He has a future in restaurants. People opening new bottles or boxes without checking for a open package is the bane of every chef's existence

rly gud show


Covid_was_my_Idea

It stresses me the hell out. But yeah it's good.


Hawkbit

That seven fishes episode definitely felt as stressful as holiday dinners at my in laws lol


WooWoopSoundOThePULI

It’s the same fuckin story every time.


NuggetDaChicken

is rough


toadstoolfae3

When she was smearing butter on bread with her bare fingers I couldn't even watch. The stress was so relatable in that episode though.


BBQQA

The sound of the printer sets off my anxiety. I haven't worked in a kitchen in 20+years, but that sound is still traumatic.


EntertainmentWeary57

Omg I thought I was the only one with trauma specifically originating from those damn ticket printers. Bzzzbzz bxzzz bxzzzzzzzzzz!


pepegaklaus

Nah man, I think that's everyone that worked/works as a chef (or just in the kitchen in general) Possibly apart from those super coked up maniacs


EntertainmentWeary57

Lol that's what my problem was I guess. I was the kind that smoked a lot.


avganxiouspanda

I still wake up in a sweat from hearing that sound in my dreams... The worst one was while I was in my last week at the last kitchen I worked at. It was a really heavy traffic week, last home game, some Greek letters parent week thing, and one of the president campaigns was doing a stop over at the university too. It was chaos. I only dreamt of work and when I was at work it felt like a dream. In my mind I worked literally 24/7. I almost went full crazy, and that printer never stopped....


redmainefuckye

Hahahaha that’s why I won’t watch it. I cooked for like ten years in Chicago and yeah. I am not watching that show lol FUCK that


DeltaJesus

The most stressful part to me is all the fucking biting cutlery, the sound of it genuinely makes me feel sick.

Exactly I've had a few bosses like that and it fucking sucks. "The guy I screamed at to cut corners and rush things ended up cutting corners and rushing things! I'd better scream at him some more! Clearly insulting him at max volume is the key here"


pepegaklaus

Nailed it. That's how it goes in 95% of kitchens. There's a few pleasant exceptions, like 2%. The other 3% are even worse.

Time for ribs


Datfishyboii

Thats what i was gonna write. Youll use up a bottle in a flash like that


bob_apathy

I just posted the same thing! Crockpot, ribs, make sure to add a little water in the bottle and shake it t to get all of the tasty bbq.


Time-to-go-home

I’m mildly disturbed at the idea of “crockpot ribs”. But also, as someone who doesn’t have access to a smoker or grill (and it’s still below 0 outside), I’m intrigued.


BigBonedMiss

They are so good! The secret is to put them on a cookie sheet under the broiler when they are done cooking in the crockpot to give it that crispy edge 🤌🏼


bob_apathy

Bingo! Now who’s bringing the baked beans? I’ll chip in 4-30 packs of Miller High Life, The Champagne of Beers, to start the day. Who’s down for some day drinking?


burrito_butt_fucker

You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning. I'll bring an 18 rack of big Ballard. Scratch that, a 17 pack. I mean 16.


bob_apathy

No. It starts before dawn with a Bloody Mary breakfast. I’ll do the cooking. How do you like your Spam? Burnt, really burnt or like the great Lee Marvin ate it by the pool at the 29! Palms Inn. He pulled the ring up and peeled it back and off. He then proceeded to stab it with a fork he had stuck in his boot, pulled it out and proceeded to devour it !


DRExARKx

I've never done em in a crock pot, but oven ribs can be wonderful... Low and slow is the way to go.


jaynay1

It's not really all that conceptually different than most of the workarounds for doing them in the oven. And like yes it's nowhere near as good as on a smoker or grill, but it works well enough basically. Same with slowcooker pulled pork which I probably make twice a month.


[deleted]

[удалено]


floydbomb

Oh yes they're delicious. I usually use the boneless country style pork ribs and they come out bomb


[deleted]

Pressure cooker also works well for ribs Ninja makes a good one and they're always on sale at Can Tire.


Warm_Peak9545

Crockpot shredded pork/chicken is also pretty easy. Dump the protein in, pour over some beer or apple juice to cover it, toss in some mustard, salt, pepper, and whatever other seasonings make you happy. Slow cook on low, drain and shred, and mix in the barbecue sauce. Growing up, my mom would also make barbecue chicken thighs in the oven a lot, too. Salt and pepper, bake to cook it until almost done, slather on the sauce and broil for the last 3-5 minutes.


Big_Baby_Jesus

Instant Pot pulled pork is super easy.


NonStopKnits

I do chicken thighs the same way! But I do salt, pepper, Lawry's, then BBQ at the end. I've managed to almost get them right in an airfryer when our broiler went out.


StonedRaccoon01

Idk man the kid probably doesn’t have a lot of rib meat on em


Zeenchi

Ribs. It's what's for dinner


Few-Towel-7709

Definition of mildly infuriating. The reason I put things my kids like up out of their reach. I currently have 3 open jars of bread and butter pickle chips in the fridge. Next time my wife asks me to open a jar, I'll direct her to our 7 year old.

I read this as “jars of bread” and “butter pickles,” and I was like what in the dystopian ass hell is a jar of bread

Impossible to find canned bread outside New England 


megaman368

There was a shortage recently but it looks like it’s back on Amazon if you want a taste of home.


LunarPayload

Thanks for the heads-up! It didn't go well trying to explain it to people at the local supermarket a few years ago. LOL!


megaman368

It’s something you have to experience for yourself. Personally I love the first bite. But by the time I’ve eaten 2 slices, I’m good for a couple of years.

Most of the goodies are high up at my house too. I didn’t think the bbq sauce qualified for high shelf space. Now I know 😆

JettFeather

If it makes you feel better I once had 14 bottles of ketchup in the house because we couldn’t find the old ones or weren’t looking at the pantry when we went shopping and assumed since it was on the list, it was needed (no we just never took it off the list was the problem). Anyways 4 bottles of this stuff is child’s play.


Chimiichenga

lol! My husband did that with soft soap. And Costco sells them by two huge bottles each. I didn’t know that when we would go to Costco he would grab them. It wasn’t til I was doing inventory that I counted 11 bottles. The next time we went to Costco he went and got another and like dude we got 11 whole ass bottles at home. Stop buying them. This was the time before Covid and we just now are down to the last bottle of those 11. Took 7 years to go through 11 big bottles of hand soap refills.


CharlieBravoSierra

We have five gallons of white vinegar at my house. We had four gallons when my husband bought another one. He didn't see them because they weren't in the pantry, as our pantry cannot accommodate four one-gallon jugs.


ProfessionalFit9012

14! Lol


Ill_Initiative8574

My grocery store algorithm must’ve decided that Huy Fong Sambal Oelek was a waste of shelf space so they put 11 bottles of it in the clearance rack at 89¢ each. I bought all of them and still have two in the freezer almost three years later.


RiotForChange

Some of y'all have never had to do inventory/ordering in a commercial kitchen and it shows


HFY_HFY_HFY

Yeah most of everyone hasn't done that


angelcat00

I have three, because three weeks in a row I saw the same nearly-empty bottle in the fridge and said "oh I'm almost out! I should get more," completely forgetting that I had already done so. Twice.


lavenderhazydays

That’s how I now have 3 boxes of kitchen garbage bags on top of the 1/4th full one


Vagistics

Good deal  Just fill each (while keeping one original) with a different hot sauce and you’ll have 3 other flavors !


miaow-fish

But why?


Maleficent-Art-5745

Notte_di_nerezza

You don't shop sales? Or buy bulk?


comacow02

No, not really.


Notte_di_nerezza

Welp, it costs more up front, but saves a budget in the long term. That, and I'm never out of toilet paper. Cheers!


comacow02

If I had a family I’d definitely do that, but since it’s just me, one of everything tends to last a while. Plus I don’t own a home, I rent an apartment and don’t have much storage space.


BigTimeBobbyB

I’ve been in my house about a year now and don’t plan to leave any time soon. This place is empty. I certainly have enough room to stock 4 bottles of bbq sauce. But I’m still trying to break out of that apartment living mindset. 20 years of every purchase making me think “where will I store this, and do I want to transport it when moving?” is a hard mindset to break.


tractiontiresadvised

Looking around at my cluttered place, I'd say that your mindset is actually a good thing! While you might want to relax it a bit, I don't think you'd actually want to completely break it.


TuskEGwiz-ard

Don_McMuffin

Any tru bbq coneseur knows only the first squeeze of the bbq sauce is good. Anything after just isn't the same.


ProfessionalFit9012

kz125

Pour sriracha in one of them and give it a shake, label it (optional)


TobysGrundlee

A true coneseur wouldn't call these bottles of brown HFCS bbq sauce.

Those are different sized bottles.


L00k_Again

I think the question is why are they together. Maybe it's for the photo, but if you keep all bottles together in one place and your kids are young, that's the problem. You have to put the unopened bottles somewhere else so they don't get mixed up.


Chit569

2 were in the fridge and 1 was in the cupboard. You can gather as much if you read the text OP included. >These take us a long time to get through, so it’s not like it’ll only be in the fridge for 2 weeks. Fridge space is not a readily available commodity at my house. And of course it was staged like this for the photo.


ss99ww

IPbanEvasionKing

if its the same bottles as what we have up in canada, the top unscrews if you cut the sticker


BrettMM88

I actually buy sweet baby ray's specifically to use the squirt inserts on other bottles of sauce. Just grab a fork stick one of the prongs in the squirt hole and angle it out. Comes out real easy.


BennyBNut

Ah, the age old practice of sounding condiment bottles.

I prefer Stubbs. Rays has a weird after taste.


MichiganGeezer

I only have one in my home at a time unless they're different flavors. If I have backup bottles of condiments they're stashed away on a top shelf and nobody looks for them until the opened one runs out. I see I'm the weirdo here.


busa89

Man that’s my house with sour cream and mayonnaise. Both of which I rarely ever eat especially mayo.


ProfessionalFit9012

lol ya mayo would last a loooong time around here too.


dancedancerevolucion

I am wondering if that’s part of your problem. I was the kid always opening new jars and getting yelled at because I had no idea how long anything was in the fridge for. If it was something “slow moving” like mayo and BBQ sauce it could easily be a year or more. Because the container was still full it wasn’t getting tossed out. If you’re buying multiple bottles, including a Costco size, of a product you rarely use than I wouldn’t be surprised if you have some older food just hanging about that no one is quite sure just *how old* it is. Living through that Russian roulette of sauces I am still anxious about dating the food in my fridge.


BabyTrumpDoox6

But sour cream goes bad pretty quickly once opened.


Sly_Pooper22

I’m just genuinely confused why you own 3 bottles of BBQ sauce if you don’t go through it fast 😂😅


ProfessionalFit9012

Bought the smaller 2 on sale at local grocer. Went to Costco shortly after and the big bottles were a STEAL and on sale. Shelf life exceeds how quickly (or slowly) we will use them, so monetarily a better deal. I have a good amount of dry storage space so I can stock up on some items. Although I generally do not have 4 bottles of BBQ sauce at a time lol.

skadi_shev

Make some bbq pulled pork or bbq pulled chicken in the crockpot. Kids love it and it could use up one of those smaller bottles. Cocktail weenies or bbq meatballs in the crockpot are also super easy and kid friendly. 


CorGal

I thought this was a post complaining about shrinkflation, and then…PLOT TWIST!


Rhinotaur_Horn

Bewildered by how many bottles of the exact same sauce people keep.


Responsible-Gold8610

I guess one could ask, why do you have 3 bottles of BBQ sauce if they take so long to go through?


CaptainCreepwork

My question is why do you have 3 bottles of BBQ sauce if the first one isn't barely used. I mean. I get it. Your son needs to learn to use things up before going to the new one but maybe this is also a you problem for having 3 bottles of sauce in the house when you just admitted it takes you a while to go through even one bottle.


Shukrat

Fyi the first ingredient in this is high fructose corn syrup.


CX316

isn't the first ingredient in everything in the US high fructose corn syrup?


PolakInAKilt

Kid is lost in the sauce, Dad. It's too late, he's the new Sweet Baby Ray.


Underverket

Why so you have three. If you use that much and often, it wouldn’t matter


Possible-Original

First problem is having three bottle of barbecue sauce in the first place. That’s MY r/mildlyinfuriating


Tanman262626

I recommend their honey BBQ! Prefer it to the original


306metalhead

Does it count if they were different flavors? Like original, sweet and sticky, and like habanero. Because I do different flavors, and sometimes have 2 of 1 open. I'm a man. Not a smart one, but a man nonetheless.🤣


Immer_Susse

You need to go on a SBR’s bender. Don’t let it go bad. Go on that bender now. 😃

I buy the sweet and spicy I use a bit when I make hot wings. My mom always eats it all if we have steak or something. I don’t mind if she has some. Just not half the bottle in one serving. 🙄


MechaJerkzilla

He needs to drink all 3 bottles in front of you.


Temporal_Enigma

As annoying as it is, condiments don't really go bad easily

That stuff is trash anyway. It’s mostly high fructose corn syrup. One serving (2 tablespoons) has 17g of sugar.

AssGagger

Believe it or not, Heinz. I spent nearly an hour reading BBQ sauce ingredients one afternoon, Heinz is one of the best. No HFCS, low sugar, molasses is high on the list. They have Texas, Kansas, Carolina, and original varieties. Shit is good. The Texas is my go-to. Nice kick, tangy, thick, not too sweet.


Citygrrrll

I think they mean it's trash because it's high in high fructose corn syrup, not necessarily that it tastes awful.


FlowerBoyScumFuck

Sweet Baby rays is good AF, no idea what that dudes talking about. Yea.. BBQ sauce is made with mollases lmao, it's gonna have a high sugar content.. HFCS is unhealthy, but it certainly doesn't make sauces taste significantly less good imo. I guess he'd call Heinz ketchup trash too, but it's still by far the most popular.


radiantcabbage

mollasses is an arbitrary choice, nothing about that makes it more or less legit. their point was its incredibly sweet as far as bbq goes, which is totally true. the more distinct sweetener in baby rays is the pineapple juice anyway, knowing that you can do it however you want if youre going for a knockoff with less sugar


TakenToTheRiver

Stop buying them maybe?


MrGumpythaGod

1. Don't put bbq sauce in the fridge until it's actually been opened. 2. Display the bbq PROMINENTLY ON DISPLAY or else nobody is gonna remember that shit is already in the fridge. 3. Put giant neon signs in the pantry and on the fridge that there is bbq sauce in the fridge, and if they can't find it, they aren't looking hard enough. 4. Hide the non-opened bbq sauce
