Oil and Vinegar Bottle 2-in-1 in Borosilicate Glass

The construction is the heart of this oil and vinegar cruet. The inner chamber forms a column of stacked spheres and is closed with a cork at the top. The outer chamber surrounds it and has a spout on the side, also closed with a cork. Both liquids stay cleanly separated even though you only hold one object in your hand.

The two chambers hold 60 ml and 300 ml. The manufacturer does not state which volume belongs to which chamber, and the clear glass shows you both levels at a glance anyway.

The clear borosilicate glass reveals the colour and the level of oil and vinegar. The bottle measures around 7.3 x 7.3 x 23 cm and weighs about 186 g, standing tall and narrow on a square footprint.

Anyone who makes salad often reaches for both bottles at once. This one puts them together. It fits on a laid table, on a tray beside the hob or in a small kitchen where every centimetre counts. As a gift it works for a housewarming, as something to bring along to dinner or as a Christmas present, because it is useful and needs no explanation.

Put the corks back after use: they seal securely and stop anything running out when you carry the bottle from the table back to the kitchen. Before a cycle in the dishwasher, take both corks out; without the corks the container is dishwasher-safe according to the manufacturer.

Because each chamber has its own spout, you can pour oil and then vinegar straight over the salad without swapping bottles. On the dining table, give the slim column of glass spheres a spot where it can be seen. As a present, add a bottle of olive oil and a good vinegar, and the cruet is ready to use straight away.

Do the oil and vinegar really stay separate? Yes. The double base with the inner glass spheres creates two chambers of their own, each with its own spout and its own cork.

How much does the bottle hold? The two chambers hold 60 ml and 300 ml. The manufacturer does not state which chamber takes which volume.

How big is the bottle? It measures around 7.3 x 7.3 x 23 cm and weighs about 186 g, so it stands tall and narrow on the table.

Can the bottle go in the dishwasher? Without the corks the container is dishwasher-safe according to the manufacturer. Remove the corks beforehand.

Does it work as a gift? Yes, it suits a housewarming, a dinner invitation or Christmas, especially for home cooks and salad lovers.
