Could this dispenser be used for homemade ketchup? I am looking for something BPA free. This one would seem to fill the bill, as the ketchup is thick.

It's large and will hold a lot of ketchup. I think it would work for many food items.

I think it work for ketchup. The only thing is the opening is much wider than a traditional, store bought ketchup bottle so you might end up with more than expected.

I have put mine in the top rack of the dishwasher with the "heated dry" option turned off, so it just dried naturally. As far as BPA, I am not sure, I didn't see anything saying it contained it or not. I really love my onion keeper because for some reason the onions I have been buying lately are really strong. So strong everyone that walks into the kitchen 20 minutes after I have cut it, they still tear up. However, I put the left over onion in the keeper and there is no smell in my fridge.

I always wash mine by hand just in case. With my luck a bottle might fall on to the heating element and get melted out of shape. I'm not sure about BPA free.

I would imagine that this dispenser would be perfect for that, I'm just not sure if I would recommend boiling hot filling as it is plastic.

Nothing on the label says anything about BPA, but you don't put food in it. Otherwise, I've really liked this brush. It is more effective than the ergonomic stiff bristled one I bought prior to this. This one cleans so well that I've thought I needed to go give it a rave rating.

Although I have not made ketchup, you can make tomato sauce. So I would think you could make ketchup. The main thing you have to watch is NOT to overload the machine. Good luck.

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it would work better, disposables get clogged this one doesn't. If you do please let us know the results.

I just did a live chat with Kitchenaid, and they stated (I printed the chat for my records) that all of their kettles have BPA free plastic on the wall of the kettles to protect them from mineral damage. I have read from many reviews that BPA free plastics are just as bad if not worse than BPA plastic when exposed to heat. Finding a safe/healthy option for an electric kettle is proving to be quite frustrating.

I've used them to boil a few items, for convenience. They worked fine, although I'm not sure whether or not they're BPA free, it that's your concern.

please refine your question as it is very confusing. The jugs pictured on the label fit the pump. There are two caps in the package which both fit the pump, those caps are different sizes allowing use with different sized openings. Both caps are made for pretty large containers. Costco or sams club are a good bet for ketchup/mustard.

Yes. This product is shipped sealed. It is the type of seal you would find on a ketchup or mustard botttle. I hope this helps answer your question.

I don't think it would be worth minimal savings in time to put it through the dishwasher. With even BPA-Free plastics leaching chemicals into the food / water that they come in contact it, it'd be better to just do a minimal scrub with a sponge, fill with water and shake w/ a dab of dish soap. I usually leave mine in this state until after my workout where I will thoroughly rinse it before adding water and protein powder. Has worked fine so far and have not had any smelly protein bottle issues ever with this approach.

I am searching for a tea kettle and will bypass this since it appears that the water comes in contact with the plastic surface; after doing some research I've learned that BPA Free products have been tested and are not BPA Free in many of the tests. Glass all the way for me.

I returned this and got the innobaby stack & seal and i love it. It's a little pricey but the design is much better! They also sell the exact same dispenser las the piyo piyo at Walmart for a few bucks and its bpa free.

Did you check the company's website? In the FAQ's section it clearly states: "Our pour caps are made of FDA-approved BPA-free number "5" Polypropylene plastic. While it is not the organically-derived (i.e. plant/bio-based) plastic typically used in disposable products, it is recommended as the safest choice for food and beverages." If this is not sufficient details for you, then contact the company directly. Because the food is in contact with the lid only briefly and we do not heat the lid, I am not particularly worried about possible leaching. I'm so happy to have a lid that works!

No. This is a centrifugal pump and must be primed with the liquid. Thicker liquids would only swirl around in the pump, if you could even get them to flow into it. Sauce and ketchup need something self priming and positive displacement.

Hi Linda!! I purchased the dispenser as a Christmas gift 2012 for my boss. When the dispenser arrived at my door it was in the original box that was damaged beyond repair. Looking through the box you could see the dispenser was covered with cob webs and rust particles as if the item was stored in a garage for quite some time. No way will it accomodate the peanut M n M's. I also purchased another M n M dispenser that has the green and red M n M character dancing..that one was in perfect condition. It arrived directly from a store.
