I’ll provide the fun fact since I’m a wrestling fan: This character’s name is Brother Love. He was the first manager of The Undertaker. He brought him into the WWF. As Brother Love. Naturally the juxtaposition was hilarious. Didn’t seem to hurt Undertaker’s career too much.
Can anyone explain why this happens? Bonus points if you can tell me how to remove it.
Oil/grease + tomato. Dawn.
I would argue it’s also because most plastic isn’t actually very smooth and these oils get caught in the “pores.” It’s much harder to remove spaghetti stains from tupperware than from glass.
Glass containers master race.
It’s an organic compound present in tomatoes called carotine that is liposoluble but hydrophobic so the normal water and dish soap rolls right over it. In order to get rid of it pour a good amount of oil and dish soap into the Tupperware and scrub all over with a paper towel, rinse and behold the magic
This was exactly the answer I was hoping for. Thank you 😊
It’s facepaint, and it comes off with soap and water.
The tomato sauce has lycopene (sp? ) in it, which is a hydrophobic molecule, making it very difficult to just wash off. You can take a stick of butter on rub it all over the inside of the container, then put a paper towel in and fill it about half the way with water. Then put the lid back on and shake the shit out it. You should get it pretty cleaned off that way.
Thanks for the links, looks like it’s time to utilize those last days of sunshine and apply the «hands off» method 😄
I’ve been told to leave them out in direct sunlight, haven’t tried yet tho.
Try turmeric it will look like uranium glass
Keep the jar and put the sauce back in it and put only the noodles into the Tupperware.
How do you separate noodles and sauce without making a nightmarish mess? Do you wring the saucy noodles with your hands?
Normal folks put pasta on their plate and then sauce. They aren’t cooked together, and only combined when plated unless you are wasted and trying to cook it on a George Forman grill or something.
Dude no. Combine asap for best adhesion. This nightmare of naked pasta with sauce plopped on it that you are supposed to mix yourself is a culinary atrocity.
I don’t know what choices lead you down this road in life, but I pray that you will reflect and repent.
My family is Italian. From Italy. I’m pretty sure we know how to make sauce. But hey. You do you.
Sauce is scooped out of the pot while it’s on the stove and mixed with the noodle of choice in my house.
Edit: to add my wife, who isn’t Italian, knows how to make ketchup and noodles with the best of them and even then it’s scooped from the pot onto then noodles while plating. And she puts fuckin ground beef in her spaghetti
I’ve never seen an Italian family do pasta so wrong. I thought y’all liked pasta there?
Eat it every Sunday. Family comes from three counties to join.
The pasta does get a very small amount in it after it’s strained. But pasta is never used for leftovers. More pasta is made if eaten the next day.
Again. Y’all do you.
That’s how I do it too! Always thought I was just lazy.
That’s how my parent served it, and they were wrong.
If you spray then wipe the plastic with a light coat of cooking oil, the tomato doesn’t stain it.
Mayyybe this is a SLPT, maybe it isn’t.
e: dumb typo
Came here to say the same thing, it works great!
Wash the Tupperware in cold water and it shouldn’t stain.
