Brilio.net - Cooking oil is a food ingredient that must be in the kitchen. There's nothing wrong with some people stocking large amounts of cooking oil.
Outside, cooking oil is sold in bottles and plastic packaging. Well, usually plastic packaging cooking oil is often stored as stock. When the cooking oil in the oil bottle runs out, just refill or refill it with oil stock in plastic packaging.
Just pour the plastic packaged cooking oil into the oil bottle slowly. To prevent spilling, most people deliberately put a funnel at the mouth of the oil bottle. That way, the oil bottle will be full again.
But there's no need to worry if you don't have a funnel at home, it turns out there are other methods that can be used to pour cooking oil into oil bottles. The method was shown by a mother from TikTok user @umma.nuh.ibrahim. At the beginning of the video, he appears to just pour cooking oil into a bottle. Because without a funnel , cooking oil would spill out irregularly.

As a solution, he immediately took out a simple tool, namely chopsticks. Take one chopstick and place it in the mouth of the oil bottle while holding the end in your hand.

If so, pour the cooking oil in the oil packet onto the chopsticks. That way, the cooking oil will flow down the chopsticks and eventually fall into the oil bottle regularly. Do this process until the oil bottle is full again.

At the end of the video, these mothers also show practical ways to clean oil spills. Instead of wiping with a tissue, just sprinkle enough flour on the oil spill stain.

Then stir with your hands until all the spilled cooking oil is completely absorbed by the flour. If so, just collect it and throw away the lumpy wheat flour. Practical, right?
"The results were immediate," said the owner of the video, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @umma.nuh.ibrahim on Friday (8/3).

How to store cooking oil so it lasts a long time.
To store cooking oil so that it lasts and lasts a long time, you can follow the following tips:
1. Use a closed container.
Transfer the cooking oil into a tightly closed airtight container once it has cooled. This will help prevent oxidation and absorption of odors or tastes from the surrounding air.
2. Store in a cool and dark place.
Place the cooking oil container in a cool, dark place, such as a cupboard or storage room in the kitchen. Exposure to light and heat can speed up the oil oxidation process.
3. Keep away from direct heat and light sources.
Avoid storing oil near heat sources such as a stove or oven. High temperatures can accelerate oil deterioration. Also, keep it away from direct sunlight because ultraviolet light can damage the oil.
4. Strain the oil after use.
After using it for frying, filter the oil with a fine sieve to remove small particles that can speed up the oxidation process. Let the oil cool before straining.
5. Avoid contamination.
Make sure storage containers, filters, and tools used to handle oil are clean of dirt or other residue. Contamination can accelerate oil deterioration.
6. Use clean oil.
Do not mix used oil with new oil. This can speed up the oxidation process and shorten the shelf life of new oil.
7. Watch for signs of damage.
Watch for changes in color, odor, or cloudiness in the oil. If these changes occur, you should throw away the oil because it is no longer suitable for use.
By following the tips above, you can store cooking oil properly and extend its shelf life. However, remember that oil will deteriorate over time, so be sure to check the oil regularly and replace it if necessary.
