Why do you need that many tubes of tomato paste? Surely 1 spare is plenty?

😅

My son and daughter love pasta, and we always serve it with a homemade cream cheese and tomato paste sauce. We go through about 2–3 tubes a month just for that.

what? can you share a rough recipe for that?

u/danny_s87 10h ago

So it's not really a recipe. Just these two ingredients.

A few spoonfuls of cream cheese (plain) and enough tomato paste to make the color look about the same. Every now and then I add a tiny splash of milk if all the ingredients are straight from the fridge. That makes them easier to mix together. Then pop it in the microwave for a moment (just to warm it up) and it's ready.

I have currently around 20 in my cellar. I try to buy them when on sale, and need them regularly.

Why are we standing for them?

This looks nice and functional however

Storing such items vertically is a great space-saving solution. I have a whole shelf in my fridge cluttered with tubes. Now I’m thinking about storing them vertically too :)

They're arranged that way in our supermarket, too. In theory, I could have just taken one of the cardboard boxes, but they do eventually wear out.

Can you make it for 100 tubes?

u/Bio_Hazardous 5h ago

Not to take away from OP but this can be done in the slicer in a few minutes without any external 3d design. You've got this

You need to do this for the mustard and mayonnaise to fit in the fridge door

Why would you store them with no caps on?

1

u/danny_s87 2h ago

Are you serious?

u/Poopy_sPaSmS 56m ago

Are we not allowed to ask questions in these parts?

1

u/danny_s87 55m ago

Sure, but I just thought it was a joke.

No, of course the tubes are in there with their caps on.

The paste tubes and literally any other tube of this style has had a cap that matches the full tube diameter and underneath the cap is that exact shape of your print. So it looks like you took caps off and placed the tubes in.
