Is it ok to double dip if you have your own personal container of whatever you're dipping into?

Of course. The alternative is to have a separate dish of sauce for every time you dip something. That would make five to ten dishes for each egg roll.

Apparently you have no idea why double dipping is considered undesirable.

Double dipping ONLY applies to SHARED dips.

Have a polite day.

Etiquette takes over where laws end.

Yes, as long as your quantity of dipping sauce isn't being shared, it's perfectly fine and expected.

Yes... IF you are going to use it all. So, in the case of your ramekin, yes.

It is not sanitary -- for you -- to insert germs into a substance, such as a container of dip, and then store it for future use, even if it is to be used again only by you.

I don't see why not. It's your own dish, your germs or whatever are the only ones going into it. I don't believe it's considered impolite as long as it's your own dish.

definitely okay to double dip in your own sauce. The only reason people get mad when people double dip in a sharing sauce is because of "germs" or its "grose". But when its your own personal dipping sauce double triple dip all you want cuz its your germs.

The rule is "Don't contaminate shared foods with your own personal cooties." Is your little dish of sauce a shared food?

of course! double dipping is only about sharing : )

Would you expect a clean spoon for every spoonful of soup from your own bowl?

Yes of course it is
