Trying to decant sauce from plastic bottles

[Snooks1971]

Drives me insane. Please see my Leaning Tower of SaucySauce. These belong to DS who is 18 and loves it but hasn’t grasped that a quarter of it gets discarded because the fucker defies gravity and won’t come out!

I was taught that if you puncture an air hole in the top bottle then it would work. All good but I need a scalpel or machete to pierce the bastard.

I’ve created a vacuum haven’t I?

But why?

Because I don’t like waste of food

Use the bottle till it’s finished?

Use a strong pair of scissors to cut the bottle on the neck below the label then you can scrape the contents out with a spoon. Slide the top bit back on the bottom bit if you dont use all the sauce.

it won’t come out! Have you literally read my OP 😃

I phoned Heinz when they first brought this packaging out, complaining that I was paying full price for a product I couldn't completely use.
They just said it was to aid recycling.

I balance mine at an angle, propped against the wall. Depends which sauce it is whether it works or not.

@Soontobe60 thank you. I have done similar in the past but I imagine most people just chuck the bottles away

Take the lid off use a butter knife or CD a teaspoon?

Ketchup works doesn’t it?

@Snooks1971 yes, ketchup works. Mayonnaise is a struggle.

@NiceTwin yes I think it’s because I grew up with Heinz ketchup watered down at the end of the bottle with a splash of vinegar to get the dregs out.

what happens if you add some liquid (eg water, or sunflower oil) and shake it up, and make the contents more runny?
