Vegetable oil is one of those products that is probably found in every kitchen.

But not all housewives know the rules for storing oil, because of which it acquires an unpleasant smell and can become bitter in taste.

We are talking about the habit of cooks to put a bottle of sunflower oil in the refrigerator for storage, while the optimal storage temperature ranges from +5 to +20 degrees.

Therefore, the most suitable place to leave a bottle of vegetable oil is a cool cabinet.

Make sure that there is a minimum amount of light coming in and that the cabinet itself is clean.

If exposure to sunlight cannot be avoided, pour the oil into a dark bottle.

When changing factory containers, give preference to glass.

Another important point: it is necessary that the container closes well.
