I FEEL YOU
This is the cooking equivalent of the chair of clothes you can still get one more wear out of
I have different but related issues because I wash dishes by hand.
Sink dishes are different levels of dirty. Mixing them is like stabbing me in the dick. Such as a burger frying pan that contaminate tupperware with oil.
Stacking dishes unnecessarily when there’s counter space. It takes less space but the underside of the plates becomes very dirty sometimes and instead of it being “wipe of oily hand stuff” quick wipe it’s a full clean.
Soup pot - > tupperware - > soup pot reheat is a complete waste of time if you don’t need the pot. You should eat the leftovers first anyway. Just shove the whole pot in the fridge.
Eggs contaminate dishes very fast and smell even though they look clean, it’s best to keep them separate until washing and then double wash.
When I’m washing dishes nobody should dare putting stuff in the sink. The sink is my workspace and filling it up will both make dishes below dirtier and make it harder refresh the water on the bottom. Some cases I can keep the sink cleanish by rinsing off initial grime directly onto the grated drain and then it’s just a quick wash to get a clean sink.
There are probably more but those are from the top of my head in the category “making shit dirty for no reason” that feels like a kick in the nuts when people are trying to help but just create more work. A lot of these make no difference when there’s a dishwasher though.
I used to make this mistake as well, I’d put a lightly dirty plate in the sink to wash later and then carelessly put a more greasy dish on top and eventually the oil from the greasy dish would fall on top of the lightly dirty one and contaminate it, so what used to be a quick wash now turns into a deep clean chore. I’ve started washing my dishes more frequently to prevent this
This guy dishes. Respect.
This seems like a volume problem. How many dishes are you washing at a time? I do the dishes after every meal so it’s never a lot at once.
Same, I do them after every meal but my wife and one year don’t wash dishes.
I pretty much wash as needed.
Need a fork? Take out of sink, wash it.
Need a bowl? Take out of sink, wash it.
Need more room in sink? Take stuff out of sink and wash until there’s room
Works pretty well. Never really have a big stack up in the sink. Throws me off when guests come over and just grab stuff out of the cabinets and drawers like normal people, though.
omg when you’re hungry you have to do dishes first?
Just one dish and one fork, typically. Sometimes the rice cooker.
Ever fill the rice cooker with soapy water immediately after emptying it? Love when time works for me
when we wash by hand (unless it’s my fancy teacups) i wait until we’ve got like 5 popcorn bowls ready. that is usually just two days of popcorn so eh
I made myself a butter knife holder by using a magnet
… FUCK
I’m gonna make a few of these before it gets cold in the shop
Just don’t use your wife’s cutting board, like I did. It had a big crack and I figured I was upcycling. She didn’t notice it was the same and weeks later I got in trouble when she asked where the small cutting board was and I pointed at the butter dish 😅
Who are you, so wise in the ways of science?
there are some who call them… UnPassive?
“magnets, bitch!”
How do they work?
Muthafuckin miracles.
This is how I do Vegemite sangas.
Depends on whether knife was originally used for butter, peanut butter, cream cheese, marmite, marmalade, liver pate, or stool sample.
“hey, can you get me the poop knife?”
“I have a few more bits of poop”
I basically hate AI, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Crocodile Dundee do the"that’s not a knife" scene with a poop knife versus a slightly dirty butter knife
That’s hilariously disgusting. lol
More like it depends on whether the 1st ingredient is the same as (or at least compatible with?) the 2nd one - so long as they match, it’s fine!? :-P
Butter then peanut butter, but not peanut butter then jelly, cream cheese THEN stool sample, not the other way around, and so on.
Sacrilege. Butter in peanut butter will spoil first so the lifetime will be cut short.
I get your point though, I’d consider “Nut butters” and Tahini to be compatible as well as “Plain yoghurt, Greek yoghurt”. Anything finished in the same sitting is fair game also.
Might depend how thoroughly the wipe (onto the bread) was, and how thickly lathered the PB afterwards? :-)
what is this peanut butter and spoil. no peanut butter exists that long
I mean butter, like milk butter inside peanut butter
I think they’re implying the peanut butter will be consumed before the butter has a chance to spoil? Butter lasts a long time, even at room temp
Are a couple of bits of toast a couple of slices of toast? How much toast does this madwoman eat?
It’s actually 8 bits in a bite, with 12 bites to one slice of toast. She just wants him to tip the toaster over her open mouth and tap the bottom until she’s had her fill of the crumbs. He’s happy to be able to reuse the knife to tap the toaster.
tap the bottom until she’s had her fill
hello, appliance store? the toaster you sold me is a lil freaky
It’s actually 8 bits in a bite
This is why gen z can’t learn computer science.
I had a friend once eat a piece of toast so large it took him 1024 bites to get through it. The papers called it “the massive bite.”
I’ve known people who would be pleased by the desire to not make more dishes than necessary.
Me too, but I just leave the butter knife on a plate to begin with. Doesn’t seem necessary to (almost) always get a new one
Goddamnit. I stand accused before the court, and must plead guilty.
No crime has been committed, you are free to go.
Could also rinse and wipe the knife real quick and put it away, ready for future use
Rinse & wipe & put it in the drawer with fully washed knives?
A rinse and wipe is fully washing a knife unless it has something oil-based on it
Camping rules!
camping rules don’t include “rinse”
Woah, calm down there.
Compromise, just wipe it on a tea towel and leave it on the cutting board

Ross, if our lives ever go sideways and you find yourself needing a roommate, I think we would get along just fine.
