You set the contaminated items together to the left of the sink as you use them. You then load the dishwasher with whatever goes in there. Then you handwash the few remaining large contaminated items one-by-one, dry them, and put them away directly. Then you wipe/sanitize the counter. Those items already had to be on the counter for the cooking steps so their presence is not a new source of contamination. I find it difficult to scrub and wash large items in a double sink. You can't easily put water in an electric skillet, scrub out a dutch oven, etc. My mom also opens meat packages over the sink. I hate seeing bloody water and styrofoam in the sink. I'd rather open packages over the garbage can and place the meat on a cutting board directly. |
Interesting. My SS double sink is large enough for a stock pot on either sink. No problem at all. |
