Consumers buy liquid or wet condiments from commercial sources like restaurants, supermarket, or grocery stores. Many of the commercial wet condiments are packaged in bottled containers in relatively large quantity. Often, these bottled condiments are discarded after a single or light use, which causes a significant waste of food and packaging materials, and generates non-reusable waste. Although methods and recipes for home-made condiments or sauces are available, many of them involve complex formulas or tedious procedures, and do not provide good consistency for the condiments. Therefore, there is a need for efficient, low-cost, and environmental-friendly methods and systems for repeatably and reliably making and customizing wet condiments.

Now referring back to
The device 200 may be in a form of a container having a main body 202, a sealing member 204, optionally a guiding member 206, at least one visible measure or indicia 208, and optionally a handling member 210. The device 200 or a majority thereof may be made of food-safe material such as stainless steel, glass, plastic, or coated paper. In some embodiments, the device 200 or a majority thereof is made of recyclable or reusable materials such as degradable plastic having a light weight.
The main body 202 may be of various shapes such as bottle-like or box-like shape. The main body 202 is configured to receive and contain the dry rehydratable condiment 102 transferred from the packet 100 as well as a liquid from a liquid source. The sealing member 204 may be either permanently or removably attached to a part of the main body 202. The sealing member 204 is configured to seal the device 200 when in use to prevent the content therein from leaking out of the device 200. For example, the sealing member 204 may be a lid or cap that matches an aperture of the device 200 to form a closure. The guiding member 206 may be in a form of a pour spout that allows the flowable content (e.g., the wet condiment) in the device 200 to flow out through it at a consistent and controllable rate. The handling member 210 allows users to hold the device 200 by one hand during operation. Preferably, the device 200 or any component thereof does not have a sharp part of edge where mixing of the dry rehydratable condiment 102 and the liquid could get stuck. In other examples, the guiding member 206 and the handling member are optional, and could be excluded entirely.
The device 200 includes at least one indicia 208 which identifies a liquid level within an interior volume of the device 200 corresponding to a quantity of water needed for rehydrating the dry rehydratable condiment 102 transferred from the packet 100. The indicia 208 is visible to a user (e.g., visible on an interior surface of the device 200, or visible through the device from external to the device, if the device is transparent or translucent) and contains sufficient information to guide the users to add the desired quantity of liquid to the device 200. The indicia may be bonded to, or printed or embossed on an exterior surface of the main body 202. For example, the indicia 208 may include a fill line combined with labels or words indicative of the pre-determined quantity of the liquid (e.g., 4 oz or 30 mL or 1 cup) needed for the rehydrating the corresponding dry rehydratable condiment 102. It is noted that the quantity of the liquid indicated by the indicia 208 is pre-determined based on the quantity of the dry rehydratable condiment 102. For example, the packet 100 may contain about 1.87 oz of the dry rehydratable condiment 102 which will need about ⅓ cup (or about 2.7 oz) of water to form the wet condiment in the device 200, and the indicia 208 may include a water fill line corresponding to about ⅓ cup of water and/or information indicative of the quantity of water for making the intended wet condiment.
In some embodiments, the device 200 has only one indicia 208 corresponding to a uniform quantity of liquid for different types of dry rehydratable condiments 102 from a plurality of different packets 100. In such instances, different types of dry rehydratable condiments 102 may have differing amounts of dry ingredients, and result in different thickness, or viscosity. That is, use of a same quantity of liquid (e.g., water) allows users to make different wet condiments of different type and/or of different viscosity from different dry rehydratable condiments in a very quick and efficient way, since users measure the same amount of liquid for all different condiments, and the different amounts of dry ingredients included in a packet 100 may differ for different dry rehydratable condiments 102.
