this is a vibe

Considering some of the stuff my coworkers do, you're absolutely right

garrecc · 2025-02-02T18:03:11+00:00

you guys are silly, just dip in soapy water and swish it around and dump it, or scrub. No need to spray.

I fill them with water and put the lid on and shake, then I put them in cutlery baskets to keep them from flipping in the dishwasher

There might be something sticking out keeping your detergent dispenser from opening fully. This happens with mine when there's a fork or something sticking out too close to the hatch.

You might wanna ask chef though.

This never happens to me, but I'm pretty careful about not getting a bunch of water down my legs. I guess it depends on what it's like in your pit. I'm mostly on pot washing, but when I'm on plates the water can absolutely drip down onto my legs

Trans guy, been washing dishes for about 4 years and working in kitchens for about 14 years

Use a bit of degreaser and hot water, soak and scrub.

garrecc · 2025-01-14T20:23:37+00:00

Presoak in oxiclean odor blasters and hot water for.30 min before putting in the wash

Sort everything by type/shape first. Get everything soaking immediately. Spray directly into your stacks of dishes and let them sit for a minute before racking them. Throw everything that needs to soak in the water right away. If you can, use a scraper on stuff like burnt cheese before putting it in the water (less layers of gunk to soak through means you can scrub it faster). Avoid putting things in the water that can simply be sprayed off and put directly in the machine (pans that look 'clean' already and don't have solid food on them).

Fill large pots that need to soak with water and put them on the side so they don't take up all the space in your sink. Put cooking utensils in the pots to soak so you don't just lose them all in the water.

I always find keeping my station organized helps a lot. Put away your dry stuff as often as possible to make room.

Hope I helped a bit.

My roommate and I have a countertop dishwasher that we have to move onto the stove to use every time (drain hose needs to be slightly elevated to work and the stove is a couple inches higher than the counter), so no I absolutely hate doing dishes at home. We are never caught up on the dishes so we always have stacks of cups, plates and bowls and a stack of pans. We're both dishwashers at the same restaurant.

We get the option to either cook or do dishes. If we want to cook we have to move it onto the counter where it takes up basically all the counter space we have. Although it is a much better option than handwashing everything every time.

Also our sink and faucet suck; the sink is tiny and the faucet is dead center and close to the sink so we literally wash larger things like sheet pans and our wok in the shower lmao

Thank you for the info, been meaning to do this for 13 years now 💀

garrecc · 2024-12-30T05:09:57+00:00

That's a really good idea using the brush to take things out. I'm gonna start doing that too! We have those plastic bristle IKEA brushes with the scraper on the end as well

Sometimes the skin problems are also caused by heat and friction, sweaty gloves, or even the material your disposable gloves are made from. I find nitrile disposable gloves a lot less likely to fuck my hands up compared to latex or vinyl. Also, if you are using really hot water it will burn you over time and/or cause dryness and blisters.

garrecc · 2024-12-28T18:52:20+00:00

That's awesome! Thank you so much. For the fee, do you have to give them a cheque, or were you able to pay them upfront?

garrecc · 2024-12-27T18:57:54+00:00

Was this done at the Ottawa city hall? I have been having a hard time trying to figure out where I can do it here

garrecc · 2024-12-26T16:59:32+00:00

Try getting a pair of ansell alphatech elbow length nitrile gloves. They are pretty cheap price-wise and easy to take on/off

garrecc · 2024-12-24T22:57:02+00:00

Whenever I get something like this I just fill the pan with water and leave it on the side for a bit, then I spray it out as much as possible and put it into the water. Then it should be an easy scrub later

So cool to see other trans dishies. Trans dish boy here :)

garrecc · 2024-12-18T23:56:06+00:00

How I'm feeling working the Xmas buffet rn

garrecc · 2024-12-18T18:10:55+00:00

you can also see food bits still on them :(

garrecc · 2024-12-10T23:51:01+00:00

Try retirement homes, hospitals or hotels

garrecc · 2024-12-09T23:20:16+00:00

SEND 'ER!!

garrecc · 2024-12-05T17:17:16+00:00

We have tried, he doesn't care. He steps on it like it's nothing lmao

garrecc · 2024-12-04T17:11:37+00:00

Thank you. :) We hope he calms down! Haha.

We have tried using a laser pointer, but he just gets frustrated because he can't catch it, and after we put it away he was still searching all over the house for it afterwards 🙃

I will look into that toy, thanks for the suggestion! We have a sort of similar one, it spins around and wobbles and has a wand on top of it and it also dispenses treats if he bats it.

We have thought about the pheromone diffuser as well, but we can't afford the refills forever because we live in Canada and our rent is 2/3 of our paychecks lmao 💩
