Honey Dispenser (made of glass) has a plastic handle and metal trigger release for the plunger which dispenses accurately then closes to prevent drips. Glass base holds glass dispenser. Fill base with 1/3 cup (3 oz) of hot water to prevent honey from crystallizing around spout. This also keeps your honey dispenser drip free. For best results, hand wash 8 oz/240 ml capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does honey sometimes crystallize in a dispenser?
Crystallization happens naturally as honey sits over time. However, the rate can vary based on the type of honey and storage conditions. Even when crystals begin to form, it does not necessarily mean the honey has gone bad.
Should I refrigerate honey in the dispenser?
Honey generally does not need refrigeration. Cooler temperatures may cause it to crystallize faster and become more difficult to dispense.
Can I use a honey dispenser for different varieties of honey?
Yes. You can use the dispenser for different honey varieties, but clean it between varieties if you want to keep their flavors separate. This can help you enjoy the distinct taste of each variety without leftover honey mixing with the next one.
Can I switch to another type of honey when I refill the dispenser?
Yes, but leftover honey may mix with the new variety and affect its flavor or appearance if you want to keep each variety distinct, empty and clean the dispenser before switching.
How can I avoid introducing crumbs or food into the honey?
Keep the dispenser opening away from food while serving and avoid touching it directly to anything on your plate. Keeping food particles and moisture out of the honey helps maintain the contents of the dispenser between uses.
