marbel Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) I need a new bottle/container for storing homemade vinaigrette. I use a mason jar, but no matter how careful we are to pour it and replace the lid (which has dressing on the inside from us shaking it to mix), there is always some dripping down the outside. Years ago I had one of those that comes with Good Season dressing packets, but I could never get it clean on the inside. While perusing the Pampered Chef site, I saw their carafe and remembered that I had one at one time, but it's gone and I don't remember why I got rid of it. Since I don't just get rid of useful kitchen things, there must have been something wrong with it. So, what do you use to store your homemade dressing? ETA: Yes, I did use a bottle brush; still it never seemed really clean inside. :-) Edited October 23, 2016 by marbel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I use the cruets that come with the Good Seasoning packets. They're always on sale after Christmas here. :) But I also use a bottle brush for cleaning them. You might be interested in a different lid for your mason jar. That way you can still get the inside perfectly clean but not have to worry about taking off the lid. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 An old salad dressing jar :) I clean it with a bottle brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 OK so that lid is brilliant and is in my Amazon cart already! Even with a bottle brush I never seemed to be able to reach all the areas, because of the way the bottle curved, I guess. It just never seemed right. Thank you!

FriedClams Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) I bought this one (http://www.williams-sonoma.com/m/products/3973930/?catalogId=13&sku=3973930&cm_ven=Google_PLA&cm_cat=Shopping&cm_pla=default&cm_ite=default&gclid=CMaLsPaS8c8CFQKNaQoddpcGWA&kwid=productads-adid^49385483023-device^m-plaid^83090056183-sku^3973930-adType^PLA) at our Kroger for about $8. They have 2 sizes and I bought the smaller one. I was tired of using a mason jar dribbling dressing down the side.

KrissiK Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I just use a quart jar. Generally I make homemade ranch dressing and I serve it with a spoon, so the mess is minimal. It's not hard to clean, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 You can throw some rice in with your soap and a little water. Shake it like crazy and it should come clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have used old salad dressing bottles, a cruet, a mason jar. No matter what I use I seem to have dressing dripping down the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
