How high do we fill the sauce squeeze bottle?

• A. 1/2 full
• B. 3/4 full
• C. Full
• D. Empty

Answer: (B)

Leave about a quarter of the bottle empty and fill it to three-quarters. That headspace provides a cushion of air, so when you squeeze the bottle you get a smooth, controlled flow rather than a sputter or spill. It also helps with consistent portions and makes the bottle easier to handle and seal. Filling only half full wastes product by leaving too much air, and filling it to the top removes the air cushion entirely, which can make the sauce flow irregularly and increase the chance of leaks. Empty is obviously not workable.
