Also, I feel like this goes without saying, but you are going to want a really tall-walled and deep/wide sink if you are going to have a commercial sprayer.

Since we are on coffee chat, is there a “best” style/brand/model of those pour over coffee drippers that look like a cone on top of a saucer? I don’t drink coffee, but my wife does, and I want to get her one to use for iced coffee, etc. I was going to get her a Chemex, but our house is crazy tiny and cabinet/counter space is incredibly limited.

Dishwasher can be efficient if you have a lot of people in the house and are going to run it every or every other day. In a house with just one or two people it can just be kind of overkill unless you are those people who use a new glass/plate for refills

Speaking of outdated information, modern dishwashers use less water than hand washing even for fairly small loads. https://www.reviewed.com/dishwashers/features/please-stop-hand-washing-your-dishes

Like all statistics, you have to look at the methodology they use to get their results:

quote:

One cleaned using a basin of soapy water, while the other left the water running during the scrubbing and sponging.

What about third option; soap everything up w wet sponge and then rinse all at once? That’s what I do and it seems a lot more water-efficient than either filling up the basin or leaving the faucet running the whole time.

E. VVVDon’t want to continue the derail, but I will say my wife and I have gotten pretty good at using a single set of glasses, plates, and cutlery over the years in tiny apartments w/o dishwashers, so yes, but I understand the same isn’t true for everyone.

Could you confine the cat to a room for a little bit while the stuff cools? I feel like no other option will outsmart a cat besides putting the cookies, etc. in a second, not in use, oven

E. Don’t put the cat in oven tho

E2. I feel like a cat would push a box off a counter just as easily as a rack, but other posters have potential solutions

Holy poo poo i do probly once a day. Also whats clad?

You should never wash a hot pan/cookware cause there is a risk of “thermal shock”; basically, the outer layer of the pan cool down much faster than the inner layers of the pan, which causes warping, etc (heat causes expansion, cold causes contraction). Same reason you wouldn’t run cold water over a hot glass dish

I’d recommend you add a 10”-12” carbon steel skillet to that list. It’s kind of an-between of a cast iron pan and stainless steel pan and probably my overall “most used” item in the kitchen.

Also, get several good wooden spoons and a few silicone “spoonulas”. It’s nice to just be able to grab a clean spoon/spoonula when you need one.

E. The carbon steel would easily replace the “fry skillet” you mentioned, fyi

E2. I also have a little non-stick sauce pot (it’s a 1.5qt, I think) that I use a bunch when I’m reheating leftover tomato sauces (or more liquids dishes, like chili, curry, etc) just cause clean up is much faster.

This is sort of kitchen equipment related? I want to buy a work table for my kitchen to expand the counter space a bit. I do not want a stainless steel one. I would like something that basically looks like https://butcherblockco.com/product/clcowota but significantly cheaper. I don't need such a thick countertop. I'm basically looking for a countertop depth/height with a surface and two open shelves. There are many out there but I'm worried they won't be sturdy enough and the John Boos one looks sturdy as hell. A lot don't appear to be countertop depth either. Anyone get something similar that they like?

I have this thing by ikea as our kitchen island. It’s very sturdy and has held up for at least 3 years use with no sign of wear and tear.

E. Just saw you want two shelves, not just one. If you click the link, it will show you similar kitchen islands made of different materials and different dimension/shelves.

Alternatively, buy a tiny nonstick pan just for a single fried egg. Its pretty convenient, tbh. I got a 5” nonstick off Amazon a few years ago for ~$7 that I use all the time for putting fried eggs on top of everything I eat

Honestly, unless you are cooking for a large party, it’s generally more work to clean it than just chop veggies yourself, imo. Still, it’s nice to have when you don’t feel like grating a whole block of cheese by hand, etc.
