Let me start by saying this bottle of Happy Belly vinegar has earned a permanent spot under my sink. At 16oz, it's the Goldilocks size – not too big to go stale, not too small to require constant repurchasing. The plastic bottle is lightweight (crucial for my arthritis) and arrived leak-proof with a reassuring paper seal.
Where this vinegar shines? EVERYWHERE. I use it diluted in a spray bottle to:
- Descale my Keurig (bye bye $10 cleaning solutions!)
- Wipe down appliances without chemical fumes
- Soak veggies as a natural disinfectant
The 5% acidity hits that sweet spot – potent enough for tough jobs but won't damage surfaces. Yes, there's that initial pickle-y smell, but it dissipates faster than conventional cleaners' perfumes. Pro tip: Add lemon peels to your cleaning solution for freshness.
What surprised me was discovering its culinary uses! Several reviewers swear by it for cheese-making, though I've only used it in pickling so far with excellent results.
At this price point, you're essentially getting: a cleaner, disinfectant, deodorizer, and cooking ingredient rolled into one economical bottle. The kosher certification is a nice bonus for those who need it. My only wish? Maybe a squeezable bottle design for easier pouring.
