Use a funnel and strainer to transfer and strain homemade oil into a bottle
Set a funnel on the bottle and add a small strainer to catch remaining solids while pouring the pressed oil in.
After pressing, the creator transfers oil into a bottle using a funnel and an additional strainer. They mention straining again to remove a little remaining pulp (“gut”).
The short version
- Funnel + strainer makes bottling cleaner
- Re-strain if you see solids
