A ketchup dispenser is a device used to serve ketchup, a popular condiment made from tomatoes, vinegar, and spices. These dispensers can be found in various settings, including restaurants, fast-food chains, and homes. They come in different forms, such as squeeze bottles, pump dispensers, or even automatic machines, allowing users to easily control the amount of ketchup they want. Ketchup dispensers are designed for convenience and hygiene, minimizing direct contact with the condiment. Many are made from plastic or stainless steel, ensuring durability and easy cleaning. Some dispensers also feature a lid or cover to keep the ketchup fresh and prevent contamination.
