Has anyone tried one of these? I’m thinking of using it for salad dressing but wonder if the creamy ones would be too thick?? It has the tablespoon measurements on it which would be great to measure out a serving if it works. I found them on Amazon. They are made for oil and vinegar but I want to use it for my yogurt ranch. I may get one just for thanksgiving day though cause my husband uses olive oil for the Turkey and I want him to see just how much he uses. Lol

Interesting. I have never really measured olive oil lol. I know it has lots of calories but its a healthy thing to have (obviously not a bunch) I cook with it and cover my meats with it before adding seasoning.

Pre surgery I never measured it but when Calorie counting I measure everything. And salad dressing I have been measuring in those little one ounce cups because one ounce is two tablespoons which is one serving but I thought maybe the bottle would be easier. If I don’t get an answer here I’m thinking for 9 bucks it’s worth a try.

I think its worth a try and it is a good price. I have just poured some oil in a pan and fried some meatballs and poured the remainder away. The remainder is way more than I thought, I was trying to make a really heathy dish, not as healthy as I thought.

Yea I know I use a lot more dressing than a serving or two if I don’t measure it. I mostly use the spray pam for cooking but dressing is high calorie too so it adds up quick. If you haven’t tried pam you should try it. You don’t get the oil flavor of course but I have totally gotten used to it now and use it for everything.

I have thought of getting one too. I use Pam (or equivalent) for everything. I was thinking that I could get the weight before and then after so I can log the grams of oil used.

Like you, I log everything but especially any product with oil. Oil is super calorie dense. Healthy or not, it can seriously change my calorie deficit.

I ordered this and it DID work for my salad dressing in terms of it being thicker. The only thing I didn’t like is that the cap is not air tight so once the dressing is up in the lid I worry about it not being sealed. I use yogurt dressing so I’m not sure that’s safe. I’m sure for oil it will be fine though. I just washed it out and I’m going to put olive oil in it and stick to my little disposable containers for my dressing.

My son showed me how to make his cashew sauce. Soak unsalted cashews in hot water 1 hour. Puree with little of the water. Add a whole bunch of cilantro leaves to it. Second batch he added Sriracha. These sauces were great and great protein. I'm adding an Asian sweet chili sauce.
