The Sriracha Spray-Bottle

Thai hot sauce, Sriracha (known in some circles as 'Rooster Sauce' because of its iconic logo), is one of our favorite ways to add heat and spice to anything. Traditionally used in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, we love the complex, garlicky flavor it brings to everything from eggs to collard greens.

Sriracha's only problem is that its bottle delivers only big globs of sauce anywhere you put it. Which means you sometimes get a big, face-melting bite among sadly hot-sauce-less bites. We would like to thank Reddit for solving this dilemma once and for all.

Behold, Sprayracha. By attaching a simple spray-bottle cap to your large bottle of Sriracha, you can now easily and evenly mist your plate. Enjoy, and keep your face out of the way!

I've tried this in the past and the nozzle clogs, obviously. Good idea in theory.

Seems like it would be easier to squirt the Rooster on a little condiment plate, like those cute little 1 inch size ones made of rice-grain ceramics you can find in any Asian grocery, then take a dab here and there as needed.

I just don't see how you can avoid clogging up the sprayer unless the sauce is greatly diluted.

Isn't the 'Face Melting Bite' part of the fun of using Sriracha? Besides, and this may be just me, but who only 'mists' their food with this awesomely tasty food of the *G*o*d*s* anyway?

Question: Wouldn't the spray nozzle clog? I'm thinking a hose with a pressure pump would be better... and a keg sized barrel with wheels. Those bottles are WAY too small.

their claim that any ol spray bottle would work, seems off -- like, i'm sure you're exactly right, it'll clog right up. but the inside bits would need to be bigger i think.....it could work with a bigger pump hose.
