I've just tried this ten minute method for one meal, cooked this evening, along with the milk jugs and cleaning the kitchen surfaces. I've had to have three changes of water (due to temperature and cleanliness) and have got it done (but not put away) in about twenty minutes. There is just a plate (containing a compost pile), a glass and a small plate (forgotten about), a pan & mixing bowl. I absolutely can't identify any slack in the routine (and having a belfast sink would sap even more heat than the plates do).
Well done to the speed washers, but frankly I think you are exagerating (or eating things that don't require much, if any, prep). |
Perhaps it is a case of being organised when you cook, and gettuing into a regular routine. Our kitchen ios incredibly small, I am almost willing to bet that is much smaller than anyone elses on here, so we have to be well organised.
On Christmas day, as well as cooking the meal, I also washed up, dried and 'put away' , for a family of six and a four course meal with glasses pot and pans etc, took me much less than half an hour on my own.
We have a belfast sink, but use a washing up bowl in it which does make the job much easier. |

Well what you do is this;
First, make sure the plates and dishes etc are scraped properly, this does help keep the water clean. Stack you bowl before putting the water in.I always put the cutlery at the bottom of the bowl, followed by plates, dishes etc. Squirt some washing up liquid in the bowl and some onto the sponge-scourer that you are going to use and let the water run hot before starting to fill bowl, as the water in filling the bowl, use it direct from the tap to clean thhenon-greasy stuff, glasses, cups saucers and a very quick scour rond with the spongything under the tap as you fill the bowl does this fine. Then its time for the dishes, plates etc, then the pots and pans and finally, half empty the bowl and do the cutlery. Simple and quick. |

If I was overly botherd about this I'd have to say I'd have to stop half way through to dry and clear the draining board as I couldn't accomodate the crockery glassware and cooking utensils and pans on the drainer at the same time. By which time the water would probably have cooled and not be much help with the pans, roasting dish etc. |
