Customer Reviews

Terrific item - but be careful.4
Pros - easy to measure oil, stable/won't tip - measuring right in the
baster thingy - attractive.

Cons - be careful! I lifted mine up by the neck and the neck came OFF!
It is NOT securely attached to the base (pear shaped part). Oil
went everywhere as it fell to the floor. BUT I was determined,
washed it all and CRAZY GLUED the neck (baster holder part)
to the base (pear shaped part). I recommend that you don't ever
lift it by the neck! What a horrible mess that was - and
very unexpected as I thought the unit was all one piece - it is
not. Oh, yeah, don't expect the baster to hold all the oil
well until it gets to your salad - plenty of "drip potential"
there so always move whatever you are moving the liquid to right
TO the oil dispenser! Do NOT put this item near your oven or
range or anything that an accidental drip from the baster or heat
would melt the dispenser/fire hazard. Hard to clean as oil
naturally would be from plastic. I do not know if dishwasher
safe / does not feel like it...?

Tip: Do not fill it up all the way up to the neck. If you do the
baster part gets all oily (or whatever is in the base). Only
fill it to the fill line.

Conclusion - TERRIFIC item. Just a few cautions / but works great and
the measuring part is a MUST. DO BUY THIS - you won't
be sorry at all...just be cautious with it in all ways.
I AM very happy with mine / even if I have crazy glued the
neck to the base - its a keeper! I expect tupperware
or equivalent to come out with an improved $-ier version.
Until then, try this. Carefully.

An Invaluable Tool5
The Progressive oil dispenser is an invaluable kitchen tool. Although it can be used for any oil, my wife and I use it for olive oil and it makes cooking simpler and neater. An especially nice feature is its built in measurements. We have given many away to friends and relatives and will continue to do so in the future. It looks nice on the counter, too!

This product is brilliant5
I do Weight Watchers and according to the program, we are supposed to have 2 teaspoons of healthy oil each day. Well, as you can imagine, all my measuring spoons were constantly in the wash, and it was a real hassle. This dispensing oil bottle is like a dream come true. I bought two, one for flax oil that I keep in the fridge, and the other for olive oil that I keep in the cupboard. Its easy to use, keeps the oil fresh, and its fun.
