Weirdly enough I had a similar problem until I took the Washington state food handlers test and certification online. It basically showed me why many of my untrained food storage habits were actually dangerous.
I mean … I still do that but at least now I know.
Remember that those are designed to cover asses and cater to people with many different levels of working immune system. You may or may not need to actually be anywhere near that strict in your own home.
Says the person who’s wasting letters writing titles inefficientlylyly
That remind me. I need to clean out my refrigerator tonight.

In the same way that being trans is not a choice but comes with the human experience of being that person and living in that body, being of a certain age is also just not a choice. Getting randomly bitchslapped for it as I skim through comments is unpleasant, which was clearly your intent.
I’d expect someone who knows what it is to be othered as a matter of rote to also refrain from using othering terms, rather than selfishly offloading the same exact casually offensive shit unnecessarily onto those they in turn consider to be easy targets.
Guess I expected wrong.
Writing a guilt trip to compare “ok boomer” to the vitriol and hate that trans people experience is some big boomer energy.

It’s the shitty behavior, shitting on someone else just for being unlike you and having different standards for yourself, that i was calling out. Don’t even try to make this an ageism thing because we both know you know it isn’t. Nice try scumbag, fuck off.
Dishwasher? My parents had one. As an adult living on my own, even with roommates, I’ve never lived in a home with one. I’ve never had enough dishes to necessitate one. I don’t think I’ve even seen one in decades.
this is fucking baffling to me because EVERYONE here has a dishwasher and has had one for at least… two generations now…
The only places that don’t have one is tiny apartments where it would occupy half the kitchen.Where is the “here” to which you’re referring? I have lived in the United States for the last 47 years (since my birth), and I have lived in six different states (UT, CO, MN, NY, NH, FL). In each of these, I have occupied apartments and houses that had at least 3 to 6 bedrooms.
So I’m really not sure what you’re talking about.
I’ve lived in over 20 apartments in 4 different US states. Only one of them did not have a dishwasher and that was over 20 years ago. It’s been exceedingly rare that I even saw a place without one. So yeah your comments and anger about this are strange.
It’s so strange that someone would tell such a fantastical lie. Also strange that someone would feel the need to compete in such an odd way.
I’m gonna block you. You certainly have nothing of value to add to any conversation. Nobody likes a shit stirrer.
Yeah I agree it’s bizarre that someone would tell the lie that they’ve lived for decades without having a dishwasher and on top of that, pretend it’s totally normal.
Also thanks for blocking me! Will be nice not to hear from you moving forward!
i checked their post history and they reference being drunk while commenting previously, so i can only assume they went on one hell of a bender and fixated on dishwashers while struggling with some sort of trauma…
Before I decided to move into my current place I had a moment where I noticed the listing page said the place didn’t have a dishwasher and I didn’t remember seeing one specifically when viewing the place, so I texted the property manager. His response: “yes, it has a dishwasher, that was just an oversight. All modern properties have a dishwasher.” Not sure if he said that because of laws in this state or what but it basically reflects my experience also. I’ve very rarely even seen a home without a dishwasher, it’s been years since I saw one.
So I agree with you. This guy is quite weird…
Easy if you don’t cook much.
Well, I do, but I wash as I cook. So, by the time my food is done, I have nothing left to do but eat.
I find it to be very convenient, and a better use of cooking time than staring at my phone
Sounds like a lot of precious water going down the drain, again and again.
Explain how it is anything other than extremely efficient
A dishwasher generally use less water than running dishes under the tap.
But it does use more electricity. And if you are alone you’re either waiting a week to wash dishes or doing more loads that aren’t full.
IMO in wetter areas where water use isn’t a problem you’re better off saving the energy and letting the water run in the sink. If water use is an issue it may be worth it to do at least a prewash/soak in a filled sink then do a faster running rinse in the second sink, or a filled rinse with a mild anti bacterial agent if you’re cool with that.
How? Washing dishes under the tap uses exactly 0 electricity. How does using a dishwasher use less electricity than that?
I like to hear your explanation for that
They said water not electricity. And unless you’re using cold water it takes electricity to heat water usually.
The amount of water used for the first item would be enough to clean all of them, but your method requires fresh rinse water for each, even if you have a sinkful of suds sitting (and getting cold) while you work.
That sounds like a terribly inefficient way to wash. That’s not how I wash my dishes.
Clearly, your mother didn’t teach you how to wash up. Or, she didn’t teach you how to wash up very well. Shame on you both. and I’m a goddamn American, and even I know better.
Ew
And Shame. Shame on you.
And how fucking dare you try to blame anyone other than yourself
I clean up as I cook by loading the cooking items in the dishwasher, arranged to leave places for the serving and eating dishes, which get added immediately after use throughout the day. No rinsing, just scraping. Last thing at night, when I’ve fed the cat and put her used bowl in, I start the dishwasher. It washes and rinses and sanitizes the whole day’s dishes in 3 gallons of water, or about 1½ minutes worth of running my California Water Saver kitchen tap. For a standard unrestricted tap it’s less than a minute. Even a highly efficient hand-washer like yourself will have trouble beating that.
I’m sorry that this topic is getting you so upset. And I’m not saying you ought to change how you do your dishes. It’s likely that in your area there isn’t a constant threat of drought, and your electricity may not come from solar and wind, so the ecological tradeoff works the other way. Plus your method brings you joy, which is worth a lot more than the opinions of a few random people on the internet.
That’s pretty efficient, though. She’s making use of the vertical space.
Spouse got into containers. MAXIMUM space achieved, but now we get to eat leftovers for most of the week
Try cooking in smaller batches.
Cooking once and eating leftovers all week might sound like hell to the eater, but it’s heaven for the cooker.
Oh I cook for 2. Spouse cooks like they learned at a 15 person farm. Great for meal prep, not so much for variety
That’s on you.
Dishwasher? Yes
That? No.
Seems fine to me. Taking everything out to put the pizza box on the bottom, then removing it again to take out a slice of pizza is inefficient
i do the same thing. the leftover pizza will be gone first thing in the morning anyway.
The tighter a fridge is packed, the more will be thrown in the trash
If it fits it sits.
Fridge Tetris. Ugh
If the door shuts…
the real test is what happens when you open the door again
This hurts my heart. If I were to say there was any “failure” (I use that term loosely here), it’s that you obviously deprived your child of the joy that is Tetris.
But, fear not! It’s never too late.

Omg a clutterbug raised a clutter bug?!?!
Peanut butter, syrup don’t need to be refrigerated. Pizza sauce left overs saved, but it’ll be trash b4 you mage another pizza. I could go on, but i don’t care enough
Everything goes in the fridge when you have ants.
Peanut butter and syrup should need refrigerating - only the preservative laden crap is shelf stable (which admittedly, is what is pictured).
Pizza sauce freezes very well in silicone cubes.
Absolutely incorrect on all fronts here.
In what way? Natural peanut butter requires refrigeration, as does any peanut butter you make at home. Maple syrup requires refrigeration. And pizza sauce is perfectly usable after freezing.
Syrup does.
Evwn the label says to do it after opening.Else it could develoo mold. And maple syrup is expensive in Europe.
That’s not maple syrup. That’s American syrup-like product
Maple syrup should be refrigerated even more than sugar syrup.
I used to not refrigerate my syrup. However, that changed when I found a scoby growing in it one day. And some people refrigerate natural peanut butter so that the oil doesn’t separate.
Crazy take on my party: syrup is pure sugar. You dont need to keep it that long. Have a taste and throw it out quickly.
It has no health benefits, besides gluttonous non-nutritional calories. A dandelion from the sidewalk is healthier for you.
Itll literally kill your boner and take your limbs given time.
But sometimes I just like to argue
