>cleaning bad
This is why zoomer whiteys are afraid to wash their meats. They don’t clean.

>>13995656
who the hell uses green scrubbers though. they dull stainless and aluminum and can strip seasoning off cast iron. I've never had a use for them. Just use brushes, blue scrubbers, and barkeeper's friend where needed.

>>13995663
why do you need a sharp pot or pan

>>13995669
I've got stainless appliances too and they still have the original machining marks. the pans look fine on the outside, only the inside and bottoms get dulled.

>>13995651
Real men use their shirt

>>13995663
The don't use the scrubby side?
How blown would your mind be to know restaurants use steel wool to clean their pans?
Christ, millennials are dumb. I don't say zoomer, because even they aren't that autistic.

Even worse.

>>13995651
So how to clean dishes without a sponge? Just rub with soap and hand?

>>13996209
I've worked in a restaurant and had to scrape fryers and charbroilers and use steel wool and boiling water on shit to clean it off. none of it was nice stainless like I own.

>>13996290
The restaurant you worked at didn't have copper or stainless steel pans? What kind of deserted shithole was this?

>>13996213
Uuuufggjjjjhhhhhhhh fuck this

>>13996303
they had basic stainless shit that was all beaten up and dull all over yeah. it wasn't nice tri-ply stuff. I don't have to use green scrubbers because I clean my shit more often than food service does so there isn't any buildup to clean.

>>13996224
Dish brush.

>>13995651
I use these. so what

>>13996224
I go to home depot and buy a grout brush because the stiff bristles work well

>>13996333
Again, what shithole were you at where pans weren't cleaned immediately after use?

>>13995651
wat kind sandwich is this?

>>13996350
I don't use metal scrubbers at home and my pans are shiny. they beat the shit out them in commercial kitchens because who cares. figure it out dipshit

>>13996343
>using a toilet brush to clean dishes

Also 2% milk, lowfat yogurt, and skim milk.

>>13996476
that seems more racist than the land o lakes girl

Bought at a Tupperware party in 1985 and still in use (minus most of the lids of course). I swear to you my parents still have a few of these lingering around the kitchen.

>>13996478
He's just a black guy being a chef. How's that racist?

these fucking things are absolutely boomer

>>13996507
glass baking pans are great though

>>13995669

Any casserole. Bonus for the glass dish.

I'll still eat the shit outta some broccoli cheese casserole on Thanksgiving though.

>>13996568
no they're all like mirrors

>>13995651
I use the one with the green gritty side on both sides, I've never used the soft spongy side

>>13995651

>>13996523
sure, but that shit-brown color is boomer prime

>>13995663
My roommates use a brush instead of a sponge. The plates they wash still have crud on them. I regret living with them.

>>13996377
Post your diaper lookin' pans, faggot.

>>13996490
>>13996478
God, I wish you faggots would get nuked off the face of the earth. That shit isn't even racist.

>>13996213
these things are idiotic.

>>13995663

You must have a shit seasoning if a scrubber strips it. I use all cast iron and stainless steel and exclusively clean with steel wool. I never press that hard but it has never done damage.

>>13996755
press hard and watch how easily the seasoning comes off. plastic scouring pads and brushes work fine. I also use plastic card scrapers. you don't need to use steel wool to wash it and you definitely don't need a green pad with titanium and aluminum oxide in it.

>>13996482
Kool-Aid tastes best out of these cups and pitchers.

My boomer in-laws have the whole set

>>13996655
its called cheaper glass. no one wanted it to be that color on purpose.

>>13997025
>he doesn't know

>>13996507
those things are dope wish I had a set

boomer here. this was the totally necessary item for everyone who read Sunset Magazine in california and had dinner parties in the 70s. rustic, charming, earthy, great for onion soup, salmon souffles, gaspacho.

>>13997218

Might be a regional thing, but if you drank tea, then there definitely would have been a Brown Betty in the house. We had both a 2-cup and a 4-cup.

>>13997785
This looks comfy af, did not have one on the house, which region?

>>13996684
Iktf

>>13997792
Pretty much anywhere with old English blood. I'm pretty certain my mom would call literally any brown teapot she bought at Sears an "authentic Brown Betty" just to make it sound fancy.

>>13997785
That's absolutely a regional thing. Hell, in the early days of the Industrial Revolution you could only get those in one specific town.

>>13996695
Please don't talk about my mom here, anon

>>13998264
Christ my dad does this... Any time I go home to visit and want to cook breakfast I pull out a pan and EVERY fucking one is scratched up. I literally bought one and hide it in my room if I want to cook when I'm home. My mom just gave up on trying to preserve anything non-stick.

Also, he burns everything. Cooks anything and everything on the highest setting on the stove top and microwaves shit until stuff explodes everywhere. Wildly successful and intelligent guy, but Christ he is one colossal fucking idiot in the kitchen. Gotta love the dude...

>>13996482
We had these, the brown ones got brittle and flaked.

Do you not wash your dishes? Or are you just a lazy american that drops your dishes in an automated dish washer which uses 3 times the water and electricity you would normally use to wash dishes?

It’s entertaining watching boomers live rent free in these faggots’ heads

>>14000031
They think water alone is enough to sanitize raw meat.

As GenX I dislike both boomers and millenials, but I'd rather eat a boomer's cooking hands down. At least they don't need a subscription service with recipe cards to teach them how to shop.

biggest boomer indicator is only eating food inside of his comfort zone

>>13996213
lol I didn't even know that these were a thing until my sophomore year of college (2011/12 year) when I moved in with a few people and they came back from the Dollar Store with these. Honestly I didn't mind them, but I don't bother with them.

>>14000570
name a better product

>>14000593
normal sponges

>>13996608
>I've never used the soft spongy side
Don't you use the sponge side for wiping down the work bench?

>>14000600
those wear out as fast as those pads that come with those dohickeys. Mine never leak and they last just as long as sponges and I never have to add soap, it spurts out right from the pad.

>>14000617
They don't, they're like 3x the size and you can use both sides

>>14000633
no, only one side gets any use, and thats the green one. its easier and cheaper to wipe shit down with a cloth after you scrub if you are gonna use a sponge that way. And be real, 3X? I'll give you double, no more.

>>14000073
>infrawave oven
isn't that literally just a microwave

>>14000658
If you use both sides like a normal person its definitely more than 3x
if you use one side like a retard its definitely at least 3x

>>13996213
I like how this thread is to trash on boomers and boomers be trashing on this.

>>14000700
The scrub part wears out at the same rate

>>14000740
But its bigger
so takes longer to wear out
You can also choose how much washing up liquid to use instead of constantly having a stream coming out
if these things were the best things to use, more people would use them than regular sponges

>>14000754
I'll concede on a few points you have there, but with that scrub brush thing I dont have to fill my sing up with water and I can just let hot water run over whatever I'm washing. In the long run it saves on my water bill.

>>14000690
yes its literally a microwave that doesnt spin

Manage these fucking little nuttarinos bitch.

>>14000987
terrifying shit like that is the real reason boomers probably didn't learn how to cook. I'd probably want McDicks all day too If I had to watch my mother stick her hand in that thing for the sake of feeding us.

>>14001436
Anyone who doesn't like these needs to be publicly shamed.

>>14001216
>>14000987
It actually has a safety mechanism. If the door isn't closed on the intake the clutch is engaged and the blades won't spin. This was the original design from the 30s before they changed to the cylindrical slicer/grater like the Presto Salad Shooter had. I just wish I had all the attachments. I have the milkshake maker that I need to rebuild(the gear is like Bakelite or some shit). And of course the meat grinder. My favorite is the can opener though. For some reason they are rare as fuck.

My boyfriend is smart and kind but I have to tell him not to stack (his mom bought us a set for our place) the non stick and three times a week. We had one nylon spoon but everything else is silicone. Fucking guy managed to scratch the shit out a pan because he didn't realize using a metal table spoon (aka you eat with it) could cause damage to it.
"Well how else am I supposed to get the stuff out of the pot"
What a fucking dipshit. I love him but what the fuck.

Your hand should suffice for your home kitchen. Sponges are disposable wastes of money and just get mildewy and gross after a few uses, you can wash your hands more thoroughly and tell more easily if something is still soapy or greasy

>>14000093
Aw man don't say that. I love that sauce

>>13996213

Ay fuck y’all these things are based

"Light" versions of things that have no business being light, like mayo, salad dressing, whipped cream, yogurt

In fact, no food should be light. Lower your portion sizes and keep eat a balanced diet if you want to eat healthy

>>13996213
I never thought about buying the heads online. all the packs in the store are the retarded new design with a big hole in the middle of the sponge that "Now suds!"
It suds before you big fucking bitch idiot, now unless I sit it up. a certain way when im not using it, soap just leaks out of the fucking hole in the sponge. I hate it, its such a trivial thing but it pisses me off every day.

>>14002241

Don't forgot the "no sugar" crap.

>>14000415
Do you eat raw meat after washing it? What the fuck is the point?

>>13996213
I love these things. I have a fucking complex about getting shit on my hands so these are a godsend. Also my kitchen sink only has one basin, so i cant have a wash and rinse station, it sucks complete ass.

>>13996213
The new ones have a small (1-1.5mm) needlelike hole in the center to prevent from constant soap distribution. I love these badboys. If you have to wash a lot of dishes, you can relegate 1 hand to being soaked constantly while the other retains most functionality. Fuck you guys

>>13998906

>>14000690

>>14000473
I've found more gen x and boomers buy these where I live than millennial's not to say that millennial's don't buy them. I feel it's because they really cant cook and need individual detailed step by step instructions to cook. Also helps that many of them started buying them because one of their children tried it and stopped subscribing but their parents started it and then told all their friends and they all brought it because OMG IT'S SO CONVENIENT I DON'T NEED TO THINK WHEN I'M COOKING NOW AND THEY TAKE IT RIGHT TO MY DOOR. General laziness makes older people get them especially due to many here despite living semi active lives but don't really like to go out for shopping.

>>14000473
Boomers absolutely had recipe cards and shopping lists, ask your mother.

>>13996482

>>13996507
The smallish-medium sized pot with the spigot on the side is one of the best pots I've used to make small soups and ramens in. When I was finally moving out to my own apartment with my fiance, a box I filled opened from the bottom and out went that pot of mine and a bunch of other glasswares I had. My mom gave me most of that shit, including the pot. I wish I could find a set like that. :c

I got this exact canister sitting around. The shit I'm sent.

My last rental had a glass cooktop that looked ruined and had rings where pans went and I managed to clean it back down to the glass with a paper towel and barkeeper's friend. You use it just like baking soda, just make a paste and rub. It's acidic instead of basic so it is supposed to work better on rust and stainless.

>>14005051
also baking soda and vinegar are chemicals, so you don't "avoid chemical cleaners", you rely on them

Things never change

Unless you boil it the sponge after use its full of gross shit that just chills out and grows between uses.

>>14005175
Will you ever realize that, this is a site of autists sperging out their garbage opinions just like what you are doing, so it's nothing about tripfags or not tripfags, namefags or not namefags. Everything has never "changed" is all because of you and your autism.

>>14005217
Humans forget their foolishness and repeat their mistakes.

If humans do not redeem themselves willingly, they will not change.

I get your point, but I’m not worried about inhaling white vinegar fumes. This seems like a decent product for the occasional deep clean though, I’ll pick some up and see how I like it.

>>14004674
Shit, that brings back some memories.

>>14001458
I've always seen those (specifically the copper ones) hanging up on kitchen walls with dust collecting on them. I've never actually seen one being used for its intended purpose. This on the other hand...

>>14005691
my mom made some great tasting cakes in one of these. angel food was my favorite.

Also does anyone else's boomer parents become super picky eaters all of a sudden? I can hardly cook anything anymore because of reasons like 'canned tomatoes give me acid reflux' or anything else I want to cook that's actually vibrant, hearty and flavourful.

Now they just eat bland stir fried vegetables and fish every night.

My mom is kind of like this. She's like NEET-tier sometimes with what she'll eat. She also claims that the ozone in bottled water gives her heartburn.

Strangely, I use green scrubbie pads when doing tile...
Never been much for cellulose sponges, but I so like the dollar tree 6pk of foam/green scrubbie combo.

Oxalic Acid ftw. It's great stuff, but you may want to wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.
Works well on grout too, but not as good as muriatic acid.
t. do a LOT of tilework

>>13995651
FU I use those. They are the best for washing dishes. Every other kind of sponge sucks. Just don’t use the green side of scotch-brites on teflon I guess. It works well because it scratches surfaces.

I've got a couple of these. One is the Caramel Corn'r which makes regular popcorn and caramel corn. The other, the rocket ship looking one is a Presto iirc. Both make great popcorn. Got both NIB unused from my local thrift for a couple bucks.

>>14006635
It's fun how quickly everyone forgot about those things once microwave popcorn became a (terrible) thing. I agree with you that they made good popcorn. I showed my wife how to just make it on a stove (she only had the machines like yours) and ever since we've never had any microwave shit-corn in the house. Thank God.

Check their drugs. If they have high blood pressure I know a few of them cause acid reflux.

>>14006724
Microwave popcorn is an abomination. My Boomer mom showed me how to make popcorn when I was like 5. Place a couple kernels in the oil then wait for them to pop. Then remove from heat and add the rest of the corn and let it set for a minute. Then return to the pot to the burner and agitate until the popping slows to one pop every few seconds. I tend to use a large pot rather than the machines because I can make a double batch and use a full stick of butter. What we don't eat during the movie she takes to work for a snack during the week.

She used to eat microwave swill, but now she rags me all the time to make a batch. You just can't beat real buttered popcorn.

>>14006917
My mom is on blood pressure meds; she actually told me that she had acid reflux for the first time last night (she had perogies with sour cream, and bacon for dinner).

>>13995651
This, as well as Hamburger Helper.

>>14006927
I'm a millenial and I love Hamburger Helper. I always have a few boxes of that and Tuna Helper in the pantry.

this is good stuff

>>13996561

you're welcome

>>14007239
I had some of those, they had a tendency to over heat and hold on to that heat for a long time. fine for a sauce pan but not for a frying pan.

>>14003647
it's sugar syrup you fucking retard

Bought one of these a while back for the nostalgia. It wasn't terrible.

>>14007433
everyone's mom still has this cookbook. my mom gives her various back-editions as wedding/bridalparty gifts to the nieces. big wheel keep on turning.

>>14007446
Some patterns are ridicules. I have seen cartain casseroles go for over $1k at auction. But the average set of bowls or fridgies really isn't too bad when you consider how much Chinese garbage will run you at Walmart.

Thrift stores can be good for finding Mid Century Modern stuff, but you have to really stalk them nowadays because there are droves of people who flip them online. I've gotten about half my collection at thrift stores and the rest off the internet. Garage sales are good too, and the flea market. Boomers are dying off so it's a pretty good time to pick this stuff up. What I really want is an old Frigidaire refrigerator and stove.

Casseroles are fucking god awful slop, fuck. I miss my grandparents but I'm so happy I don't have to eat that shit ever again.

It had an obvious decline when the company was bought out. My dad quit buying after that even though I thought it still tasted pretty good

I put a vitage elongated dish in my toaster oven to cook some artichokes the other night and it literally cracked at 400 degrees. I'll post pics if you don't believe me

I haven't noticed. The medium is still the best jarred Pico de Gallo on the market. It's also the Waffle House branded house salsa.

>I put a vitage elongated dish in my toaster oven to cook some artichokes the other night and it literally cracked at 400 degrees.
You're a fucking moron. It is commonly known, as the company even stated you don't use them in a toaster oven. Not any glass bakeware. They are oven and microwave safe, you don't put them in a toaster. You're also the same species of goon that destroys them in the dishwasher.

Also, don't use them on the stovetop. Which is essentially what you did by placing it an inch away from 2 heating elements. Stick to your microwave dinners you fucking buffoon, you'll probably choke to death on your next artichoke.

>>14000473
As a gen X too it's a tough call. Raised on awful, awful food but at the same time I want to gouge out the Juicero guy's eyes with my thumbs and chain him up with only dog food to eat.

I've never seen one of those IRL. Disgusting.
