WFMW: grocery sack as giant disposable glove

I’m a mom and a cook. This means I deal with lots of messes. I don’t like to touch some of the things I need to touch (examples to follow). This is why the plastic grocery bag works for me. Both of my hands fit inside and can work in tandem to grasp whatever it is I’d rather not touch. It is then easy to reverse the bag and to use it to throw away the item(s) without touching it.

Examples: The best use for this idea is in the tub when your two year old has an accident and the result is, ahem, not going to go down the drain. But there are lots of less extreme situations, where hand protection and a built in garbage receptacle are really nice to have. Raw chicken skins, piles of refuse you don’t trust your garbage disposal with, children’s food or paint covered messes, etc.

    Amen!! This is so true. I’ve done this. Great reminder, though.

    Not a bad idea. When I’m cooking and working with meat, I’m constantly washing my hands. It’s annoying! :)

    Thanks for sharing!

    I’ve done this with mouse traps – the glue kinds – with dead mouse attached. Ewwwww, it was so gross but the bag helped.

    Now, why didn’t I think of that? My kids are 10 and 12 now…hoping that the tub incident no longer happens….but I remember the days when it did. :-) But the other uses are a good idea too….thanks for sharing!
