Dripless Oil Bottle Won't Pour Any More

[lt1jane]

HELP! I love my dripless oil bottle, but it will no longer pour! If I take the lid off and clean it and run water through it, it works just fine. As soon as I put the lid on the bottle, I get nothing. Why won't the oil pour?

Sounds like it's time to call the HO. Could be you got a defective one.

I love my dripless oil bottles too! Sorry to hear your having issues with yours. I agree, you should give home office a call. I have been having a completely different issue with mine. . .the suction seems to get so tight that it's almost impossible to get the lids off. I don't over tighten because I can never un-tighten anything, but it still happens every time. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, both my mom and my sister have had theirs break due to the really tight lids. I have found that our Flexible Openers help a lot. I hold the bottom of the jar with the small one which kind of suctions on. Then I grip the top with the large one. It works like a charm. Still, I don't understand how they get on so tightly and stick so much!Shari in TX

Thanks for the tip Shari! Glad to know it's not just me. Yes, I already had to send one back because it broke when my husband was trying to unscrew it. So now he won't help me unscrew them at all!:cry: He's scared he'll break another one. . .lol.

Shari, thanks for the heads up on these breaking!
We make caprese sandwiches a lot, so I mixed the oil & vinegar and put it in one of these dripless bottles with the vinegar lid. When I say "we", I mean my husband makes them for us, haha. Come to find out he has not been using this bottle. He said it wouldn't pour. I figured it might be, the vinegar lid might have a smaller opening than the oil lid so I was going to switch them out.

That vinegar lid was IMPOSSIBLE to get off and I was afraid I'd break the bottle, even using the flexible openers. What I did was, put it in the fridge for about an hour or so, hoping the low temp would kind of shrink the glass bottom a bit. It worked! I was able to unscrew it with my bare hands!
