Food Security Carnival Discussion Post.

[commodorified]

Solicit or offer ideas, cheer each other on, ask for or offer data or resources, team up and do a group-authored post or a mini-carnival cluster of posts, find a beta, be a beta ...

I would like to say: I am not at all worried about avoiding duplication, and suggest that nobody else be either.

If eight people do posts on How To Cook Eggs, they will all be different, they will all be right and useful, and each of them will be somebody's absolute most useful and favourite post of the whole carnival.

Carry on!

A soapy sink? What a concept! When wiping with a paper towel doesn't seem sufficient, I usually put a little water in the item and heat it to steaming in the microwave, bring it out for soaping, then the same again for rinsing, thinking how nice and sterilizing all this boiling water and steam is. Stovetop pots same procedure: if the vessel cooked on the hotplate, it heats its own wash water there too (and sometimes becomes the dishpan for forks and such).

But all this careful finicky fiddling takes time and brain power I don't always have, so I'd rather spend energy in advance, arranging to cook in disposables or at least with disposable liners.

That's a great idea. I use the microwave to deodorize plastic containers and disinfect dishcloths, I will try it for sticky glass pans, though. Heating pots and pans with water to clean them is my stand-by as well. Proteins are the dickens and if they got there by being hot, being hot will get them out. *g* Even with a sink, I usually use a bowl or pan instead—less water and it leaves the sink free.
