This thing does TWO jobs—pour OR spray. Tilt it one way and oil pours out for salads. Flip the lever and it sprays a fine mist for pans and air fryers. The glass is thick so you can see how much oil is left, and the wide mouth means refilling doesn’t turn into an oil spill disaster. It holds 470ml so you’re not refilling it every five minutes. My favorite part? The handle is in the back so your hands don’t get greasy. Finally, someone thought this through.
