Most homes have olive oil. It is used in many ways, like cooking and making salad dressing.

The packaging has a little-known function. If you spill oil when pouring, there's a solution.

A technique can stop spills. Don't throw away the plastic tab under the cap.

The tab is not just for preventing contamination. It can also control oil flow.

A foodie on TikTok showed how to use the tab to pour oil neatly.

They removed the tab, turned it upside down, and put it back. The oil poured out in a steady stream.

The cook was happy with the result. Others were impressed too.

People commented on the tip. One said it was genius and manufacturers should share it.

Don't throw away the tab when you open a new bottle. It can help you save oil.

You can infuse olive oil with garlic or herbs in minutes. Then use it for sauces or vegetables.

To roast vegetables, heat the tray and toss them in olive oil. This gives them a crispy edge.

Add olive oil to pasta with some water. This helps the sauce stick and makes the pasta look better.

To make a simple dressing, mix olive oil with lemon or vinegar. Add salt and pepper, and shake well.

Brush olive oil on old bread and toast it. This makes a quick and easy snack.
