Product Information

This article was written by Brigitt Earley, a freelance writer who has spent the last 10-plus years researching the best home goods and kitchen items for various digital publications, including The Spruce and Good Housekeeping. From kitchen tools and accessories to small appliances, she’s covered it all. Though a simple kitchen tool, the type of sprayer varies from bottle to bottle. Non-aerosol oil sprayers are considered superior since they don’t contain any potentially harmful propellants. There are even more specific styles, though. Some oil sprayers use pressure valves, while others use trigger mechanisms or pumps. In general, they are all effective—it’s more about the quality of the particular model you’re considering. If you’re washing by hand, your approach will depend a bit on how often it’s cleaned. If you clean it often, a grease-cutting detergent, like Dawn, and warm water should do it. Just put a few drops of soap in, and then let it sit for five minutes or more. Hold your finger on the top and shake. Though porcelain is known for being a more delicate ceramic material, this dispenser is dishwasher safe. Our tester reported using the dishwasher to clean the bottle worked well, noting it looked good as new with no markings or issues after a rinse cycle. Though function is more important than fashion when it comes to oil sprayer, style is still something to consider. If you use cooking oil frequently, you may end up just leaving the sprayer out on the counter, so it ought to look nice. There are a ton of styles, shapes, colors, and materials available, so you should be able to find one that matches your personal aesthetic.

Light, heat, and oxygen degrade olive oil, so it’s important to find a dispenser that will protect it from all of the above. If you prefer a clear glass dispenser, that’s fine. Just know that your olive oil won’t stay fresh for as long as it would in something darker or opaque. These oil dispensers are just like any other pouring bottle. But not all oil dispensers are created equal. Some are more difficult to use than others, and certain ones don't dispense the right amount of oil. There are some oil dispensers with adjustable nozzles, single and double pump models, and they are convenient enough to use. Choose the one which is easy to use and maintain. Aesthetically pleasing design If you plan to use your oil mister for grilling, it’s extremely important to have something durable—the last thing you want is broken glass on your patio. This spray bottle fits the bill since it's made from plastic. Don’t worry: It’s latex-, BPA-, and DEHP-free. Though it has a subtle design, if you’re looking for a quality and minimalistic dispenser you can depend on for all of your oil needs, that’s pretty easy on your wallet; this is your bottle. Overall, this olive oil dispenser won our tester over as one of her favorites for its quality and versatility.The next thing you might want to look into is the size of the bottle. The ideal bottle holds up to 1 liter of oil and is easy to store in your kitchen. What if you don't have a lot of space in your kitchen? Rachel Ray Cucina Ceramics EVOO Bottle Dispenser: From the eccentric shape to the vibrant color, this model was a statement piece for the countertop. Unfortunately, its shape made it difficult to clean, plus it was awkward to hold and refill. A lazy susan near the stove is an excellent place to store a small oil dispenser. You might also like having a salt box, pepper grinder and containers of flour and sugar there.

Sometimes simplicity is key, especially with kitchen appliances and accessories. If you’re a fan of stainless steel in your kitchen or are just looking for a reliable and versatile dispenser that can hold a large volume of oil, Flyboo’s Stainless Steel Olive Oil Dispenser is your best bet. To keep your sprayer in tip-top condition, wipe the nozzle after use to prevent clogs. And if you’re using a glass or plastic oil sprayer, be sure to store it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, as this can cause premature degradation. In general, it’s best to keep your mister in a moderate and dark environment—like inside one of your kitchen cabinets. Crate and Barrel Oil Bottle: Although it was similar to the Zulay dispenser, this bottle had more dripping due to the hinge-top flap on the spout.We love that the side of the glass bottle has measurements on it, too. This makes it extremely easy to whip up your favorite dressing directly in the bottle if you prefer something a little more flavorful than a duo of olive oil and vinegar. The set presents an excellent value. It also comes with a basting brush, a cleaning brush, and a funnel for easy filling. Christine Clark is a food and beverage writer and cheese educator. She and her partner both spend a lot of time in the kitchen and buy olive oil in bulk. As such, an olive oil dispenser is essential and she is firmly in the farmhouse dispenser camp. She lives in Burlington, Vermont. To help you find the best olive oil dispensers to up your kitchen game, we sent top-rated dispensers to ourexperienced product tester. Each one was carefully tested during hours of home kitchen testing and used to drizzle while cooking, assessed on the freshness of olive oil, and cleaned thoroughly. The dispensers were then all rated on design, capacity, ease of use, ease of cleaning, and overall value. Generally, oil sprayers come in three different materials: glass, stainless steel, and plastic. The most common type of container is glass since it's naturally chemical-free, doesn’t absorb smells or flavors, and has an elegant aesthetic. Stainless steel is also a popular choice because it’s extremely durable, plus has a protected interior that makes the oil less susceptible to degradation. Plastic is also a nice option for busy kitchens because it's lightweight, durable, and easy to clean. It’s also budget-friendly. Unfortunately, though, plastic can retain odors and flavors over time. The Evo Stainless Steel Oil Mister is a very popular option because it delivers a nice, even coat of cooking oil without the hassle of pumping before spraying. (And, no, it doesn’t require any propellants, either.) The spray bottle—an 18/8 stainless steel bottle with a BPA-free plastic sprayer—has an easy-to-use ergonomic trigger. Simply pull once to release the cooking oil inside the bottle. Even better, each pull releases a very reliable 1/4 teaspoon of oil, so you know exactly how much you’re depositing onto your food or cooking surface.

To clean an oil dispenser, empty the remaining oil and then use warm soapy water to wash away any residue. Be sure to rinse well and dry thoroughly before refilling it. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning, as these can damage the dispenser or contaminate the oil. Oil dispensers are usually made of ceramic or metal or glass. Ones that don’t allow you to see inside keep oils out of the light and help them retain freshness, but glass versions can be very attractive on your table while allowing you to see how much you have left. A darker glass oil bottle (such as a green olive oil dispenser) can provide protection against oxidation, so your oil will last longer.Olipac Olino Olive Oil Dispenser: The stainless steel of the Olino was left smudged and slippery as oil dripped down the side after each pour, leaving a ring on the countertop.
