Oil, NEVER throw away this part of the cap: it is very important | That’s exactly what it’s for.

💡 Bonus: Repurpose It

Even if your bottle doesn’t come with a pour spout-style insert, you can repurpose this piece in other clever ways:

• Use it as a makeshift stopper for vinegar or sauces.
• Turn it into a slow-flow pourer for dish soap or hand soap refills.
• Use it to seal and reseal bottles when storing homemade oils or dressings.

🔄 A Small Piece With a Big Purpose

So the next time you open a new bottle of oil and see that little plastic insert, resist the urge to toss it. It’s not just packaging—it’s a built-in tool designed to make your life easier in the kitchen.

Final Thought

It’s funny how such a small, overlooked detail can make a big difference in how we cook. Now that you know the trick, share it with a friend or family member and watch their reaction—“Wait… that’s what it’s for? You’re kidding me!”

Because in the kitchen, sometimes the best hacks are the ones hiding in plain sight.
