    I am not sure what the correct term is for this wonderful new tool. I have those little containers that you use to fill your Iron but how many times have I spilled. Then one day I grabbed my unused oil thingy and walla a perfect way to fill your iron and not spill a drop!!! Hope this helps others!!

    It's pretty too! I use a red plastic ketchup container that comes in a set with a yellow one for mustard. It works pretty good but looks ugly.

    Great Idea! I simply use an Arrowhead water bottle.

    I put dish soap in mine... but be sure it is red soap, cuz if someone thinks it's olive oil, you have a problem Houston!
