What exactly do you get? Sachet, portions & shipping
How much rub you need depends on the blend, dish and dose. Below you can calculate a bag’s coverage, check our packs and learn how to store rub. Calculations using 100 grams are examples, not a promise of a fixed number of meals.
The bag and chosen contents
Check the net contents of your chosen item; individual products and packs do not all use the same size. The Starter Pack offers three 100-gram bags of your choice. The 3-Evening Pack has three smaller 50-gram bags of your choice. Larger 500-gram products are another option.
Calculations below always use 100 grams. For other sizes, use the same formula with the actual grams on your packaging.
Ingredients and allergens
Use current product information and the label. Besides spices, a rub may contain other ingredients such as salt or sugar. “Only spices” is therefore not an accurate general description of every blend.
Mixed to order
Our rubs are mixed to order. Their spices come from Kerala, India. That is not the same as claiming everything is ground just before dispatch or all aroma compounds remain intact.
Seal well
Close packaging carefully after use. Where needed, use a clean, dry, tightly sealable storage container and follow storage instructions. No packaging automatically protects against all moisture or improper storage.
How much does one bag cover?
The formula is: rub weight in grams ÷ dose in grams per kilo = kilos of food you can season. Use the dose in current product information or your chosen recipe and adjust to taste. Different blends and dishes need different amounts.
The original doses below are used solely as calculation examples. They are not universal advice for all rubs and do not indicate edible portions remaining after cooking.
| Example dish | Assumed dose for calculation | Calculated coverage from 100 g |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken wings | 60 g per 1.5 kg | 2.5 kg wings at this dose |
| Chicken thighs | 65 g per 1.5 kg | About 2.31 kg thighs at this dose |
| Spareribs | 65 g per kg | About 1.54 kg ribs at this dose |
| Pulled pork | 65 g per kg as a calculation example | About 1.54 kg raw meat at this dose |
The number of people or BBQ sessions depends on portions, bones, cooking loss, sides and appetite. One bag does not automatically equal two or three family meals.
Weight per spoon varies with grain size, ingredients and how full you fill it. Use kitchen scales to follow or repeat a gram dose. Set aside a working portion and keep the stock away from raw meat and used equipment.
How long does it keep?
Follow the date and storage instructions on packaging. There is no universal rule that every opened rub is at its best for exactly six months or an unopened bag always lasts much longer. Aroma and texture change with ingredients, moisture, heat, oxygen and storage.
Store dark, dry and cool, away from the hob, steam and direct sunlight. Use clean, dry utensils and seal well after use. Pour or scoop out a portion rather than touching the stock with hands contaminated by raw food.
Smelling can indicate aroma but does not prove an uncertainly stored rub is safe. Do not use a product with mould, unwanted moisture or unreliable storage. Do not judge safety solely by a strong smell.
From order to delivery
You choose
Choose a product or pack and check contents, selected flavours, ingredients and allergens. With the Starter Pack, choose three 100-gram bags according to current product information.
We mix to order
Rub is mixed after ordering. That is our process, not a guarantee that every user tastes a difference from every other spice blend.
Shipping and delivery
Shipping within the Netherlands is free. Other destinations have different terms and rates; check current information for your order.
A delivery estimate is not a guaranteed arrival date. Packaging and delivery method depend on the order: do not assume one bag always fits through the letterbox or that three bags are a fixed threshold for a box.
You prepare your dish
Dose to suit the rub and recipe. Long seasoning times are not always compulsory; if preparing raw meat earlier, keep it covered and chilled within its shelf life. Check appropriate safe doneness separately from colour or crust.
Email your order number to info@therubkitchen.nl so we can review your question against the right order.
