The squeeze bottle trick nobody told me about until my 8th year on the line

I watched a new guy lose it over a clogged squeeze bottle of aioli on Friday night. He kept stabbing the tip with a skewer and wondering why it would clog again 20 minutes later. Turns out the issue was never the tip, it was the little dried plug of sauce inside the cap threads where it sits unrinsed between uses. I grabbed his bottle, unscrewed the cap, ran it under hot water for 10 seconds, and that was that. Now I check every cap on the station before service, it takes 2 minutes and saves a whole plate refire.
