Kitchen

Generally, you are not required to be in the industry. We have a great one near us and we get all kinds of things from barware to big spoons, storage containers, whisks, cutting boards, chef knives, even small appliances. My wife's favorite is sheet pans for baking. All of which are designed to survive in an industrial kitchen. Therefore they will last close to indefinitely in a personal kitchen.

I’m 25, and I’ve been doing most of my own cooking for over a decade now. I’ve never seriously hurt myself in the kitchen, but I’ve had little cuts and burns like anyone else. Through all that time, I’ve hurt myself with a cheese grater at least once a year, and twice I’ve taken noticeable chunks out of my fingers.

There has to be something I can do to stop grating bits of my hands into the food. Help!

As someone who loves spicy foods are there no fancy spicy dishes? I’ve noticed in the show there’s hardly ever any heat in the dishes, is that common for fancy restaurants?

Edit: thank you guys so much for all of the informative answers/Perspectives you’ve given. I am fully aware that everything I watch on TV isn’t all of reality however, I am uneducated about “expensive” food and I appreciate most of you coming at this with a wholesome approach rather than being disrespectful/uppity for my curiosity. (:

Long into short, I'm in the military and we are moving tomorrow. The Army fronts the cost to have movers come pack and move all of our stuff. Our house at our next duty station isn't ready yet so everything has to go into storage for a few weeks and we cant pack any food, even dry food.I was cleaning out the pantry and had a large bag of chia seeds which I sat next to the sink. My 4 year old, having watched me dump things into the garbage disposal for the last 30 mins, thought he would be helpful and dumped the bag of seeds into the drain. Me not knowing better, proceeded to try to wash them down. What I didn't know is that a large quantity of chia seeds, when mixed with water, will turn into what most closely resembles molding clay. I thought I could use a plunger to clear the pipes. I was wrong. By the time I resorted to tearing into the pipes, the chia seeds started to set. Needless to say I just spent the last 3 hours cleaning the pipes of my kitchen sink and garbage disposal of chia seeds.

TLDR: Chia seeds do not belong in your sink

EDIT: I think I might need a plumber because my sink still wont drain.

EDIT#2: Because it has come up some many times; yes we donated MOST of the food in our pantry. Perishables were given away to other families on post. Anything that was unopen was donated. Came close to 100lbs. Anything that was expired or opened was gotten rid of.

EDIT#3: Plumber came out and took care of most of it. The main clog was in the bottom of the disposal and none of it actually got past the trap. He took the disposal apart to clean it and ran a drill brush down through the pipes. Luckily he's a buddy and it only cost me a 30 pack.

Edit: it appears this phenomenon is overwhelmingly confirmed in kitchens around the US and beyond. It is also affectionately called the “Junk Drawer” or “Utility Drawer” and can alternatively take the form of a cabinet or bin.

Nope. That walk though the house, past the kids fighting about the crayon on the wrong side of the box, the wife wanting to know when I'm logging off tonight, the teenager that won't look up is quite alright. Just me and the dog headed to the spare room to log on and start the day with no stress.

I see confliciting opinions about this very often. Some say Abs start in the kitchen while other people argue “Well I know a trainer and they say you can eat like crap and be toned!!!”

So, I kind of want to see what people here have to say since I know nothing about that stuff
