People have been left mind-blown after figuring out a little-known trick that can help you pour the perfect amount of olive oil every time.
Most people use the ring pull on a bottle of oil just to simply open the container, but it is actually much more useful than that. By turning it upside down and pushing it back into the spout, you can create enough space for the oil to pour out more slowly and accurately, Mirror UK reports.
This simple hack has impressed people on TikTok, with users amazed that there is such a simple solution to overpouring the oil. Cooking Cards, who posts on TikTok under the same name, showed people how to utilise the ring pull, rather than just throwing it in the bin. The video has since racked up over 6,000 views.
He said: "Ah, don't you hate it when you're pouring oil and it makes a mess everywhere? Well, I do, and trust me, try this hack and you will thank me later."
The creator then removes the pull ring as normal and turns it upside down, pushing it back into where the oil pours from. This means there's enough space around the sides of the plastic tab so the oil can still pour out, but you'll be able to avoid pouring out half of the bottle.
In the comments, people were wondering how they hadn't realised the hack sooner. One person wrote: "Can't believe I did not know this", followed by some exasperated emojis.
Another commented: "Brilliant! I'll be using this!" A third said: "I've lived my whole life not knowing this".
