I’m with you on this. The plastic covers not strong enough to stay shut. Always ends up permanently open like in the pic.
Italian herbs? Hopefully not chili… Yeah, you can either have none through the holes or half the jar through the flap.
You should see the Tesco pots… they are the absolute worst.
They don’t close properly, not the lid, and where the cap screws to the bottle. Every time I use the paprika, I somehow end up with paprika everywhere. It somehow gets through where the cap screws onto the bottle!
Theres a brand of black toasted sesame seeds with the most unintuitive opening mechanism I’ve ever encountered. Even if I pause, breathe & collect my thoughts before attempting to open it I end up throwing black seeds EVERYWHERE.
I can’t recall the brand, but the struggle is so real for me.
The Lidl salt is even worse. A spinning lid that has no way of actually staying on, so just falls off and loads of salt comes out.
Tip for those of u who pour these directly over the pan (spices not herbs)
They stick together because of the moisture from the pan going into the thing. Avoid this by decanting the spices elsewhere
I don’t follow this advice myself and instead I call the jar a dickhead every day but it is what you should do
Worse than Howdens pricing transparency
Maybe it’s the brand you’re getting. I’ve never had this happen
I just take the whole top off regardless these days
The flappy lids are indeed rubbish. I usually decant spices/herbs into jars with a metal clip lock and rubber seal, it keeps everything nice and dry.
To paraphrase the great Charles Boyle, you never go can to pan. The hand is the middle man.
Great for bay leaves 🤦♂️
Every fucking time I need paprika. Last time I buy it from Lidl with that stupid lid.
Nah, that’s milk bottles (the plastic kind).
Especially when what you use doesn’t fit out of the other side.
Worst design is this bottle – Kikkoman Soy Sauce. When it tips over pours all over the place
The larger hole is so you can stick a knife in and have a rummage to make the lumps small enough to come out.
i’ve genuinely broken a few out of pure frustration after having exhausted all possible avenues, even resorting to cleaning out the nooks and crannies with a toothpick in case the residue was blocking the thing from closing. ***SMACK SMACK SMACK***
I have no basil flavour / my whole dinner tastes like a forest floor.
