A friend of mine used to be the Heinz ketchup product manager.

He said there aren't really that many real tomatoes left in the product. An engineer once came to him with a formulary recommendation that provided some benefits (I forget what they were) but would also eliminate the need for any tomatoes. My buddy declined, because he didn't want to go down in history as the product manager responsible for removing the last bit of tomatoes from Heinz ketchup.

Fair question. If not mistaken, it’s a labeling slight of hand

I always assumed it was made from cats

I don't, but know people who do. I'll use some hot sauce every so often.**

If I get a really over cooked omelet, its sriracha for me
Hokebury • 06/25/25 03:33 PM ET
More air created in the omelette so it fluffs up more?
HwoodHokie • 06/25/25 01:24 PM ET
No on straining, though I do use a shaker bottle.**

I only do omelets these days.

air fryer + cake dish + paper liner for no clean up = my omelets**

I use a pan with a titanium cooking surface, so minimal clean up. **
EDGEMAN • 06/25/25 12:21 PM ET
Ceramic surface here, and ditto. And I really loved the stone surface one

I love induction heating surfaces, but it does cut down a bit of cookware.

I use a Blackstone. 10 minutes of cleanup of griddle and tools but ...
