Quick answer
Use the KPM Berlin LAB BULB Kitchen-Set as a stylish oil and vinegar bottle set by filling each bulb with your preferred oil or vinegar, then pouring directly over salads or dishes. The contrast between white porcelain and warm wood makes it a functional and beautiful kitchen tool.
Why the LAB BULB Works as an Oil and Vinegar Set
The LAB BULB Kitchen-Set is designed as a multifunctional piece that adapts to various kitchen tasks, including dressing salads and plating dishes. Its bulbous shape and narrow neck allow controlled pouring, reducing drips and waste compared to wide-mouth containers.
The material mix of porcelain and wood fits both modern and classic kitchens without feeling out of place. This means you can keep the set on your countertop for daily use, not just special occasions.
How to use the LAB BULB Kitchen-Set for oil and vinegar
- Fill each bulb with your chosen liquid: Unscrew the wooden cap and pour olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or another dressing into the bulb. Fill only to the base of the neck to avoid overflow when pouring. Use a small funnel if needed to prevent spills on the porcelain surface. Avoid overfilling – leave at least 1 cm of space below the rim to allow for expansion and easy handling.
- Screw the cap on firmly: Twist the wooden cap back onto the bulb until snug, but do not overtighten. A secure seal prevents leaks when you tilt the bottle, but overtightening can crack the porcelain or strip the wood threads over time. Check the cap seal before each use – if it feels loose, the liquid may drip during pouring.
- Pour and dress your dish: Hold the bulb by its neck or body and tilt gently to pour. The narrow opening controls the flow, so you can add a thin stream of oil or a few drops of vinegar. For vinaigrettes, pour both liquids directly onto greens and toss. Pour slowly – the narrow neck can cause a sudden gush if tilted too quickly.
- Clean after each use: Rinse the bulb with warm water and mild soap after each use, especially if you filled it with vinegar, which can leave residue. Use a bottle brush to reach the bottom. Let it air dry completely before refilling to prevent mold or odor. Do not soak the wooden cap – wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately to preserve the wood finish.
