" Morgan Silva, senior at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and Kitchen Appliances &amp;amp;amp; Technology intern is the guest-author of this week&amp;#039;s post. &amp;quot;From studying in Italy, I found a whole new appreciation for olive oil. In the Italian culture and way of life, olive oil is an essential component, used at every meal and a constant at the table. The only downside to this delicious condiment? The oily traces it can leave behind whether it be a splatter on your shirt or an unflattering bottle ring on the tablecloth. &amp;quot;Well problem solved! Prepara, an innovative kitchen appliances company, has created the Gourmet Cruet ($19.95) that lets you pour any oil or vinegar with ease and absolutely no dripping! I found it incredibly simple to use: All you do is pour your favorite oil, vinegar, or dressing into the bottom and twist the top compartment. Then pour as you would from any other container. The difference here is the soft-lipped pour spout which allows you to control how much you pour, helps you to pour in a steady stream, and stops the flow before it winds up on anything besides your food.  &amp;quot;As a wannabe Italian. I try to incorporate olive oil into all my meals. My favorite and staple dinner is a Caprese salad, which combines fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil all finished with a drizzle of yes you guessed it...olive oil. Check out this recipe from the Good Housekeeping test kitchen, which goes one more step by adding Italy&amp;#039;s favorite food group, pasta. &amp;quot;I find the simplicity of oil infused with herbs so aesthetically pleasing. If you add a sprig of rosemary or basil to oil in the Gourmet Cruet, you create a tasty and beautiful dressing to both decorate your table and add flavor to your meal. &amp;quot;So at the next family lunch or holiday party, set out the oil and vinegar and relax knowing that there won&amp;#039;t be oil stains on your favorite tablecloth. Enjoy! &amp;quot;For great oil-dressed salad recipes check out our test kitchen&amp;#039;s Shortcut Nicoise Salad, Mahi Mahi with Tomatoes &amp;amp;amp; Basil, and White Bean Salad. &amp;quot;And if you do wind up with an oil stain on your blouse, perhaps from a stray noodle, check out Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) cleaning guru, Carolyn Forte&amp;#039;s tips for removing them.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
