"If you had an old Italian grandmother, maybe she taught you this trick," she says. "Or maybe it was just my old Italian grandmother."
She recommends saving your old plastic ketchup bottles and storing your oil in them. She makes the whole process easier by decanting the olive oil from a large tin into a measuring cup with a spout and then pouring it into an empty sauce bottle.
With this simple switch, you can have way better quantity control. This also reduces the chances of a dangerous accident with a glass bottle that gets slippery from the oil.
