Why You Shouldn't Leave an Open Bottle of Sunflower Oil in the Kitchen Cupboard: The Fat Will Have to Be Poured Out
Probably, every prudent housewife has a bottle of sunflower oil in her kitchen cupboard.
Yes, yes, in the fact that it is located next to the kitchen stove - it is so convenient when everything you need is at hand.
But this method of storing vegetable fat is a gross mistake, and here’s why.
To know how to properly handle vegetable oil, you don’t need to have any special talent – just carefully study the label attached to the bottle.
Here, as a rule, the manufacturer places information about product storage.
Most of them strongly advise not to leave the bottle of oil in a warm place after opening.
Even room temperature is not suitable.
It is best to store the oil in a cool, dark place to extend its shelf life.
This doesn't mean you can't keep oil in your kitchen cabinets at all - feel free to leave it there, just not in those located near heating appliances and burners.
The product will spoil, become bitter and, therefore, unfit for consumption if left on a shelf exposed to direct sunlight.
That's why those cooks who responsibly put away an open bottle of sunflower oil are doing the right thing.
Here it can be safely placed on the top shelf or on the door.
