ronttuk Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just bored at home and thought what do people do when they use one of those cookin sauce jars ? do they 1. pour sauce in pan then throw the jar, 2.pour sauce in then rinse the jar to get that little bit of extra sauce but risk watering it down. 3.get a spoon and scrape the last bit out.

Animal Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 4. Save the jar for later, then place 2 warmed livers in it and use it as a sex toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 4. Save the jar for later, then place 2 warmed livers in it and use it as a sex toy. You really are an animal aren't you Animal. I never water it down! NEVER. It comes out of the jar at the thickness it was made to be for your dish. Either 1 or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great question. Option 1 is not particularly environmentally friendly - I actually carry around a fair bit of guilt having a decatted supra so try and recycle when I can. Option 3 involves dirtying a spoon and you never get it all out do you? So it's option 2 for me - you get it all out and it has the added advantage of cleaning the jar so it can go straight into the recycling bin. To avoid the risk of over-watering, try 50ml of water for a 500 ml jar. Although it does depend upon the sauce ( for example, Uncle Bens sauces tend to be thinner and thus need 25% less water) Yes - it is possible to be this bored it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 No 2 for me. Doesn't the water evapourate and the sauce reduce down anyway? Yep. No 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years, I've changed tactics with cook-in-sauce. I used to murmur incantations over the jars and send them to George Peppard. This put him into a trance-like state that - he has said publicly - helped him give such a fine performance in The Blue Max. After George died, I swapped to cutting cardboard beaks out of cereal packets and attaching them to the empty jars. I take these 'ducks' I have made and set them free in the boating pond. It's a beautiful ceremony, and the local fire brigade often show up, alternating between weeping in synchrony and hurling guacamole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 There are some sauces that actually tell you to add water to the jar and pour over. For example Homepride Creamy Pasta Bake sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 oh and i just tap/shake the jar to get the last bits out.. if some of the last gubbins doesn't want to come out then it doesn't deserve to be in my belly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I don't know if you can still get them, but I used to really like the Sizzle and Stir sauces. I didn't really follow the instructions, because the 'spicy' pot stuff used to dry out before the chicken cooked properly, so I popped it in just before the main sauce. I really fancy some of that now! The Thai Green Curry one was superb IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I often buy cook in sauces based on the jars suitability for collecting brake fluid while bleeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I always use all of the source. Until recently I used to just recycle the jars, but recently I've started cleaning them out and keeping them. Something tells me that one day my jars will have an important part to play in some/what, place/thing/event doohickey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
