My malt vinegar bottle has nearly run out and I have just noticed that they are no longer made to be refillable ie the flip-top lid no longer unscrews.
So I decided to buy a greasy cafe type vinegar shaker but then wondered about them not having lids and the vinegar going stale when open to the air.
Other vinegar bottles tend to be the type found in oil and vinegar sets and although they have little stoppers, I have always found that they pour out too much vinegar.
Does anyone know of a vinegar bottle that doesn't pour and has a lid/stopper?
Here's what you do : Get a "to-go" cup (take out cup of some sort) that you can invert the bottle into. Fill cup with about 2inches (5cm) of boiling water, and invert the bottle in it. Leave for 5 mins.
Get a cloth and take the bottle out. Using the cloth pull the lid and it will come free. Put the lid back into the boiled water while you fill the bottle. Then just pop the lid back on, and leave to "refit" itself.
