YARRAMATE 2-in-1 Review: Why 40,000 People Buy This Hybrid Bottle Every Month

It is rare to see a simple kitchen gadget climb to #6 in the entire Kitchen & Dining category, beating out major appliance brands.

But the YARRAMATE Glass Olive Oil Sprayer is doing just that, moving over 40,000 units a month.

Why the frenzy? Because it solves a specific problem that plagues home cooks: Counter Clutter. Usually, you need two bottles: a “cruet” (pourer) for dumping oil into a pan, and a “sprayer” for air frying or salads. This device claims to do both.

We analyzed if this “transformer” gadget actually works, or if it is just a gimmick that does two things poorly.

The Innovation: The “Switch” Mechanism

Most oil sprayers (like the Misto or Evo) are single-purpose tools. If you need 2 tablespoons of oil for a stir-fry, you have to unscrew the top or pump the trigger 20 times. It’s annoying.

The YARRAMATE features a unique “Slide Switch” on the handle.

• Mode 1 (Pour): Opens the nozzle to let oil flow freely like a standard dispenser.
• Mode 2 (Spray): Engages the pump to mist the oil.

User Jodi Eppler explains why this became a daily essential for her family:

“With the slide of a button, it switches easily between spraying and pouring… whether we’re cooking in a skillet or lightly spritzing vegetables before roasting.”

Analyst Note: This 2-in-1 functionality is the key selling point. It effectively replaces two separate items on your counter with one 16oz glass vessel.

The “Mist” Test: Reality vs. Expectations

Does it spray like a pressurized aerosol can (like PAM)? No. It is important to manage expectations here.

User Mariah, who has used it for over a year without clogging issues, clarifies the output:

“It does so more of a ‘spritz’ versus a ‘mist’ like you would get with an aerosol can, but that isn’t a big deal.”

This is a critical distinction.

• It creates a “Fan” pattern: Excellent for coating chicken, veggies, or bread (as user Tammy Sparks loves for her baking).
• It is NOT a fog: If you need microscopic coverage for a delicate baking mold, an aerosol can is still superior. But for cooking, this “spritz” is perfect.

Capacity & Design

• Size Matters: Standard sprayers hold a tiny 2-3oz of liquid. The YARRAMATE holds 16oz (470ml). You can dump half a bottle of olive oil in there and forget about refilling for weeks.
• The “Drip” Factor: A common failure of pourers is the messy ring of oil they leave on the table. Tammy Sparks noted that “the oil stays out perfectly,” meaning the nozzle design cuts the flow cleanly without dripping.

Verdict: Is It Worth The Hype?

Rating: 4.4/5

Buy It If:

• You value convenience: You want one bottle that does everything sautéing, roasting, and dressing salads.
• You hate refilling: The large 16oz capacity is a huge upgrade over small pump sprayers.
• You want healthy materials: The body is glass, not plastic, ensuring no chemical leaching.

Skip It If:

• You need an ultra-fine mist: It sprays a heavy “spritz,” not a cloud.
• You have small hands: A full 16oz glass bottle can be heavy to lift and spray repeatedly compared to smaller plastic versions.

The Bottom Line The YARRAMATE isn’t just a sprayer; it is a complete oil management system. By combining a pourer and a sprayer, it justifies its place on the counter better than any single-function tool. No wonder 40,000 people buy it every month.
