Would this container hold and dispense peanut oil? Sounds wacky, I know.

If it was cool and you would have to prop it up in the back to get a better flow on such thick liquid (versus water based drinks). I don't see why it couldn't do it.

I would suggest glass over plastic so it doesn't get the plastic taste but it would at least hold it. I'm pretty sure it would clog up the spout though.

It really depends on the viscosity of the oil. If too thick then, no, because it is going through a small opening/valve. If, however, the oil is similar to a light salad oil, then I'd say yes, assuming that residue doesn't harden and cake up.

It is not a good idea to put essential oils into something plastic like this. It will slowly degrade the plastic. You would want a diffuser, not a humidifier.

I think it would be fine, I have not tried that yet, but it would give the peanut flavor.

Maybe. I never had that happen. I think the container would probably crack.

I don't know whether that would work or not but I doubt it. The container fits in there smoothly and I'm not sure another container would have the same result.

I don't think the unit would handle liquids well. Probably make a big mess.

I have two such containers that I use for storing bird seed, and have always just poured the seed directly into the container or left it in the bag (whichever is most convenient.) In some cases peanuts were stored for months without problems. The main attraction is that it keeps the critters out of the food.

Possible, but not optimal. There is a small hole meant for pouring contents into the lid or another cup.

I imagine so, but it is a small bottle. Johnson's baby oil would be a more economical choice.

Yes. Thats all I use because when it heat up it bubbles and then when you put the food in it takes up room so in order to keep it from spilling over you don't fill it all the way up. They put a mark on the inside to indicate where the oil should good....great little item...

There's a small metal reservoir, about 1/2 cm deep with a 1/4 cm diameter, by the nossle. I have not used it yet, but it seems that you place a few drops of essential oil in there.

There is a tray on the bottom that slides out. Put a few drops of your favorite oil in there.

I doubt if it will fit any olive oil can I ever saw. Maybe a retail glass bottle with a typical opening like a soda bottle - but not a can.

No.. it usually stays put as it is really designed for small amounts or gently pouring, like a drizzle. not usually intended for globs of oil. Bit mine did fall out once in about two years of use. and I just cleaned it and put it back

I don't see why not...as long as it's all dry contents -- you don't want to get the unit wet. But yes, this would make a handy way to shift around a larger amount of foodstuffs in the pantry...Hey, now you've given me a new organizing idea! ;-)

If you are planning to use the spice jars to hold the essential oils, I would think you might run into some trouble. The jar included in the set have plastic lids and are definitely not air tight (many have mentioned that the more finely grated spices spill out of the lid) so you could not only have the mess of the oil spilling out, but the smells would presumably escape as well. But if you are planning to leave the oils in their original jars and just use the bamboo case to store them, that might work (if the dimensions are right). Hope that helps.

definitely not! the unit is prone to leaking and you could find the entire contents on the counter. i tossed mine!
