What is your worst job in the kitchen?
I usually don’t mind being in the kitchen but I can’t take cleaning chickens!!!
I dont mind cleaning chickens because I’m pretty fanatical about feathers and such. I need a very clean kitchen when I cook so I am constantly washing utensils and pots, that is my worst part. Usually, if I do the cooking my mother doesnt mind doing the washing 🙂
grating potatoes for potato kugel.
(I dont have a food processor- I do it by hand)
washing dishes and pots after I cook is for sure the hardest thing for me. I dont mind cooking and using every utensil I own, but when it comes to washing up after myself……….
UMM, just buy chicken cutlets! Just rinse and you’re done! I love to cook and clean so I’m a happy camper in the kitchen. Don’t love taking out the trash but that’s what hubby is for 😉
I don’t have any real problem with any aspect of kitchen work. I love to cook. Cleaning up is a bit of a pain, but not a big deal.
If I had to pick one thing I don’t like doing, it’s emptying the dish rack after the dishes have dried.

Imaofthree: I’m pretty OTT when it comes to chicken fat, i even clean my cutlets!!
Same here.
As per the question: re-orginizing/cleaning out the pantry/freezer/fridge when we run out of room.
umm
I’m obsessed with thinning cutlets. Nothing bothers me more (when it comes to food) than an unevenly cooked chicken breast.
kol hakovod to you wolf. that’s terrific you help so much.
cleaning the cholent pot

I try.
Actually, I did *all* the cooking for this past Shabbos (Eeees was *very* tied up this past week), including baking challah for the first time. No one in my family has come down with food poisoning yet, so I suppose the food was okay. 🙂
As a side bonus, I actually got to be mafrish challah for the first time in my life. I had never performed that mitzvah before.

cleaning the cholent pot
Soak it overnight & clean it the next morning, or use a bag.
cleaning the cholent pot
Use some water and a crock pot liner. It makes it *much* easier to clean.
The Wolf
thanks for the advice
wolf what do you mean use some water? between the pot and the liner?
crock pot liner
Yea, that’s what the bag is called 🙂
Thanks.
i believe my wife would rather not use a liner, though we do sometimes
something about poisonous plastic residues leaching into the food.
personally i say if you cant taste it, it doesnt exist.
wolf what do you mean use some water? between the pot and the liner?
Exactly. Put some water in the pot first. Then put the liner in and fill it up with whatever you want in your cholent.
The downside is that you still have to clean out the serving dish… 🙂

YOU??? A physician says this???!! I’m utterly shocked!
The Wolf (who is now off to consume some tasteless carbon monoxide, which, apparently, does not exist 🙂 )
that rule only applies to food.
it is a well established though little known medical principle

What about iocane powder? It’s odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.
Just ask Vizzini. 🙂

Worst job is doing the onions. For those hand grating kugel.. Worst part is the onions.. tears, stinging eyes.. And your hands stink for ages too!:)
For the cholent pot – put a little bit of dishwashing liquid in and fill it with water. Bring the pot to a boil, then turn it off and let it cool. It will clean up in a couple of minutes. If anything is burnt onto the pot, boil the water with some cream of tartar. That will loosen all of the burnt on residue.
Cleanup. Definitely.
kapusta- anytime you’d like to explain that comment you made to me in the “shabbos food” thread, I’m listening.
you’re going back here… um, maybe someone made a squeak-ish sort of comment… maybe, perhaps…?
cleaning up after!!!!!!
If you are lucky enough to wear contacts than your eyes wont tear when you peel onions.
Also we use parchment paper in the crock pot and it usually does a good job of not leaving any residue behind.
Worst job…hmmm anything where the kitchen isn’t clean or if its crowded…I can’t function.
soggy food in the sink!!!!!! Gag!!!!!!!!!
Hardest work is trying to get beer from the fridge while wife is cooking and getting in the way.
that IS very hard work popa_bar !!
Not I: Put on dishwashing liquid on your hands, rub all over the stainless steel tap/faucet and wash with warm water and the smells of garlic, onions, fish etc. will disappear. You pay money for the stainless steel gadget that does the same thing.
Have a wonderful Shabbos everyone!
ATTENTION:
This really works!
When peeling/cutting onions, put your cutting board on top of the FRONT gas on top of your stove. Then, turn on the BACK burner. Cut your onions on top of your cutting board. The fire pulls the stinging away to the back. Try it. Its very cool! (Saw this idea from “Clueless In The Kitchen”)
Popa: rofl
I HATE cleaning chickens – so now I buy them from a place that delivers them already clean. really clean. fathers all burnt off.
So now, what’s left is: washing up after myself (I need a little elf to follow me around the kitchen… anyone want a job?); cleaning out the sink/drains (ewwww); cleaning fresh mushrooms (just thinkin’ about that cuz I did it today…).
@Wolf: I was waiting to hear how that Shabbat went. Glad to hear all are healthy! :o)
