Pouring Chocolate Syrup!
All great, nice and sticky, goes great with a glass of milk! and I love it!
You may think I'm crazy, but I'm having trouble with this!
Delemma: Every time I pour it makes a huge mess!
I cant seem to get the syrup bottle to pour into the cup. The whole is a lot smaller, so it should work, but if I dont tip it all the way it makes a mess on the counter because that's where it lands. And syrup is always messy, as most of you may already know! I tend to squeeze the bottle when I am pouring, and I dont know if that has anything to do with it. But I'm afraid if I tip it all the way in, it'll just pour and I cant seem to know how much to pour in there.
Any tips?
what about pouring some in an empty glass until you get the right amount and then filling the glass with milk?
you could also try putting it in to a wide-mouthed jar adn then spooning it out with a small ladle or a spoon that you bent the handle on to make a sort of dipper.
I have the same problem. and it's werse if we get it in a can.
I like the suggestions of post 2. Why don't you try that, it should work pretty well I would think. But, I never done that before, but if you just try to put the mouth of the bottle against the rim of the glass and tip it in a little bit at a time, and just use your fingers to feel if the serup is going in or not. That always works for me
Yeah, I like that last suggestion too. Also, put everything on a tea tray so any spillages just land on the tray as oppose to the counter. We have to be especially careful in our house if we spill anything on the counter as it's wooden and any liquids soak in to the wood. We do have a special varnish mum applies oo, about once a month to preserve it, but I still use a tray if I'm making drinks or any foods which has a lot of transferring of liquids involved in the process, especially if they're really sticky ingredients like syrup, honey, jam/jelly, peanut butter or Nuttella.

Wow, jen, u know of Nuttella? Wow. That's the first person that I know of that actualy know what it is, or has ever heard of it.
Well, mum bought a jar last week on the supermarket run. It's calling me. lmfao.
Jen.
thanks for the help all.
Yeah think I might try that!
I like all the suggestions. My question is, what is Nuttella? lol
I think I'd skip the cup and just squeeze the bottle into my mouth...
The other thing that makes a very sticky mess is honey. I like it, but it's even more sticky than syrup, I think.
I dont like honey all that much.
Nutella is an almond-type ... uh ... wow, I'm bad at explaining this. A friend of mine from school has a two0year-old daughter who's alergic to peanut butter, so she just has nutella as a substitute for peanut butter on sandwiches.
Nutella is a spread made from Hazelnuts. For honey, pour it into a measuring cup which has been run under hot water. It's easier to measure that way. As for the chocolate syrup, it comes out of the bottle really fast. Especially if it's a new bottle. make sure you have the entire top of the cap in the glass before you start pouring. If you're concerned about countertops, use the kitchen sink. Then all you have to do is rinse any spills out with the faucet.
you think the bottles are bad, try using a can of it lol.
it's also easier to handle liquids (or semi-liquids such as syrup) if they are refrigerated. That way, if you depend on your sense of touch to determine how much you have or whatever, it's easier to feel colder liquids than room-temperature things. Great suggestions above. As for nutella, I can just eat that stuff out of the jar! In the beginning, it was made as a slice, so you would just stick a slice between two pieces of bread. However, children would often remove the nutella and throw the bread away. That's why they started manufacturing it as a spread. Just an interesting bit of trivia...
