if you have powder crumbs under your sink you might need to improve your technique.
This reminds me of how some of my house guests will accidentally splash water all over the bathroom counter and even the mirror when they wash up in the morning. I don’t say anything, to be polite, but they clearly lack technique lol.
This works for me:
0. store the dishwasher powder (box) under sink.
1. Open dishwasher door
2. grab box, place OVER the opened door.
3. dispense powder into cartridge in door (with spoon, tilting box, etc)
4. put spoon back in box OR fully tilt box back upright. “Crumbs” will drop onto the door, that’s OK.
5. move box back under sink.
Even if I was messy, I personally couldn’t make myself spend 5x on pods to avoid cleaning crumbs under the sink once a month. When i think of convenience i think of a dishwasher saving me hours every month. Not saving 10 seconds a month to wipe crumbs under the sink. :-)
We clearly all have different preferences and ideas of “convenience”. I respect that.
- johnfn 1y ago> if you have powder crumbs under your sink you might need to improve your technique. With a pod there is no technique to be improved. They just work, every single time.
- nixpulvis 1y agoExcept if you get even a drop of water in the pod storage bin and they fuse together and you have to carefully rip them apart.
- ruraljuror 1y agoI have a bad habit of not fully drying my hands when retrieving pods. The pods all clump together if they get wet. This is one of the many reasons I prefer powder.
- throwaway2037 1y ago"if they get wet". Ok, so don't get them wet. If not wet, did you ever consider using chopsticks to pick one out of the bag/container? That might work well.
- recursive 1y agoSounds like a technique improvement. But wait, I was just told there "was no technique to improve". I find it easier to just use the powder.
- lurking_swe 1y agoAnd I totally get the appeal of paying for “convenience”! But saving a few seconds a week? Very weak argument i’m afraid.
