To be fair, another Brit said the last step is supposed to be pouring water over the dish rack, so maybe that step for lost along the way, and the 'soap drips off' people are just defending their normal against cultural attacks. Like my Polish friend insisting all mushrooms must be peeled. Like... Button mushrooms.

Don't worry it's not wasteful, they use the bath water.

A lot of dish racks are meant to be in the second sink, so in that case I could see washing and then giving the whole thing a spray down at the end being effective enough and probably saves some water. You'd probably miss the undersides of bowls and plates to some extent though.

Yeah but one of these is a food, which is always disagreed upon and argued about. One is soap! I could see brit dish soap not being scented to hell and back like everything stateside.

Hershey's is weird and tastes vaguely like puke, and yes most of us eat it anyways, but I feel like people think that is only option Americans have or something, when even basic grocery stores have like 100 kinds of chocolate to choose from, and none of the other ones taste like barf..

Is there a word or phrase for the residue that the dishwasher sometimes leaves on the plates and glasses? My partner can't smell it but sometimes I have to rinse or rewash a glass before drinking from it.

I saw some middle eastern people discussing this on twitter like two months ago. Apparently there are some turkish/arabic/farsi words for this smell and it's a meme that white people can't smell it.

I've found certain silicone or plastic cups absorb and accumulate that detergent odor something fierce. One day I drank my son's leftover cup of water and about fell on my rear end :barf:

Silicone absorbs dishwasher soap terribly. If you dishwash a rubber spatula, then use it to make a cake or something, the soap in the cake batter is still overwhelming to me.

The wet dog smell is a different thing. For me, I only get it from some dishwashers, so idk if it's the type of soap used or whether the dishwasher needs to be cleaned or what. I get it from my mom's, but thank God, not from my own.

I really want it to be one of those practices where, it's a bastardized version of something that actually makes sense. Like you don't have to rinse the soap off of a soup pot because you'd use it to rinse vegetables the next day anyhow, so you conserve soap and water.

...but this is humans we're talking about so the dumbest explanation has a good chance of being right :negative:

Wait... Why would soap be involved in rinsing vegetables?

On top of gas stoves poisoning you with nitrogen dioxide, they’ve identified a mechanism for airborne particulates from frying to cause lung cancer

at harmful as smoking, doubles chances of lung cancer

long thread with links to several studies:

What a colossal load of horseshit

Using high particulates in a particular single instance of frying something as a proxy for cancer risk in general is very bad and not scientific

Using a meta analysis that itself cites some absolutely massive flaws in the study as evidence suggests that the best he can do is something that I found wholly unconvincing, especially as the majority of the studies were retrospective and relied on participant recollections, notoriously bad and unreliable ways of measuring anything

Even if you accept his hypothesis, the idea that occasionally frying something in a normal kitchen is as dangerous as smoking is nonsensical: the meta analysis conclusion (which is pretty shaky anyway) is that poor ventilation and constant stir frying is a risk factor, it draws no conclusions about people who fry something every so often, nor does it makes any meaningful correlation between frequency of frying and risk

Referring to frying in general as astronomically hazardous is absolute lunacy and makes me think this guy is either a paid shill for natural gas, or sells N95 masks for a living
