Product Information
Full details
This Silk Route Home 2-in-1 dispenser is for home cooks and entertainers seeking a streamlined way to store and serve both oil and vinegar. Its key benefit is combining two essential condiments into one stylish, space-saving container with separate pouring spouts. A minor caveat is the smaller capacity for vinegar, which may require more frequent refilling for heavy users. This dispenser features a unique dual-compartment design, crafted from hand-blown borosilicate glass, with an internal 70ml section for vinegar and an external 300ml section for oil, totaling 370ml. It includes two cork lids to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.

Troubleshooting
Dispenser leaks from the spout.
Ensure the non-drip spout is correctly seated and not damaged. Check if the liquid level is too high, potentially causing overflow.
Cork lid does not seal properly.
Ensure the cork is dry and clean. If the cork appears worn or damaged, consider replacing it. Gently press the cork to ensure a snug fit.
Difficulty filling the inner compartment.
Use a small funnel to accurately fill the 70ml inner compartment without spilling into the outer compartment.
