Which size sauce pot do I need?
60ml (2oz) is the usual size for dips, ketchup, mayonnaise and soy sauce. 120ml (4oz) suits dressings, coleslaw and small sides. Many takeaways order both: 60ml for sauces sent with a main, and 120ml for sides sold on their own.
Sauce pots, dip pots, portion pots and souffle pots
These names all describe the same small lidded pot, whatever your menu calls it. Cornstarch pots take a separate lid, so you can order pots and lids in the numbers you use. Their lids measure 65mm across for the 60ml pot and 80mm for the 120ml pot. Clear PET hinged pots keep the lid attached and show the contents, which suits delivery and grab-and-go, as there is no loose lid to fall off in the bag.

Element were amazing to work with. We had a very tight turnaround and deadline and from the first email, Adam was on it! He was very quick to respond and was great to liaise with.

Good quality containers
Our food looks good in these and the lid fits snugly. Only downside is the outside can stain if you accidentally get some sauce on it.
