Also interested in the answer to this. Was thinking of putting in some cheap wood / pressboard cabinets but I have no idea what I'm doing or what would work best.

I want bachelor cookware, like a pot that has a removable bowl and you only wash that bowl, plate/pan etc. I wonder if something like that exists. I guess it could be as simple as removable handles. Lazyware.

I'm looking for a clear or unobtrusive belt to wear with my jeans. I am between jeans sizes, which means I either buy the ones that are too loose, or I can't button them. I don't really like belts because the buckles are so obvious under my shirts (I tend to wear shirts that aren't supposed to be tucked in). I have this thing called the "Hip Hugger" that sort of works, but it's flimsy and the clips seem to tear at my belt loops.

Any suggestions? I've seen some clear plastic belts on Amazon (one called "Isabelt" and the other called "Invisibelt"), but the reviews vary wildly.

Seems strange for the pants size to jump so much, usually I can still button even a couple sizes too small. Are you getting inch sizes or SML? Maybe switch to a different brand.

Use thin line to tie two belt loops together on the side?

Or just gain/loose a little weight?

Is a cooking pot not also a bowl? You're overthinking this. Just put an oven mitt down to keep from burning your table or legs and have at it.

If money means nothing to you, the elfa stuff from container store is fantastic and incredibly easy to self-install (which saves a boatload, considering a 2-car with installation can exceed $1k a lot quicker than you'd hope). It also goes on sale often enough that if you can avoid it, don't pay full price.

Does it have a removable bowl? I think some rice cookers do. I wish I could get a rice that had it all nutrition-wise. Soylent rice.

Just toss in veggies, some chicken pieces, a bit of a seasoning mix that you like, replace the water with chicken stock and bam, silent rice.

Yes it does. It's 6 quarts but if you're as lazy as you portray, you're just going to gorge on bachelor chow.

I'm inclined to agree, you're overthinking this. Rather than trying to find some cooker with a removable bowl, why not just look for a bowl made from a material that could be used on a stove top?

Something like this should be appropriate for minimum effort

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
I'm looking for a decent security camera. There's been a rash of break-ins in my neighborhood recently, and I figure that's a good enough reason to get one.

I saw that the Nest security cam is on sale for $150 on Amazon right now, but I'd prefer one a little cheaper than that, unless the consensus is that anything cheaper than that is garbage.

A full tray of ice and lemon slices. Pulse it until it's clean with cold water. The ice will sharpen the knives in the machine as well. Really, a handful of ice every week does a great job of keeping your disposal clean.

Garbage disposal blades aren't like steak knives, they are meaty industrial chunks of metal. Running ice through helps polish, clean and "sharpen" them by making their job easier.
