It means let the alcoholic prep guy hold the bottle of Tabasco over the bowl for 6.5 seconds.

Experiment time:
1. Pour a shot of tequila 2. Place a teaspoon on the counter and fill it with 13 shakes of tabasco 3. Note how full the teaspoon is 4. Pour the tabasco into the tequila shot and slam it

Shake the tabasco 13 times measure it and find out it’ll be better than our internet guesses

Ok but like this isn’t NOMA or some shit where you need to have insane precision for recipe consistency.
If the kitchen is stocking bottles of Tabasco and not bulk jugs, then I don’t see a problem with this. One less measuring spoon to clean lol.

The internet says the average male produces about a teaspoon, but if you can get there in 13 shakes, more power to you!

Kind of doesn’t matter how many Shakeys you drip into 5 pounds of butter it’s still gonna suck.

1 shakee = 1 up down

This is kitchen bible gold. I love it. On a more serious note- I’m guessing that the person writing this just had the shakees and meant a dash.
From the accuracy project: “DASH – A dash holds 1/8 teaspoon. 8 dashes = 1 teaspoon A dash was originally considered a liquid measure, a small but indefinite amount. More recently the term has been used as both a liquid and dry measurement.”
So are we ignoring the margarine and the white pepper

Cutting the butter with margarine is the real crime here

A regular Tabasco bottle will probably give off a fairly consistent measure of sauce with each shake. So if you really want to get a an accurate conversion, test it with 13 shakes in to a small measuring cup and then maybe divide it in to tablespoons. Maybe even try it 3 times and take the average.
But really 13 shakes or dashes of sauce from a bottle isn’t that outrageous. The flavor fluctuation with in 3 lbs of butter and 2lbs of margarine, with these other ingredients would be negligible.

2 tbsp. I would bet a quarter on this

I like shakee as a measurement and will be incorporating it into my daily life

If you shake it more than twice you’re playing with it

Culinary school grads these days don’t even know how to put some hot sauce on that bad boy 😔 smh my head can I get an f in chat

I have to admit, that the metric system doesn’t work very well for spices either…
10 grams of dried Basil from Tesco equals around 0.1 grams of dried Basil from my friend Mathilde from near Montpellier…

Anything more than 3 shakees is just playing with it.

“shakee” can refer to a unit of volume or a unit of weight. As we measuring tabasco in this case, we will obviously want the weight measurement.
A shakee is equivalent to 4 grundles, or one fifth of a whipsnort.

Invert the tobasco and jack it 13 times.

No, I think it’s self explanatory.

Change Tabasco to “ To Taste”.

More than 13 shakees and you’re playing with it.

This is obviously 13 seconds of a line cook holding the bottle post energy drink pre smoke break. Aka about 1Tbsp

So according [to this](https://awww.yahoo.com/lifestyle/many-drops-bottle-tabasco-sauce-051519948.html#:~:text=There%20are%20countless%20hot%20sauces,8%20ounce%20just%2045%20drops) there are 720 drops in a 2 ounce bottle
From there, converting ounces to grams (rounded up to 57), you get 0.0791667 grams/drop.
Multiply that by 13 and you get… 1 gram of sauce!
(Alternatively, it’d be 1/5 teaspoons)
**Edit:** in a 6 pound butter sauce, they only want less than a quarter teaspoon of Tabasco? What are they, Dutch?
