Recently I have been making sauces rather than buying them. Most of the time i use mason/canning jars to store the sauce, but I would love to find some decent condiment squeeze bottles that could be cleaned well (dishwasher safe would be a plus), make dispensing easier, but also provide a decent seal for storage.
Most of the bottles on amazon look like cheap plastic or have narrow squeeze tips that i doubt would work with thicker KC style sauces.
Curious if anyone has a condiment bottle that they use regularly?
They're made by OXO and are up to the quality, which is very good, of their usual stuff. You get a larger bottle and a smaller one in the set, but what is not obvious is that the diameters of the holes in the necks are different sizes, which is actually kinda useful. The lids can be interchanged between the two bottles.
(I did not realize the difference in opening sizes, and was a little miffed at first, but I fixed this by simply buying a second set! Now I have two of each.)
The Tablecraft 11663CF 16 ounce Dual-Way Wide Mouth Squeeze Bottle features leak proof soft polyethylene, 63mm opening and cone tip top. Great for fast prep environments.
Very sturdy and easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher. Depending on the dispensing valve you get, you can dispense very thin liquids to chunky and/or thick sauces. I use them for honey, dishwashing liquid, my homemade mustard, Huskee's Shawsh, etc.
The valve is made of silicone and seals tight when not in use, so you don't need a separate cap to seal the bottle.

They're nice because the spout can be tossed into the dishwasher...and with the cap on, they play nice in the fridge. Colour coding sauces isn’t a bad idea either. I also have some with speed pour spouts for drinks...great for parties.

Reason: Clarity
How do y0u all go about getting things like sour cream, etc into the bottles. I have only snipped a quart zip lock and squeezed, but, what a pain in the ass that is. I think I my have to order better bottles as well, my bottles suck in most uses. But,I do love the control of a squeeze bottle.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

After reviewing all the posts in this here dealin with a most accute of problems, there are some tips to assure oneself with: 1. Make sure they are squeezy. 2. Watch fer the gloppiness of said device. 3. It’s ok if it is ergonomic to handle, yessir. 4. Don’t lick the tip after you have squirted it, especially if someone is watching. If yer alone, you be the judge. 5. Hum a tune whilst yer squirtin, you’ll enjoy it more. 🕶
