Material
Most oil dispensers are made from glass, although stainless steel options are also popular. Glass oil dispensers make it easy to see how much oil you have left, and they’re very stylish. They keep the oil fresh, although they can get scratched if they’re not looked after properly.
Steel dispensers are durable and less susceptible to damage. Although stylish and contemporary, they lack the stylish appearance of glass. Many dispensers are made from a combination of glass and stainless steel.
Design
Oil dispensers are made up of a single bottle, with variations when it comes to the spout and seal. Some dispensers have a measuring scale on the side so you can see how much you’re using.
Spouts control the flow of oil and can make dispensers easier to use. Spouts with a cap will prevent your oil from becoming contaminated. Most dispensers will come with a silicone seal that will prevent the oil from spilling if it is tipped or knocked over. Some oil dispensers allow you to pour freely, others are designed for drizzling.
Capacity
If you use a lot of oil day to day, a dispenser with a capacity of 500ml or more is the best option. If you only use oil once in a while, a smaller dispenser will get the job done. Some oil dispensers come with 2 bottles in a pack in different sizes. This allows you to use one bottle for olive oil, and the other for vinegar or another liquid.
