Spoon Rests! What A Totally Superflous Kitchen Item!

[icyfroth]

I often see them in the op shops and think pffft, what a useless item. As if you couldn't use a saucer or whatever you have at hand while you're cooking. Making bolognese tonight I just rested the spoon on the side of the can.

so now we are moving on to being groped in a pub?

wow this thread really does have it all!

Lis is correct. Wrong poster re the pub.
Why bring that up in this thread anyway?..you could have bumped the original thread if you genuinely wanted to ask that question.

What do you mean by REAL kitchen? Don't most homes have real kitchens?

If you mean a commercial kitchen, why do you think home cooks should be expected to know the food safety regs/procedures required in those?

Bit touchy are we? The fact remains, get ur info correct before posting it.

yes, the majority of the posters are unlikely to be commercial food handlers, or use bleach, as sineater does. But I bet we still all love to cook 🙂 and as Martini pointed out, some thought as to how we clean is also a good idea for the environment. Thanks Martini 🙂

I love your enthusiasm, sineater. You must really love what you do 🙂

Bleach - what do people use in their swimming pools?

Chlorine is the basis for the most commonly used bleaches, for example, the solution of sodium hypochlorite, which is so ubiquitous that most simply call it "bleach",

They use bleach to sterilize DRINKING water...

A Risk Assessment Report (RAR) conducted by the European Union on sodium hypochlorite conducted under Regulation EEC 793/93 concluded that this substance is safe for the environment in all its current, normal uses

Some thought, as to how we clean, with Any Cleanser, is a good idea for the environment.

as you see, readers, I was speaking generally. Hope that helps 🙂

Bleach might be safe or unsafe for the environment, I wouldn't know.  It is certainly not good if you aren't connected to mains sewerage.  We have our own septic system here with leach drains and bleach really upsets the balance so I'm told.
