Wet food from the sink goes in the compost.
The horror is not that you have wet food in the sink
The horror is that you live with someone who would put food in the sink and let it get wet and linger until the next morning
If it's a day, the word is marinate.
If it's a week, it's ferment.
If it's a month, then it's evolve.
I have plenty of food in the sink when I rinse the plates. It's a lot easier to pick up the little chunks in the filter there than trying to get everything in the first pass in the compost.
I mean between that or putting my hands in shit while changing a diaper, I will take wet food in the sink any day of the week.
I concur
Do you not scrape your plate before putting it in the sink? That seems like it would attract flies.
Garbage disposals do exist. Even so, they're not really meant to be grinding up a whole bunch of food, and neither are the pipes really meant to handle that quantity of solids, even in ground up
Yeah but if op had a garbage disposal they wouldn't care about touching wet food since they wouldn't have to do anything but push it into the drain with a utensil. Only with a normal drain would you have to grab the food bits out with your hand.
Valid point, personally we keep a mesh catch over ours to keep anything really big from getting down there and so we can control what goes down into it.
I scrape the bulk of the food in the compost, but it's more time efficient to let the small chunks get stuck in the filter than trying to get everything over the compost bin.
My method: scrape into trash, rinse and scrub, into the dishwasher, run before bed. Unload while making breakfast.
Ex roommate: rinse food off plate, set in sink, rinse next dish's food onto previous dish, leave/repeat as necessary
WHY IS WET FOOD IN SINK (^=✪ᆽ✪=^)∫
This is my cthulu nightmare.
