The bowl on the side ...

This after a friend was with me while I was cooking … she noticed that even though my bin is easy access , yet I keep a plate/bowl next to me all through the cooking process in which I throw off peels /garbage/left overs etc etc .. and then in the end throw it in the bin all together :hmmm:

I thought most people do it that way , coz its just ..erm .. convenient :konfused: … but she said no.. thats laziness and wrong use of the bin !

My MIL was surprised as well when I cooked for her in Pakistan … so do you guys use a bin bowl or not?

Re: The bowl on the side …

I do that! :lifey:

Re: The bowl on the side ...

I do it too...!!

Re: The bowl on the side ...

Yaay :AID:

Re: The bowl on the side ...

count me in.

Re: The bowl on the side ...

Ya I usually do that too

Re: The bowl on the side ...

I do the same thing to keep things out of the way. Its not laziness, its convenience.

Re: The bowl on the side ...

I don't do that....I just leave a big mess...so ppl know that i actually attempted to cook!

Re: The bowl on the side ...

Stop watching Rachel Ray you guys

Re: The bowl on the side …

Ditto-I do the same.

Is Rachel Ray the rip-off version of our Auntie Nigella Lawson :halo:

Re: The bowl on the side ...

I do that too! It's just a lot easier to throw out all the mess when you're done cooking.
I tend to use the microwave cover..just turn it around, and it's a nice size to hold everything :D

Re: The bowl on the side ...

i do it since its easy for me n i m sure mostly ppl do this............

Re: The bowl on the side …

I remember long time ago , when I wasnt in the habit of using the bowl , and would keep going back and forth to the bin , half the peels and garbage would get thrown out of the bin :smack: … I could never get the “nishana” right .. the peels would somehow fall out of the bin rather then in there … and then my life changed with the bowl idea … so convenient :@:

Re: The bowl on the side ...

i use bin no matter what!!! i dun like kachra while i am cookinh.... :)

Re: The bowl on the side …

i dont see whats so werid about the bowl thing…i dont remember seeing anyone use it, but OMGSH I HATE when people throw stuff in the sink. its like…disgusting whenu gotta go do the dishes. :shudder:

Re: The bowl on the side …

:eek: I saw people do the sink thing in pakistan … totally disgusting .. using a bowl is so much better … :no:

Re: The bowl on the side …

my sil used to do the sink thing and i would just go :smack:

i too am a collecter and thrower outer :smiley:

for me its just lots of bending and opening cabinet (we have inner cabinet dustbin), and shutting cabinet etc etc

kaun kare itna kaam.. so for me its lazyness.

and i too like you have horrific nishana. peels and wotnot always landed outside… its horrible when its chicken skin that just sticks to teh carpeting… and u try to pick it up ever so lightly so it doesnt stick but the more u try the more it sticks and then ure struggling..

Re: The bowl on the side ...

I use the counter top... then clean it off at the end. is that wrong?

I know someone who did that because she used to have a kitchen with a garbage disposal, so I can understand doing it out of habit the first few times…but I think later she did it just to annoy me (cz guess who did the cleaning :mad: )

I guess thats fine if u clean off the counter top with spray and stuff and not just plain water.

why spray? it’s veggies/fruits/ food we’re talking about right? hmmmmm
