Restaurantware 16oz. FIFO Inverted Plastic Squeeze Bottle with Refill and Dispensing Lids - First In First Out - Perfect for Restaurants Catering and Food Trucks - 1ct box

FIFO bottles aren't for everything, but they are good for 1) stuff where you want to use the oldest substance first even when filling a bottle that isn't completely empty and 2) when using thick viscous substances that won't easily run to the top of a bottle and you want to avoid waste. The main problems are that either 1) the liquid might be too thin and tend to leak out the bottom or 2) it might be too thick and be too difficult to squeeze out (since the seal has to be pretty tight to not leak). These bottles seem pretty well constructed. Tried them with both shampoo and conditioner. Dispensing shampoo was OK but the conditioner was too difficult. Also you have to squeeze pretty hard to get the seal to open which makes it easy to squirt too much of the stuff out. This was more of a problem with the conditioner than the shampoo. I haven't put it to the test but I suspect that these issues are probably reduced in smaller bottles where the seals don't need to hold back as much weight. So using smaller fifo bottles when possible is probably a good idea.

Prepping meals for a family of six means constant condiments, sauces, and toppings. These FIFO squeeze bottles transformed my kitchen from condiment chaos into something actually functional. The First In First Out design prevents that gross situation where old sauce sits forgotten in the back while fresh stuff piles up front. You use what you opened first naturally instead of discovering mystery bottles three months later. That rotation system actually works—no more throwing away forgotten containers taking up fridge real estate. The sixteen-ounce size hits the practical sweet spot. Not so massive that you're storing half-empty bottles forever. Not so tiny that you're constantly refilling mid-meal prep. This capacity handles normal family cooking without creating bottle clutter. I can prep sauces, fill these, and know they'll get used before spoiling. The refill and dispensing lids give genuine flexibility. Use one bottle for multiple sauces throughout the week by swapping lids. Or keep dedicated bottles for your go-to condiments. Either approach works seamlessly without requiring separate containers for every single sauce variation. The squeeze mechanism is surprisingly precise. You control flow instead of it glug-glugging everywhere or dribbling inconsistently. Kids can use these without creating messes, which matters when you're managing family meal prep constantly. Adults appreciate the control too—exact portions without waste. The plastic construction is durable enough for actual kitchen use. Constant squeezing, regular washing, temperature changes—these hold up without cracking or warping. Lids stay secure. Bottles don't develop weird cloudy discoloration from repeated use. The commercial-grade quality suggests actual restaurant use informed the design. These aren't flimsy consumer products. They're built for serious food preparation, which means they laugh at typical family kitchen demands. Prepping meals for six people became significantly less chaotic when sauces and condiments actually stayed organized. These bottles made that possible without fussiness or complicated systems. Family cooking just got more manageable.

In general the product works as described. There is a learning curve using them. The bottles are firm and require a firm pressure to dispense. Too much pressure, a stream shoots across your counter. Finding the sweet spot can be challenging since the pressure can vary with thickness of the sauce. Plus I expect the firmness of the product vary with age - yet to be determined. They work well with items comparable to ketchup or mustard. Unfortunately for items like salad or cooking oil a slow leak occurs. In fairness the description was indicate thick sauces.

If you have homemade sauces and condiments, or open cans of condensed milk, this squeeze bottle is handy to keep in the fridge. It opens at the top with a screw cap for easy funneling or pouring in your contents. The bottom has a self-closing valve and a set of nubs to stand the bottle up on a table or in the refrigerator shelf without touching the nozzle. The bottle is translucent, so you can sort of see what's inside and how much, but labeling it is probably the best plan. I was a bit confused at first by this bottle because I'd never used (or THOUGHT I hadn't used) this type of dispenser. You simply squeeze the bottle and the contents drizzle out from the nozzle on the bottom through the silicone valve. If you look at ketchup bottles or mustard, a lot of them have this type of valve in the lid (you can see the silicone membrane valve if you look into the cap's nozzle.) I found it took a bit of effort to squeeze out the contents, especially if the contents are very thick and the bottle is less than half full. But it keeps my condensed milk fresh and avoids having a sticky, drippy open can stored in the fridge. You can find these in sets with multiple bottles, so if you are serving barbecue sauce or condiments dispensed from large bulk containers at your next event, or if you make up specialty sauces, these are very useful.

Another Update: it didn't work long, not worth it and was tossed in the gatbage. Should have just bought the Blackstone bottle. Update: got a replacement bottle and it seems to work much better. The top wasn't sealing and I guess it was just a faulty top. Works well and is what I need for a double batch of ranch. Was excited for this to use with homemade ranch, however it is terrible. The top part will not seal and leaks, and also because it won't seal, it won't squeeze out the ranch. Do not waste your money.

Ótimo Produto.

Muy funcional

Very nice item and good quality. Thank you seller.

This is an absolute fave of mine, I’m soo happy I bought this!! So much better than the mayonnaise squeeze bottles you buy at the store that are top heavy and easily fall out of fridge door. Trick I learned to refill is to use a piping bag or alternatively fill a plastic sandwich bag with the mayonnaise and cut corner off to pipe into bottle.

We use it to dispense cheese sauce. It’s better than the normal bottle dispenser as it doesn’t splash all over. However, it can be quite difficult to control the amount to dispense. Need quite a bit of practise to handle it well.
