Question 1

Love the oil, but don't like how it makes a mess of the can when it pours.  Is there a technique to avoid a mess on the can after use?

Accepted Answer

When you  buy a tin of olive oil you need to make a hole with a nail at the other opposite end of the opening of the spigot.  This helps the breathing of the can when pouring in to an olive oil canister.  make sure to cover the nail hole with the same nail as to not permit any critters to fall in.  Your problems will be solved.

Question 2

I see complaints about pouring, how does everyone else do it who love this oil?

Accepted Answer

My parents always had olive oil in a can like this. They pierced the top on diagonal corners by slightly hammering a knife point, making two small holes, one for pouring and one for venting. Always works great!

Question 3

Is the description wrong? I see 101 oz tin in the title and 3 oz net of oil in the description. How much olive oil is in this tin?

Accepted Answer

Jo, it's 101 oz, 3 liters (not oz as in the description). The company should correct that because observant people like you may not buy when they see that.

Question 4

I see complaints about pouring, how does everyone else do it who love this oil?

Accepted Answer

It's practically impossible to pour the oil from the spout without dribbling it off the corner of the can.  I cut the lid off the can with one of those can openers that breaks the seal on the edge and pour it into 1 liter glass olive oil bottles saved from other brands.  No metal shards to fall into your olive oil.  No sharp edges either, so you can reuse the tin as a container or vase.  Just be sure to wash your bottles before you reuse them.  I dry mine in the toaster oven to speed things up a bit.
