Still the most dripless dispenser I have tried, and I could hold a garage
sale with all the gadgets I've tried. I've since gone back and like their
toothpick dispenser (the cheap one) and the syrup dispenser.

The undisputed king of oil dispensers has to be the cheap clear plastic
squeeze bottle - The style you typically find in Red and Yellow at the
hotdog stand... Absolutely no drippage...

The runner up would have to go to an empty Sriracha bottle... This
bottle looks cooler but the twisty nozzle tends to get a little greasy...

Restaurants use those yellow and red ones as dispensers to fill up their
salt and pepper shakers too.

Fill it with dishwashing soap and it will look lovely next to your
sink.

These bottles also make great "finish" tools for things like chocolate
drizzles over desserts, decorative swoops for sauces over vegetables,
etc.

I bet bottom-spouted reagent bottles are the best,
but I'm not popping for one just to find out.

P.S. Does anyone have a link to the subject bottle? I kept trying
the brand name in search engines (including BBBY's) and the
results were ambiguous. I didn't see anything I'd trust.

This sort looks like it'd be pretty drip-resistant, if a little twee:

I use this sort (they're like $2.99 at Cost-Plus) and wipe
a lot:

I've had more than one of these type...outside is chronically slimey.

I'd do that if I used it once in a while, but the open spout is quick. The BBBY
bottle has a top rather like a spout seen on liquer bottles at a bar.

I know you'll be able to figure out which is the oil dispenser :>

"twee"? Does that mean expensive?

That one, I don't like.

Thanks.

>I know you'll be able to figure out which is the oil dispenser :>

Yep.

I thought it would be something funky.

I was at cost plus, and pour spouts are like $2.99, and there
are dozens of kinds of bottles they'd fit.

It's a slightly pejorative word for "cute".

I'm starting not to. It leaves a ring wherever I set it down.

Which is why I'm looking at spouts and bottles.

I use a old Plastic heinz ketchup bottle. It has a snap closing lid and
squirts oil quite nicely.

FYI, I've done spout before, too. The Tablecraft one is either better quality
rubber or a better fit or something. The outside of the bottle doesn't end up
oily, and the plate my dispenser de jour sits on isn't a mass of oil rings
either.

Might look lovely, but there is a reason why dishwashing detergent and
shampoo no longer are packaged in glass bottles. Ever try keeping a
hold on a glass bottle with soapy hands? Not only is glass harder to
grip than plastic when it's wet and soapy, but if it ever did slip out
of your hands, glass breaks. You'd have a soapy mess, might even hurt
yourself.

Don't put dishwashing detergent in a glass bottle.

A while back I too asked about squeeze bottles for dispensing oil.
After some experimenting, I'm now using a 24 oz. plastic "wash bottle"
that I got from US Plastics. They have hundreds of bottles, jars and
containers to pick from.

http://www.usplastic.com

The bottle is filled from the top through wide screw-top. As you
squeeze the bottle the oil is dispensed through an inner tube out
through a side nozzle. The nozzle itself is very thin so you get great
"drizzle" conrol. After squirting the oil, the nozzle does tend to
drip a few drops of oil but I found a small cap end from another bottle
(drop dispenser bottle also from US Plastic) that fits as a nozzle
stopper The bottle is red, opaque plastic so it keeps light out and
even the nozzle can be detached for easy cleaning.

I'm not affiliated with US Plastic in any way. I've just ordered a few
of these bottles and have had great success with them and wanted to t
pass along my solution.
