Condiments

Viscous condiments like ketchup, BBQ sauce, or dips tend to cling stubbornly to measuring cups. This leads to waste and messy cleanup. Weighing directly into your dish or pan is the professional, clean, and accurate method.

How do I measure sticky sauces without the mess? Place your bowl on the scale, press 'Tare' (Zero), and squeeze/pour the sauce directly until you hit the target gram weight. No measuring spoons to wash!

Storage & tools

  • Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
  • Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
  • Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
  • Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Keep refrigerated in brine; seal well to control odor.
