You Need to Get Some Wring Bottles in the Kitchen
Ingredient control gives you control over the final dish, and squeeze bottles will help you become a master in your culinary field. With these, you can put the exact amount of liquid ingredient exactly where you want it, and in restaurant stores they cost about a dollar.
They are clearly suitable for favorite picnic dishes like ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce, but almost any kitchen liquid feels a little friendlier when placed in a simple squeeze bottle. Here are just a few of the things that can be improved with a squeeze bottle:
- All Oils and Vinegars: Squeeze bottles not only prevent oil (and vinegar) spills, giving you better flow control, but you don’t have to mess with any screw cap situation.
- Lunchtime salad dressing: Instead of using a closure tub that risks popping out and wreaking havoc out of the lunchbox, pack a 4-ounce squeeze bottle with your favorite homemade vinaigrette to make dressing on the table easier.
- Dish soap: I really like the unusual dish soap, but due to my aggressive grip, I always pour out too much at a time. Squeezing bottles slows me down saving soap (and money).
- Cocktail syrups: Fill various cocktail syrups (as I call them now) with all your favorite cocktail syrups, put blue masking tape on them, and never sweeten the drink again.
- Royal Icing: Decorating cookies is much easier and less tedious if you can make straight, neat lines of the frosting. The squeeze from the bottles will help make this dream a reality.
- Pancake Dough : Why buy a fancy pancake handle when you can make lovely breakfast art with a humble squeeze bottle? (Note, you may need to trim the top to make the hole slightly larger).
- Sauces: In squeeze bottles, you can pour the right amount of sauce in the right place, whether it be basting or covering plates. In fact, you can give your plates a completely restaurant-like look by arranging different colored sauces on the plate and rolling them up.
The wringer bottles are also very easy to clean; just pour them into the dishwasher as needed. To prevent sticky drops from spoiling your grip, simply wrap the bottle with a paper towel, secure with an elastic band, and replace it as soon as it gets damp with syrup, sauce, or vinegar.
