    4L for $16 and option of s&s for further savings (potentially 14.4) at amazon here

    Still a good price as I can imagine most people don't wanna buy 4L at once!

      This is what I get. Annoying having to keep the big jug in the fridge though. I just fill up a squeeze bottle with it.

      • Do you find the main bottle gets a bit funny? I'm a bit worried about keeping a technically opened bottle in the cupboard…

        • +4

          the 1 litre keeps for a few months once opened in the cupboard….but yeah, 4 litres you would want to make sure your family likes it if keeping in cupboard and not in fridge.

        • +3

          I keep it in the fridge because it says to on the label. I do find I need to shake it before filling the squeeze bottle, and I need to shake the squeeze bottle before squeezing, because otherwise you get watery stuff come out first.

          • -4

            @AustriaBargain: Thats what she said. Some shaking and squeezing, and voila! Watery stuff coming out!

          • @AustriaBargain: always do what you are told ?

            no one likes cold sauce

            still not dead yet

            • @J5: I wouldn't date a guy who uses homebrand sauce and keeps it in the cupboard.

              • @AustriaBargain: Aah yes, the critical quality trait of an ideal partner, Heinz Ketchup.

                • @FlyFire: If he treats his sauce like that then imagine how he would treat you.

                  • @AustriaBargain: The fundamental quality criteria that one should set for in their prospective partner is the ability to differentiate between a sauce and a human being. If that fails, then nothing else matters.

      • You don't need to keep it in the fridge, we keep our in the pantry & top up a squeezy bottle. Although we do chew thru 4l in 6-8wks.

        There's so much sugar & salt, it's preserved.

    I love this sauce. I know it just tastes like sugar and vinegar, but imo heinz ketchup is the best tomato sauce in the world.

    • +2

      tastes like sugar and vinegar

      Yes, it's a ketchup.

    • I find most Heinz products are pretty much the top of their game. If you are ever in Germany or surrounding, try Heinz Pommes Frites on your fries. This stuff is gold. It's a Dutch style mayo. I hope one day it comes to Australia

      • Oh yeah; had this with fries in Germany - want here now!

      • Depending on how much you're jonesing for it:
        https://www.ebay.com/itm/225202594800

        We could do an OzB group buy to bring down the cost per litre.

        • I did an online order in 2019 from eBay and it doesn't travel well. Not sure what went wrong but it arrived separated. It's a lot of cash for a gamble. I'm just going to keep dreaming about it and hopefully a cheap airfare comes up for Germany around next Christmas. I still have a lot to see as I spilt my last history trip over 2 years and well, covid.

    • Except in America, they use high fructose corn syrup and just doesn't taste right, have to buy the organic version which uses sugar.

      Have to agree though, it's the bomb.

  • Amazon ships this for free. Meanwhile computer stores charge an arm and a leg to ship a case fan.

      That's the power of Jeff Bae-sauce

        You win the Internet today. Take my upvote!

    • the difference between the lil guys at the corner pc shop vs the richest man in the world, or 2nd richest whatever.

      • 18$ to ship a fan is ridicuous when you can send 25 kilos using sendle for 30 bux. They should come up with some agreement with couriers. I am not speaking about cheap corner shop. Am speaking about PCCG, scorptec and mwave.

        Mwave charges 23$ to ship a pack of 5 92mm fans costing 49. Ridicuous.

  • Do you keep ketchup in the fridge?

    • +3

      Yes, unless there's no room left and suddenly it turns out it can stay 6+ months opened in a cupboard.

    • +2

      no, i keep in cupboard , use over 3 months ……

    • +1

      Fridge if you use over a long time. Remains fresh. But it will be cold.

      • I like cold sauce on hot food, it means I can eat it as soon as it comes out of the air fryer or oven, just need to put enough sauce on it.

        • I am that one weird guy who likes sauce on pizza. Its exactly as you said with the first slice, but by the time I reach the second or third slice, the pizza is already cold and the cold sauce ruins it.

    • Cupboard as I go through ~1L in 3 months. I would put it in the fridge if you plan to have it for 6+ months or like cold sauce.

  • Picked one up from a local Spud shed. 500ml for $1.49 expiry date May 2023. Made in Netherland.

    • That's a great price and a non-existent realm of origin.

    This stuff is some limp-wristed, watery, fairy liquid compared to the real deal, the Organic Heinz Ketchup, which is a much thicker sauce.

    Compare them the next time you're at the supermarket, the organic version moves around like honey in the bottle.

    • What does the organic one taste like?

      • Can I have a guess? Does it start with K?

      • +1

        Better.

        • Both Ketchups are the same. Are you perhaps confusing this Ketchup with Sauce?

          • +1

            @Skramit:

            Both Ketchups are the same.

            Have you tried them both or are you just making that up?

            Try them both. They're literally two different products with entirely different textures and tastes. The Organic Heinz Ketchup is much richer in flavour and thicker in consistency.

            • @Gnostikos: Yes I have and couldn’t tell the diff for the extra price of the organic. Maybe you’ve just had crappy regular ketchup batches.

    • +3

      Heinz Organic Ketchup uses more tomatoes in its concentrate than the regular; it's something like 200g vs 160g (see label.) It is indeed thicker.

      While I wouldn't say it's a night and day difference, but it is an appreciable one and I'd concur it's the better of the two (and thus, the best.)

      • +2

        Thank you, logical person who explains their opinions with rational argumentation instead of mindless, passive-aggressive negging.

        I mean the price difference between the organic ketchup and the regular ketchup should also be an obvious indication that you're getting what you pay for as well but that would make far too much sense for the smooth brains on OzBargain.

  • Actually how S&S works? Can I do it a single time then cancel it?

    • +1

      Yup. Buy the item via S&S (I normally put it to 6 month intervals), then once the item is dispatched, I go to the subscribe and save page and cancel it.

    • Tomato Sauce and ketchup aren't the same thing.

      "Ketchup is made with tomatoes, sugar, vinegar/acetic acid and spices. Whereas, tomato sauce is made from tomatoes, oil, meat or vegetable stock and spices." Sauce. Ketchup has that acidic taste with sweetness, rather than just sweetness

      • i just took a shot of tomato sauce, and it's still got tartness

      • +1

        technically yes

        but that doesnt mean those that make the stuff call it the name by definition

        always read ingredients

        • Thats by definition (I just know strength / Acidity is a factor). I don't think they have requirements to stick to the definition, but in the case they have done so.

          Something else interesting regarding the 2 examples is the Coles version uses Tomato Puree (79%) and is required to use a thickener to attempt to increase its viscosity where Heinz uses 77% Concentrated Tomatoes and uses the acidic bases to thin-out the solution (in saying this both are non-Newtonian fluids).

          The definition above stands true in this example

      • +2

        The line between the two is blurry, particularly in Australia. You should be weary of international articles; regional variations and classifications are not universal.

        I note that you selectively edited out the end of the sentence from your quoted article which proclaims tomato sauce "never uses vinegar", and proclaimed that ketchup's defining difference is its acidity. Which is emphatically not true when it comes to any Australian tomato sauce at least, which also certainly is not made from meat or vegetable stock, and most definitely contains sugar. That entire article is worthless in this context.

        Here both use tomato, sugar, salt and acid, generally in that order of descending proportions. You're more or less arguing about the recipe than a meaningless classification.

        Coles brand tomato sauce contains both acetic and citric acid. (aka Food Acids or Acidity Regulators 260 & 330 respectively). Masterfoods Tomato sauce uses both acetic and citric as well. So does Woolworths home brand. Fountain, the most disgusting tomato sauce known to man and the furthest from ketchup, uses acetic acid as well.

        That said…Coles home brand sauce sucks.

        • I didn't selectively edit anything out, I copied and pasted the relevant section that was highlighted. I also wasn't aware there were any Australian ketchup brands as we provide the cheaper option (Heinz is American).

          I spoke about acidic as a measure because ketchup uses acidity as a base (White Vinegar = acetic acid). Tomato sauce also used Acidity Regulators (260, 330) or Citric / acetic acid, but more to regulate the high-water content product to reduce the risks of microbes (it's regulating the product as its prone to spoil).

          As the amount of acid in ketchup is much higher (noting the very low quantiles in tomato sauce (to preserve as its primary function)), the acidic taste cuts through the sweetness, hence better will describe the acidic taste in ketchup over tomato sauce (which tastes much sweeter, even though it contains a fraction of the fruit component). Sadly, I studied this crap as part of my Pharmacy degree, due to the products being non-Newtonian fluids and possible cross use in the industry (not for taste but the possible benefit as a future drug delivery mechanism (Oobleck is a more extreme representation)).

          Either way buy what you want, Ketchup has a higher acidity content by volume.

        • I don't think Coles Ketchup is that bad, it's no Heinz, but when Heinz is not on sale, Coles Ketchup does the trick.

    • -3

      Lol. Yeah if you like a whole bottle of ketchup pre-cum.

      You might as well just sprinkle some red food colouring and salt into a 10L container and it'll achieve the same result for far less cost per litre.

      • should discuss with your fellow ketchup-comrade about that pre

  • -5

    Tomato sauce > ketchup

  • +1

    Rosella Tomato Sauce using 100% Australian grown tomatoes has the freshest taste compared to this stuff.

    • People checking this is the minority.

      • unfortunately for the future of Australia's farming and sovereignty
