I Dont Always Wash Dishes, But When I Do..............

I use this dish pan:

Collapsible Dish Pan

Collapsible Dish Pan, Collapsed

I was shopping at Camping World with my friend, Andrea, when she picked up one of these.  They are also available on Amazon

For some reason, I had gotten locked in to using the standard hospital wash pan in the small side of the sink for dish washing.  This collapsing model exactly fits the large side (11" X 13 1/2", X 4 1/2" deep) of my double sink, (2002 Lazy Daze Midbath) and, guess what, the dish drainer exactly fits the small side.  I like to use a dishpan for a number of reasons.  First, you can save the dishwater and use it to flush the toilet using the water twice.  If you have much residue from dish washing, it doesn't go down the drain or clog the sink strainer, you can pour it down the toilet.  You also keep from beating up your sink and lastly, it can used outside, or for other washing projects.

Since one good idea sometimes leads to another, I found this collapsible bowl and jar funnel.

This is a great 3 quart bowl that is just right for popcorn.  This bowl and funnel are on the same page at Amazon as the dishpan.

They fold flat for storage also.



 Here is how I store them.  Underside of this swing up cabinet door is a perfect place to store a flattened bowl.
