Quick Answer
Use the Mike's Hot Honey 12 lb jug by transferring portions into smaller squeeze bottles for easy dispensing, and store the jug in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Why the 12 lb Jug Works for High-Volume Kitchens
The 12 lb (192 oz) jug is designed for commercial use in restaurants, bakeries, and catering operations. Its large size reduces the frequency of reordering and ensures you always have hot honey on hand for signature dishes, sauces, glazes, and marinades. However, the bulk format requires some planning for everyday use.
How to Use the Mike's Hot Honey 12 lb Jug
- Portion into smaller containers: Transfer the hot honey into clean, dry squeeze bottles or portion cups for easy dispensing. A funnel makes this process clean and fast. Common mistake: pouring directly from the jug can lead to spills and waste. Always use a funnel and work over a tray to catch drips.
- Store the jug properly: Keep the jug in a cool, dark pantry away from heat sources and direct sunlight. The honey does not require refrigeration, but a stable temperature helps maintain its consistency and flavor. Common mistake: storing near a stove or oven can cause crystallization or thinning. Avoid temperature fluctuations to keep the honey pourable.
- Use in recipes and applications: Drizzle over pizza, fried chicken, or vegetables, or incorporate into dressings, marinades, and glazes. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Common mistake: adding too much at once can overpower a dish. Begin with a teaspoon per serving and scale up as needed.
