Question 1

What is Diptrough™?

Accepted Answer

Diptrough™ is a plate-edge dip cup designed to keep sauces contained right on your plate—so ketchup, ranch, BBQ, and more stay where they belong instead of smearing across the plate.

Question 2

How do you use Diptrough™?

Accepted Answer

Set Diptrough™ near the outer edge of your plate, press it into position, then add your dip. Use it like a “home base” for dipping—without the messy plate puddle.

Question 3

Will Diptrough™ fit my plate?

Accepted Answer

Diptrough™ is made to work with most standard dinner plates and appetizer plates that have a defined outer rim/lip. It performs best on plates with a gentle raised edge rather than ultra-flat plates.

Question 4

Does it work on paper plates?

Accepted Answer

Yes—Diptrough™ can work on sturdy paper plates, but results vary depending on how rigid the plate is and how much the rim flexes. For the cleanest performance, a solid plate with a rim is ideal.

Question 5

What dips and sauces does it work with?

Accepted Answer

Diptrough™ is great for ketchup, ranch, BBQ sauce, honey mustard, buffalo sauce, aioli, salsa, queso, marinara, and more—basically any dip you’d normally smear on the plate.

Question 6

Will it spill if I tilt my plate?

Accepted Answer

Diptrough™ helps contain dips during normal eating, but it’s not a sealed container. If the plate is tilted sharply or carried at an angle, any open dip can move—just like it would in a regular ramekin.

Question 7

Is Diptrough™ dishwasher safe?

Accepted Answer

Diptrough™ is designed for easy cleanup and everyday kitchen use. For the best long-term finish, we recommend placing it on the top rack and avoiding harsh abrasive scrubbers.

Question 8

What is Diptrough™ made from?

Accepted Answer

Diptrough™ is made from durable, food-contact-safe plastic with a grippy, non-slip base material to help it stay put on the plate.

Question 9

Will it scratch my plates?

Accepted Answer

Diptrough™ is designed to be plate-friendly. The non-slip base helps reduce sliding, which helps reduce scuffing. As with any kitchen tool, avoid dragging it aggressively across delicate finishes.

Question 10

What’s the difference between the 4-pack, 8-pack, and 12-pack?

Accepted Answer

Same Diptrough™, same function—just different quantities. The 4-pack is perfect for trying it or smaller households, the 8-pack is a strong middle option, and the 12-pack is built for families, hosting, and keeping extras on hand.

Question 11

Why not just use a ramekin?

Accepted Answer

Ramekins work, but they can slide, take up space, and still leave a mess around them. Diptrough™ is made to live right on the plate edge—keeping the dip contained and the plate cleaner while you eat.

Question 12

Can I use Diptrough™ for more than dipping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. People use it for sauces, dressings, condiments, small toppings, and portioning. Anywhere you want a neat “zone” for something that would normally smear across the plate.
