McCormick Culinary Red Food Coloring, 16 fl oz - One 16 Fluid Ounce Bottle of Red Food Coloring Liquid for Adding Rich Color to Cakes, Cookies, Icings, and More

I will never need red food color again. Its great for the price.

HAVING USED THIS ITEM FOR YEARS, I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE SUPER FOR MY PURPOSE AND WILL CONTINUE AS LONG AS AMAZON MAKE IT AVAILABLE. SERVES AS ONE SHOULD EXPECT AND COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE. THE COLOR, TASTE, AMOUNT, AND THE FUNCTIONALITY MAKE THIS ITEM AND THE AMOUNT TO HAVE ON HAND FOR ANY COLORING PRODUCT ONE MY BE A RED COLORING FOR MAKE THIS A HOME RUN IMHO..

First things first, the bottle came with a broken cap. The lid part was broken right off from the rest of it, so it would have started evaporating through the small hole right after I broke the seal, but I fixed that. It just so happened that I had the cap for a bottle of coca-cola lying around, and (after washing it off) it happened to fit perfectly. It did, however, make it more difficult to pour the coloring out more carefully without the tinier hole on the real cap. So, if yours comes with a broken cap, a coca cola cap will mostly fix that. Pepsi probably won't work because Pepsi << Coca-cola (In physics, << means so much less than that the other one isn't worth consideration). Anyways, I used this food coloring for fountain pen ink, so what I will say next probably won't apply for cooks and whatnot. It's a great red, excellent flow, and had no terrible issues with any of my pens. I don't have any REALLY high end pens, but if it works for mine (most expensive ones I have are a Lamy Safari and a Hero 100, the second of which was a gift), it should work for a meisterstuck or something. It typically dries actually a tad faster than the average real ink, but not even comparably as fast as Bernanke blue or other quick dry inks. One thing to be noted is that food coloring is not waterproof at all whatsoever. I put this color with some other real inks I had (mostly noodler's, but only a few deemed "bulletproof") on one sheet of paper, then put it under the tap, and in an instant, the food coloring ink was gone (well, not that fast, but you get the idea). This could be detrimental, or useful in some way, if you're worried about stains. If you want a writing sample with McCormick Red, comment below and I'll upload one. Otherwise, I'm just far too lazy to post a writing sample that people don't want to see anyway.

For charity cake auctions, donate red velvet cakes because they always sell well… usually well over $100 and for our small town, that’s great. They can be costly to make and one of the expenses is two bottles of 1 ounce food coloring which is $3-4 a bottle. When I found this, it was a dream come true to drastically cut the cost of making the cakes. The color is true and adds a beautiful red and we weren’t able to taste any bitter coloring taste. I’d say that I’d buy this again, but it’s such a nice big bottle that it will be a while before I need to do so. Very pleased with the quality and value of this purchase!

It seems like every Christmas when I get ready to make Red Velvet cake, there's an ingredient I forget. Usually it's buttermilk, last year it was the red coloring🤦🏻‍♀️ I used green, not horrible, but not as appealing visually. I made sure that wouldn't happen again by getting a HUGE bottle this year! I wondered about how it would survive the shipping process. It was wrapped in thick bubble wrap in a well-sealed plastic bag inside a box with other items. It was fully intact, no leaking, and ready to use! It's McCormick so I knew the quality would be great & I wasn't disappointed! Sometimes with bold colors there's a bitter taste in what you're making. Not so with the McCormick food coloring! Huge thanks to McCormick for making the larger sizes, it makes life easier for forgetful people like me!
