Close to accurate for me, except I rinse that fork immediately then still set it somewhere similar.. you know, cause the easiest time to clean anything is the moment it needs cleaning
Not me. Watch me use every utensil and just throw it into the sink after a single use, knowing well someone else is going to clean that. (It’s me. I’m someone else, but later)
"Hurr durr why don't guys put their dirty utensils right on the counter? That's such a guy thing!!!" This is fucking stupid. I learned that from my mom. It's basic kitchen etiquette. Fuck off with this nonsense.
I think the point was more along the lines of "either put that on a clean dish or something, or throw it into the sink to wash it later, but don't balance shit on top of other shit or waste a piece of paper just so that you save cleaning 1 utensil". I wouldn't know though, I'm team balance.
"Cage free" milk. In some developed nations it's common practice to raise cows in cages for efficiency. At milking time, the opposite walls of the cage gently move inward, exerting an even pressure on each side of the cow and squeezing out the milk. The cycle repeats with the floor/roof and the back/front walls thereby extracting the maximum possible milk from the bovine. The extracted milk runs out the bottom of the cage into collecting trays. Higher pressure is used to extract chocolate milk.
It's efficient! Why create more dishes or mess when I don't need to? I still do this even if I'm not the one doing dishes so I don't create more work for them.
Depends on the consistency of eggs you want. But also you're already dirtying a pan AND a fork, you can rinse the fork off to eat so that does double duty. You really want to wash an extra whisk and bowl even if you for some reason hate fluffier eggs?
If no spoon rest is available then this is absolutely correct. Placing the utensil straight onto the countertop is absolutely disgusting. It's the same countertop where he would have put the milk carton, and when was the last time the bottom of the milk shelf in the grocery store was cleaned to make it food safe? How long since the countertop was cleaned to the point you could eat off it? Disgusting. The utensil should absolutely be kept off the counter.
Yeah, people put their bags on the counter too, a purse that has been on the floor of the car and the filthy conveyor that someone else's bag from the floor of the car has been on, etc. etc. keys that have never been sanitized get tossed on there, and do not get me started about everyone's toxic phones....
If they're anything like my wife, they chuck it in the sink and grab a new one from the drawer, so that every piece of flatware feels included during meal prep and when I come looking for the spoon that I used, washed, dried, and put back in the drawer... it's in the sink with all its brothers and sisters and distant cousins
I'm the paper towel guy, but I don't just use a tiny scrap. Also, I put the fork or spoon upside down for less ground contact. Fold the paper towel in half and the underside is still good for wiping down the counter with sanitizer spray afterwards.
Ummm, a girl gave it to me like a few years ago...hold on...it's from David's Tea. They went under in the States and I also looked online but I didn't see any. They use that fox on a lot of their stuff. My roommate is making food and was using it but there it is lol.
I usually have to put some vegetables in omelette, for flavour. Since that needs a chopping board, I put any spoons I use for taking out condiments or hummus or whatever on the same chopping board too. Else, I use a clean small plate to keep all cooking spoons off the shelf, just as other people use a ladle-holder, essentially a custom-shaped ceramic dish that takes less space on shelf. Washing an extra dish feels a lot easier to me than scrubbing the counter
True, that's why I give the utensil a quick rinse before using it again. This cycle will repeat until the food is cooked and then I'll use it to eat with. Usually it's a spoon, occasionally a fork.
While yes, damaging the coating makes it less non-stick, the actual material is chemically inert and won't harm you. The bigger problem is the chemicals used to make non-stick pans, those chemicals are bad for you and are most often just dumped out into the area surrounding the production plants.
yeah, i'm not trusting that cancer, and btw there have been 50 "non scratch non stick" pans for the past 30 years .... But yeah, I've seen Ramsay do the same sh1t in his mushroom omelette video, althout that was filmed "in the wild"
Am honest answer in case you are young and inexperienced, you can see the silver colored untreated 'ring' around the top of the pan, before it turns black on the cooking surface. This pan is metal treated in a non-stick 'teflon' coating. Coated cookware (not enameled) should never be used with metal utensils or high heat or in a dishwasher, as it degeades the polymers and chips/forever chemicals can be released. Go nuts with uncoated cast iron and carbon steel or even copper, though
I am not young and inexperienced. I am old and inexperienced. I did know not to use metal utensils on a teflon-coated pan, but didn't know that that was how to identify one. Thank you!

You mean you dont use half of your kitchen to make a simple dish and then cross contaminate it all together in the sink? That's far too considerate.

Not to mention rinsing something covered in oil on top of all the dishes already in the sink

Crush the fork into a tiny cube of compacted metal, as God intended.

Like the reddit post and no doubt many other platforms this was copied from, while amusing, it is pointlessly gendered.

If you're suspending a milky fork above the counter, then it's still going to drip milk on the counter.

I put everything dangling with the dirty side over the kitchen sink (or on top of a small cutting board). But then again I'm a woman.

I have a little dish on the stove top exactly for this.

But then you have to wash that dish

Nah, wait until the mold completely colonizes it, then throw it away.

Noob! You train the mold to remove itself!

Dude, just put that on the sink! Like this.
sagejosh0
Sadly this isn’t something you can do with a spoon or fork.
cousteau
Like hell you can't. Upside down, with the part that bends backwards being the last point of contact.
sagejosh0
I suppose. It sounds like your silverware is more curved than mine though. Most of mine would drop into the sink if you tried to rest it on that spot.

Kitchen sinks are filthy. Nothing that touches them doesn't get a hot water and soap wash
cousteau
The INSIDE is filthy! The border should be mostly fine. Also just don't let the blade touch the rim, just the handle; it should be fine.

Pro move right here

Anything that close to the sink has touched the sink as far as I'm concerned, and is now contaminated.

Dude, clean your sink.
DeanSledgehammer
Not true! The contaminants actually respect the "to-be-used utensil rule" for multiple hours, especially near the sink.
SrPootStank
True, that's why I give the utensil a quick rinse before using it again. This cycle will repeat until the food is cooked and then I'll use it to eat with. Usually it's a spoon, occasionally a fork.

Metal fork in a non-stick pan? You just lost kitchen privileges.

Nonstick pan alone is reason enough to lose your privileges
Just use steel pans and scrape them clean for 20 minutes
