Sometimes you need more than one teaspoon during a meal? Say if you have soup and tea and hate to eat soup with the tablespoon.

I did this for a few years and it was amazing.

as a single dad living with one teenager kid, the two plate strategy was a total game changer.

We’re a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.

That struggle is real and universal! We found utensils buried in our back yard, at a friend’s house… it’s nuts!

He’s 19 years old, and you have to ask him to bring his dirty dishes out from his room because he is leaving them all in there?

Dude I’m 38 soon and I have to bring dishes in from the WFH office once in a while. Watching some YouTube during lunch or whatever. Then back to working. Then family comes home and it’s up out of the chair to start dinner and whatnot, sometimes the dishes get forgotten and left behind.

Yeah, I can understand that. That’s normal. But a 19 year old eating alone in their room so much, and collecting all of the dishes in the household, so the family has none and has to actively seek them out and ask for them is what’s odd to me.

He dishwashes daily? How inefficient.

Unless they have enough plates and utensils and are willing to risk a mold problem to save up plates with gunks of food over the course of a week to run the dishwasher at good efficiency, it’s far simpler, cheaper, and more hygienic to just wash them by hand.

In that amount, yes. But usually, dishwasher is more efficient and hygienic

In hindsight I should have used “or” instead of “and”.

But of course! I really miss having a dishwasher since I flew back home from the US. I know that they absolutely do a better job at cleaning than humans can, and loading it up properly and keeping it organized is such dopamine hit for my OCD brain.

If you live alone, though, I’d advise against using it, or at least get a way smaller dishwasher.

I’ve got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can’t pile up if they don’t exist.

I have a giant stack of plates. So they can go into the dish washer after I use them. Same thing with boxer shorts and the laundry.

I was given so much stuff when I bought my house. My one aunt had a shopping addiction and just gave me all of the kitchen shit. I live alon and my house is too small and laid out too weird for me to comfortably have guests. Idk what to do with everything, so it just stays in a cabinet. I don’t want to throw it out because it’s nice, but I have no use for it

If you can’t sell it you might be able to donate it to a thrift store.
