Would this work for storing and dispensing cooking oils?

Should! May not as long because it is not airtight, but you should be able to store short term. Month or so, I would think.

Should work okay, as the parts all *appear* to be poly-vinyl. That said, there will always remain a decent portion of oil that will not dispense properly toward the end of the jar due to strange design. Also, the design does not permit infusions, as there is no way to strain the particulates away from the pour-spout--a pretty major design flaw, in my opinion. They simply need to re-design the way the speed-pour attaches to the lid, so that a mesh strainer (not unlike the concaved variety used in kitchen sinks) can be inserted between the jar and the speed-pour to prevent particulates from leaving the jar.

I would think so. I have used for various essential and carrier oils with no issues.

yes they would and look nice. i used them for infused olive oil with basil and garlic worked great. everyone thought the jar was wonderful many after uses as well so they would love them

I could put fluid in one and check. However, not really sure I would trust them to hold liquid or even food for that matter. I bought them for documents since they are label by inches and not by quarts or gallons.

This would be a bit small for cookie sheets as it is about 12 inches wide across and 18 inches deep. It could work for some pots and lids. You might want to measure your largest cookie sheet and start your search for storage from there.

the container itself would likely hold cooled oil (not hot grease), but the lid is not airtight, especially with the pour spout. The lid is tight enough that liquids do not seep from the rim, only from the spout. Hope this helps you to judge for your purposes!

I don't believe so, it is designed for cooking not canning. You might fit a few 1/2 pint jars in it. Don't recall it saying anything about canning with it the booklet.

Hi. I don't have problem with storing oil eater inside the bottle sitting in the garage. Keep it away from children & elderly touching chemical. Storing has not problem so far. But becareful if mix with hot water when use. It will be too strong for some plastic. Never use on stainless steel!

I would imagine so if you have the special attachment lids for the jars. HOWEVER, as an avid canner myself, I would NOT recommend sealing jars of food in this fashion. The hot water bath and/or pressure canning systems do more than merely seal the jars. They kill microbes that would otherwise destroy the food and/or make people ill. This is a good unit for saving leftovers, splitting up frozen foods into smaller quantities, and preserving dried foods. I, personally, would not use it for long-term storage of fresh or wet foods.

I would think no, since essential oils can come in quite small vials. The bottom of the shelves is not a solid piece; it is an inch and a half strip of metal with a substantial gap--more than a quarter inch--on either side. The bottles would likely not be stable.

I think it might. Our old farmhouse kitchen is not heated so we store it on the back of the stove. If you are keeping it in the fridge, allow the grease to cool a bit before you pour it in, just to be safe.

I can't imagine why not. If it stores bacon fat after straining, I don't see why you couldn't use it to strain cooking oil. Another way to strain it, is to put some cheese cloth into a funnel, and pour the oil back into the bottle. Mark the bottle as frying/cooking oil only so that you don't grab it for anything else. I use my crock for bacon fat only.

It will work for this application. It is non-stick. It is deep and you may have trouble using it to flip the mixture, though.

That would work. We have actually mounted 3 of them vertically in the cabinet above our stove. I would imagine, though, that if your drawer is deep enough to accommodate the height of the bottles that it will work just fine.

Yes, I believe you could put almost any dry food in these containers. The wheel attached to the dispenser knob is made of thick but slightly flexible rubber that stays flush to the sides of the container as it turns, so even finely ground foods won't fall out (except the portion you want to dispense), and the contents remain relatively air-tight. I have stored nut flour in mine.

You really do not want to store oil long term in plastic. Plastic absorbs oil and taints the oil purity. If you have a small amber glass jar it would be better for use.

Likely. I deep fry and reuse filtered oil. Larger top prevents spills. Tube easily fits in 1 gallon vegetable oil containers.
