re-dip

Plunge in twice

To re-dip is to dip something again—returning a chip to the salsa bowl, giving a pretzel another pass through the cheese, or submerging an item for a second coat of paint or finish.

The practice of re-dipping food after taking a bite is considered unsanitary in shared settings: No re-dipping—that's disgusting.
