !
to get cooking oil in
similar idea but bigger and spout screws off... would be perfect .

Edit: didn't see blue's post above.
That's them!
but just had the thought........ fairy liquid containers....
would prob do it
No, no,no,no and no.
They are not suitable for food as the plastic will not be made for food and can contaminate the oil.
screwable to get oil in again and again
I've just checked my bottle and the top doesn't screw off but I did prise it off with a knife and it clips back on easily and securely
Flora Cuisine Oil is a throw away package.
You can't get refills.
Are you considering refilling one with oil, as you were with a Fairy bottle, given the cheap, suitable and effective suggestions given on here?
works a treat, no need to squeze just hold the plastic bottle over the pan and
a few drops of oil fall out .
make sure you clearly label it ........ cooking oil ......... as it will look like
lemon washing up liquid..... someone could squirt it into the sink !
You do know that it is not food grade plastic and it could contain contaminants? Also, how ever much you was it, some of the liquid could be embedded into the plastic.
No way would i use a washing up liquid bottle for any food.
Noise, I agree with you on that one, a washing up liquid bottle is just not a good idea.
Not sure I understand what the problem is with ordinary supermarket oil bottles, the ones I buy always seem to be capable of letting you drip a very small amount into a pan.
OK it could be a problem if you are unlucky enough to have poor grip or very shakey hands, but in that case you'd be better off, and safer, spending just a few quid on something designed for the job.
As was pointed out to you before you even posted this, you cannot use a washing-up bottle to store anything that you are going to eat. What's wrong with the cheap alternatives that have been suggested to you?
old fairy plastic bottles
Are you that tight that you will not pay out for something made for the job, that is pretty cheap anyway?
there I said it
i use fry light , used it tonight in the wok
