Whether you ’re looking for a teriyaki - ish barbeque sauce , spicy sauce from a Greco-Roman or new blade , olive oil , or even fancy dijon Indian mustard , all of these condiments can be found within the thin wall of a satisfying clinch feeding bottle .
It ’s not like power play feeding bottle are anything particularly new . There are the red and yellow matching set that have been relegated to American dining car and baseball game stadiums for decade . Sriracha , the pop hot sauce brand , has always been known for its compressible mannikin and signature tune dark-green tip . And , before squeeze bottles forayed into the condiment blank , they ’ve always been in restaurant kitchens , an elongation of the body forline cooks .
“ It ’s the wellness code in our area not to have glass on the tune due to safe number , ” explain Ji Hye Kim , the chef and father ofMiss Kimin Ann Arbor , Michigan . “ Besides the health code , extort bottles are easy to handle and you may deploy sauce faster and more accurately . ” Kim see that at her eating house , the hug bottles are n’t deployed for perfectly exact back breaker or artistic , edible painting . “ But we do have our hearts set on having just the veracious amount of hot sauce on our keister and to have it fast .

Although there ’s a longstanding tradition of squeeze bottles in fast - pace kitchen , a lot of legacy condiment brands are ditching their field glass nursing bottle for a compressible reading as well , ensuring that the vas are part of future pantries everywhere . Such was the case forTabasco , the renowned spicy sauce brand that throw over its sweet chili sauce from glass nursing bottle to squeeze nursing bottle .
“ We heard from our fans that they loved the flavor of our scented & spicy sauce but that it did n’t come up out tight enough , given its thickness , from our standard field glass bottle , ” say Lee Susen , the chief sales and merchandising officer at McIlhenny Company , which owns Tabasco .
Additionally , because the sauce is much milder than regular Tabasco , a quick dash is not enough — consumers desire to drizzle , and drizzle munificently . “ It ’s in spades a bit of form meet occasion , ” Susen add together . “ Squeezing the perfect drizzle of hot sauce on a dishful can easily get up an at - dwelling house meal and name for picture - perfect sharing on social , which we know drives so much of the nutrient conversation today . ”

Al Bourbouhakis , co - founder and owner of new live sauce brand , Heartbeat Hot Sauce , took the same approach for his Cartesian product . “ When it comes to condiments , specially blistering sauce , using too much can really ruin your repast , ” he says . “ The squeeze bottle let for the double-dyed clean and master covering — and we all know too well from the old glass ketchup bottles that sometimes it ’s a true conflict to get that sauce moving . ”
But it ’s not just about the neatness or usability of squeeze bottles for Bourbouhakis . “ Another major welfare is the lighter and less breakable nature of pliant credit crunch bottles . Cost saving is a immense priority and transportation big glass that does n’t sell for any more than plastic does , plus the risk of breakage , are major expense that can be reduce , ” he explains . All of the hot sauces of Heartbeat Hot Sauce , including the Scorpion , which appears on come to YouTube showHot Ones , come in slender squeezing bottles .
The sturdiness of shaping squeeze bottles might be one of the major benefits , but it ’s also one of the principal critiques : the influx of credit card use . “ you’re able to possibly make an argument that glass is better for the environment than plastic , but eating house do not grease one’s palms multiples of retailed sized bottles — we buy condiments and sauces in bulk , then assign them into plastic liquidity crisis bottles , ” Kim says .

Andrew Benin , the CEO and founding father of olive oil brandGraza , who modeled his hug bottleful program after cable Cook , acknowledges that the charge plate versus glass debate . “ But single - use packaging in worldwide is make out up , ” he articulate , “ whether it ’s metallic element , tin , credit card , or glass nursing bottle , our recycling streams are not go down up for it . So for us , there are way too many functional benefit to the plastic squeeze nursing bottle because our principal finish in business is to get people to have more delicious , unfermented olive oil for the good terms . ”
Although slim power play bottle are infiltrating the condiment market , the squeeze will for certain be spend a penny its way through unexampled Cartesian product . ( It ’s already transitioned over to breakfast , with squeezable hotcake slugger fromHappy Grub . ) Time will tell what else will undergo a squeeze bottle transformation but , for now , we ’re enjoy stuff our way through summer .
