Ketchup is an ingredient that can probably be found in every kitchen.
Some have a habit of slathering ketchup on almost every dish, and few will eat a box of meat and macaroni without ketchup.
Ketchup also belongs in hamburgers. And when it comes to hamburgers, the eyes turn to the chefs of the Burgerhood YouTube channel.
Chefs Risto Mikkola and Mika Pikkis Tuomonen are looking for the perfect Burger recipe on their channel.
This time, the burger men focus on ketchup. Thirteen different tomato seasoning sauces have been selected for the test. According to the chefs, the spread was surprisingly large.
Ketchup prices are taken from the K-ruoka.fi website. Only Hela’s curry spice ketchup was sold out. Its original price was found on the Fiksuruoka website.
Risto Mikkola and Pikkis Tuomonen found an overwhelming winner among 13 ketchups. Screenshot from the Burgerhood video
1. Pirkka Pirkka tomato ketchup 1250 g
Comments:
– Grainy is grainy. There is a surprising amount of salt (1.9 g/100 g), even though it doesn’t taste good. The taste is slightly leady and initially watery. I wouldn’t put it in a meat macaroni box, and I wouldn’t put it in a burger.
Price: €2.89/piece (2.31/kg)
Country of manufacture: Finland
2. Ilona tomato ketchup 1 kg
Comments:
– I do not like at all. Won’t continue.
Price: €2.55/kg
Country of manufacture: Finland
3. Aura ketchup 1040 g
Comments:
– It immediately tastes completely different from the previous ones. At this point, this went awry. In ketchup, its tomato and fruitiness taste great,
Price: €2.75/piece (€2.64/kg)
Country of manufacture: Estonia
4. Felix ketchup 500 g
Comments:
– This is the Swedish equivalent of Heinz. However, it tastes like lead. The tomato’s own taste is lost from the ketchup.
Price: €1.89/piece (3.78/kg)
Country of manufacture: Swedish
5. Felix ketchup Hellfire 500 g
Comments:
– By the way, it has a surprisingly strong taste. Good hot ketchup with a nice quick kick. The taste is also balanced.
Price: €2.99/piece (5.98/kg)
Country of manufacture: Swedish
6. Pirkka unsweetened tomato ketchup 450 g
Comments:
– Sugar-free tastes good. There is clearly some sweetener in this, which leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I wouldn’t use this.
Price: €1.95/piece (4.33/kg)
Country of manufacture: Finland
7. K-Menu tomato ketchup 1 kg
Comments:
– Wonderfully tasty. Has chipboard flavor. There is 1.6 g of salt per 100 g. There is no acid, and it does not taste like anything. As if continued with water.
Price: €0.49/pc
Country of manufacture: Finland
8. Heinz Ketchup 1 kg
Comments:
– Definitely the most balanced taste. Sweetness, saltiness, acids and tomato all taste nice.
Price: €3.09/pc
Country of manufacture: Netherlands
9. Hela curry spice ketchup 300 ml original
Comments:
– It’s far from ketchup, which can already be seen in the color. But it tastes like it promises. I wouldn’t put it in a burger though.
Price: €4.98 / piece (5.83/l)
Country of manufacture: Germany
10. Mutti tomato ketchup 340 g
Comments:
– I don’t like it very much. The texture is not smooth and shiny, which also affects the ketchup’s taste.
Price: €1.69/piece (4.97/kg)
Country of manufacture: Italy
11. Heinz ketchup 960 g (50% less sugar and salt)
Comments:
– 50 percent less sugar and salt tastes better in ketchup. The taste is not good. I’d rather have half the regular Heinz than this.
Price: €4.35/piece (4.53/kg)
Country of manufacture: Netherlands
12. Jävla Sås Bolag 210 ml Ketchup
Comment:
– The taste is good, but the product is not ketchup-style.
Price: €5.99/piece (28.52/l)
Country of manufacture: Finland
13. Pirkka pepper ketchup 470 g
Comment:
– The pepper tastes in the background. Could be a stronger taste. Maybe pepper should be a bigger grain among the ketchup.
Price: €1.85/piece (3.94/kg)
Country of manufacture: Finland
WINNER:
– Heinz is Heinz, you can’t get anywhere, the chefs say.
Both rated ketchup, which was tasted as the eighth best in the test.
It came as a good second Aura ketchupand no Felix’s fiery ketchup was even crazier.
– It was what was promised.
