Do You Ever Do THIS?

[grinningghost]

Try washing a pan and it's SOOOOOO hard to get clean, you just throw it out?

I just did. I call it "throwing in the pan".

If it was up to me we would only use paper plates!! I hate doing the dishes

Me too. And everything would come in a takeout box - eat 'n toss.

 

[Briarmom]

I would NEVER do that...nor would I throw away sippy cups that have been 'in hiding.'

I've done that!!! Once, when DD11 was a newborn, I thought I was sterilizing the bottle nipples (she was my first...I did not sterilize anything with my 2nd ) in boiling water in a pot on the stove...we'll, I started to smell a really BAD smell. It turned out, I'd thrown all the bottle nipples into a very hot pot that did not have ANY water in it...just a very hot, empty pot. All nipples melted onto the pot.

There was no saving the pot.

I also threw out a pot once after DH made popcorn on the stove. I hate it when he makes it that way. He won't eat the microwaveable popcorn!

Aaahhhh yes... the old "sippy cup behind the couch" trick. Been there. Works for baby bottles too.

So funny!!!

I can't even count the number of sippy cups that were found 'in hiding' -- DH couldn't understand why I wouldn't save them until I asked him to wash one... never gave me a bad time about it again.

And yes - I am guilty of throwning in the pan --

Holy crap, yes. I have been known to throw out deep fat fryers because they are so nasty I just don't feel like dealing with it I have friends that pride themselves on all their matching cookware/dishware. Me? Couldn't care less. The disposible factor is what makes it attactive to me It is just like the laundry around here, things are either permanently pressed or permanently wrinkled.

I wish I owned stock in a sippy cup company.

I've done it. However, I usually do that with silverware that has stuff crusted to it (like egg yolk).

 

[trappednabox]

one time I went to the mall and left a pan on the stove, when I came home the house was full of white smoke and there was nothing left to do but throw out the pan!! I can laugh now, But it was soooooo scary coming home to a smokey house

Which is why those dollar store plates and cups are ever so attractive to me.

oh yeah...sippy cups were the worst.

Plastic containers are often thrown out around here when they have something questionable inside.

You said it! I have fallen in love with those Ziploc plastic containers - if it looks gross, toss it, it was disposable anyway.

LOVE those disposable containers!

I have to admit to throwing away a pretty fair amount of Tupperware when I just couldn't deal with the science experiments growing inside. My thrifty Mom and MIL would if they knew!


I don't feel nearly as guilty now that I've found the cheap stuff.

 

[Aimeedyan]

You wouldn't believe how many cookie sheets I've tossed. If something gets on it and doesn't come off easily, it gets trashed. If I find some mystery leftovers in the fridge, it's tossed. Disposable gladware or not - I'm not opening it!

 

[barkley]

i love the disposable glad containers that can be used in the oven (great for potlucks-i can just toss them). many an encrusted pan has been tossed. i did learn by accident though about a way to get the toughest stuff to slide off a pan. i happened to be putting some pans in the sink for what i thought would be a loooooooooooooooong soak, for some reason i spaced and grabbed the spray bottle of orange cleaner that is made for counter tops and tile and poured some in the pans. about an hour later i bumped into one of the casserol dishes while cleaning around the sink-THE ENTIRE CRUST SLIPPED OFF! in fact the baked on stuff from many years wiped off as well. i now keep that bottle of cleaner right next to the dish soap and spray in on anything that needs to soak. truly amazing.

 

[Aidensmom]

Ok, I admit, I am one of those weirdos with the nice cookware that I paid too much money for to throw away. But I don't scrub them, I make DH do it.

I do throw away the sippy cups that have been in hiding though!

 

[oogieboogie]

I've thrown out pans, pots, cookie sheets, containers, you name it. Heck... I've thrown out a rice cooker because it was gunky!

I love those disposable containers. The people who invented them are my gods! If it looks suspect... in the trash. It's warped... in the trash.

I've thrown out spoons, forks, plates, cups. Don't get me started on sippy cups, baby bottles. Which is why anytime we go out to eat, I take home those plastic kid cups. Those cups are what the kids use and if they start to look gunky, they're tossed.

Count me in as someone who was so excited when they came out with storage containers that are supposed to be disposible! I'd been throwing them out for years. The worse ones are the ones I send to work with DH for his lunch, and then he forgets to bring them home for a few weeks. I wish there were disposible cups for adults. He takes a smoothie to work each morning in a Rubbermade cup with a lid, and I've had to toss a few of those.

I also toss cookie sheets and muffin tins when things are stuck to them. I purposely buy the cheap ones so that I won't feel so bad about throwing them away. I have a Pampered Chef muffin stone that needs to be tossed, but I just can't make myself do it since I know what I paid for it. I won't cook anything in it, so it's just taking up space.

Pans aren't as bad. If you boil some water with a lot of baking soda in it, the stuck-on stuff just floats up to the top.
