“Every kitchen needs these.”

“Every kitchen needs these.”

One of my biggest kitchen pet peeves is accidentally pouring too much olive oil into a pan. While there are some great cooking oil sprayers on the market, I prefer the efficiency and precision of a quick drizzle, which is why I’m eyeing the restaurant-quality OXO Good Grips Chef’s Squeeze Bottle Set. The duo has more than 13,200 perfect ratings, with shoppers saying that “every kitchen needs these.”

The squeeze bottle set comes with 12- and 16-ounce bottles that are also sold separately, but you’ll save $6 by getting the bundle. At about $7 per bottle, the two-piece set is an affordable way to upgrade your kitchen setup. Although they may look the same at first glance, the smaller bottle comes with a thinner tip — but you can easily swap it with the cap on the larger bottle. The clear plastic bottles are easy to squeeze and have measurement markings, which make it convenient to eyeball ingredients without dirtying a measuring cup. The oil dispensers are also dishwasher-safe when you’re ready to swap out the contents.

One reviewer was surprised by how “thoughtfully made” the dispensers are. “The texture on the bottle makes a big difference — even with slightly wet or greasy hands, they’re easy to grip and control without slipping,” they said. “The nozzle gives a smooth, consistent squeeze for sauces, oils, or dressings, and the snap-on cap fits snugly and stays put, which keeps things clean and leak-free.” A second customer called the bottles “sturdy” and well-made,” proclaiming that “OXO never disappoints.”

Whether you just made a fresh batch of pesto or always have homemade salad dressing on hand, like this shopper, the bottles are durable enough to easily dispense thin oils and thick sauces alike. One person wondered how they ever cooked without the bottles, adding that their husband said these are the “single best kitchen gadget” they’ve bought in 30 years. “[They’re] great to have on the kitchen counter or in a nearby cabinet for the quick squeeze of a few tablespoons of oil into a hot pan or pot, and they’ve never dripped, spilled, leaked, etc.”

OXO sells an outdoor cooking version for keeping marinades and condiments within reach while you grill. There’s also a glass dispenser set for oil and vinegar, but you won’t get the same control as you do with the Good Grips Chef’s Squeeze Bottle. No matter which you choose, you’ll be glad not to waste oil or sauce again.
