Re: kitchen tasks that are NOT fun!

You just need to know tried tips to make life easier for yourself.

Raw meat I think you can always ask your butcher to 'clean' for you.

For the dried milk, just fill with water and place the haandi on heat for 2-3 minutes. It'll come off easily. Same thing with burnt food.

Cut and place onions in cold water before/after you cut them.

Use blender for the haleem.

I'm sure there must be tips for the other two. Just ask the right people.

I hate touching meat and fish, it totally kills my appetite. In fact, I don't think I like cooking much, and cleaning up SUCKS!

I'm with you on cleanign meat..especially chicken..I'm okie with mutton and beef..and I've never cleaned fish...to counter teh disgust I got a stash of disposable plastic gloves so I can clean just about anything now!

And i hate cutting oinions...food factory zindabad!

who handles meat with bare hands? that's so unhygenic.

Try using this and you won't need to wash hands after cleaning meats...

Umm no gloves don't help, it's the squishy feeling and smell and the blood in it that's grosser than gross.

gloves don't help? have you ever tried them or did you put the idea to deathbed before giving it a few sucklings?

Well I'm immune, I can touch and cut meat/onions with bare hands.
Actually, everything that was though once, is not anymore .. just gotten used to it.
