Review on 🍢 Wilton Mini Squeeze Bottles: 2-Piece Set for Precise Decorating & Sauces by Craig Shah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to fill, use and clean. Required element for *filling* cookie decoration.

are GREAT for glazing. Easy to fill, use and clean. An absolute must for making biscuits. Update: A lot of people have problems with leaking and bouncing tops. First, my bottles are from Wilton and have a paper label at the top. I've seen bottles in the store that look almost exactly the same, but they're not Wilton. I'm not suggesting any third party sells counterfeit or unbranded bottles here, but I would check to see if you're getting genuine Wilton bottles. I only use them for pouring frosting and haven't had any failures. I always press from the center though, and since my frosting is pourable it doesn't take much effort to get what I want. The bottles are made of very soft plastic so if you squeeze close to the neck it can pull on the top of the bottle which can easily cause the cap to come off. However, I wouldn't use them for hot food or frosting for hard decorators. I haven't had any leaks from the threads, but during a project I often check the top to make sure it's secure. I've had to tighten them once or twice - maybe I'm unknowingly unscrewing a bit when I wipe the tips? I am not sure. On my kit, the red tips snap securely into place so I haven't had any issues with leaks. I purposely put the bottle on its side for an hour and it didn't leak. While my experience is limited to icing, I know I wouldn't even consider using them with warm/hot items. The plastic is already soft and pliable, so I'm not surprised it melts. If I were to sell them I would sell them for cold/cold use. For coloring I used red/red gel paint for Christmas and Valentine's Day cookies and it didn't stain the bottles. It's possible for different brands of dye to stick to the plastic, but that didn't happen with the gel I used. I use a bottle brush to clean them and I reserved a bottle brush specifically for these bottles so there is nothing oily in them. In the photo - a bottle for bottling a red-red tide. All I did was wash the top with warm water and it was perfectly clean. (Note the Wilton brand on the left/center of the bottle.) So. Wilton, if you're listening, my non-technical mind suggests that if you make the bottle's lid and threads more thoughtful (maybe thicker plastic?) that you review and recommend the maximum temperature for candy use, many of the ones here problems described could be solved.
