Disadvantages: easy to bump, fall on the ground will be easy to break.
Second, the capacity of the oil pot to choose
Capacity is too small, it will soon run out, often need to supplement the cooking oil, the capacity is too large, the use of inconvenience, and long time is easy to oxidize, so choose the right capacity is also essential.
1. Small capacity of about 300ml
Small capacity oil bottles are compact, easy to store, easy to use, more suitable for small population, or infrequent cooking family use.
2.Medium capacity 500ml
The common ones are 500ml, 550ml, 650ml, which are more suitable for most of the ordinary families with 3-4 members, and do not need to replenish the oil as often as small oil bottles.
3.Large capacity 700-800ml

Oil pots marked with a scale, conducive to better control the amount of cooking oil, calculate the amount of oil for each meal, or even each dish, and control, the key to buy oil pots or to control the amount of oil, so there is a scale, the scale is sufficiently dense, and only really useful.
Therefore, we should prioritize the selection of fine scale, such as 10ml precision measurement, you can more accurately control the amount of oil for each meal, or even each dish.
Fourth, the oil pot pouring method selection
Pouring oil mainly depends on the design of the spout, not only can facilitate the pouring of oil, but also better control of the amount of oil, at the same time, but also pay attention to the spout does not hang oil, the oil will not flow down the spout, and the spout has a certain degree of sealing, to prevent dirt into.
More labor-saving and convenient is the gravity oil pot, use only tilt to pour oil can be, do not need to be
1.how to choose the length of the spout?
In general, the longer the spout, the more convenient to pour oil, can be accurately poured to the desired location, but also relatively easy to hang oil, so where possible, try to choose a slightly longer spout oil pot.
But it is not easy too long, because it will not only take up space in the kitchen, and will be slightly cumbersome, especially more than one oil pots placed together, it will be very inconvenient to take and use.
2.the thinness of the spout:
In general, the thinner the spout, the easier it is to control, pouring oil will be more convenient, thicker spout, when pouring oil, it is easier to hang oil, making the oil flow down the spout, the formation of pollution.
In order to pour oil more accurately, while doing not hang oil, many oil pots of the oil spout using a tilted design or the design of the sharp corners of the bias, can better ensure that the pouring of oil does not drag, better control.
