Squeeze Bottle

I love to cook, so I watch America's Test Kitchen on television, even though I cannot make most of the recipes.  One day, I saw the chef using a clear plastic bottle with a nozzle, sort of like the ketchup bottles at diners.  The America's Teat Kitchen crew were using the bottle for vegetable oil.  I get my canola oil at Costco in large bottles, so making a mess once to fill the squeeze bottle is definitely better than making a mess every time I want to use oil.  I got two clear plastic squeeze bottles at Bed Bath & Beyond.  I have not decided what to put in the second bottle, but I suppose it could be anything.  Any ideas?

Pourfect Products

I love to cook but am still getting used to new ways of doing things after my stroke last year.  I found a manufacturer that makes various cooking products that may be of help to the single handed cook.  See the products at http://pourfectbowl.com/.  I bought the large bowls in a set of three from Amazon.  They have features that are very helpful to me like rubber bottom rings for non-slip, a handle and wings at the elongated spout with which to pour, and an egg cracking edge (which I have not mastered.)

Scraping a bowl while pouring is impossible with one hand which is why I got the Pourfect bowls so I could pour my concoctions into the pan or other cooking container.

  If you have tried any of the other products, please comment here!  Thanks!
