Do you wash your bowl right after eating cereal?

[XanBcoo]

Soak, but don't wash.

I evidently doesn't count as washing it, since I usually chuck it into the sink and fill it up with water too, leaving it there for the rest of the day, until I eventually put it into the dishwasher. It prevents the cereal remnants from crusting up on the bowl. Imagine if your roommates didn't even fill them with water.

Have you ever tried to pry off Cream of Wheat or Mini-wheats after they've been stuck in the bowl for a couple of hours?

It's breakfast. Dishes are meant to be done in the evening.

Totally agree, this is exactly what I do. With any dishes/bowels/silverware, I just run water over them and put them in the sink, to prevent crusting. Then, if I feel like using them later (and don't want to put them in the dish washer) I can easily clean them.

Why's it such a problem BOC? Do you have to deal with the dishes when you're at home and they're not, or are you just generally curious?

i thought this thread was going to be about types of cereal...

I remember about 2 years ago there actually was a thread about different types of cereal. Great stuff.

It's a problem because we all share the same dishes. Sometimes they "forget" to wash them after leaving them in the sink overnight and whoever needs a bowl has it wash it themselves. It's fine and all if you're living alone or something, but when you're sharing kitchenware with 5 other people, it really helps if you wash your stuff right away.

Here at home, as is common in many families in my country, we have a maid. So, eh, I pretty much don't do anything.

When I was living with roommates and with my Japanese family, though, I usually washed everything I could and didn't take much work. With the Japanese it was out of pure goodwill, I just wanted to help.

With my roommates, it was because we shared stuff - just like BoC, they wouldn't really do their share, and truthfully I'd rather do a little work after I'm done eating instead of having to wash when I'd rather just eat.

'Sides, I wouldn't want that crazy Russian girl anywhere near my mugs. She was just.... weird. Oh, and Miss French-Accented-English once bought me dinner as thanks for doing her dishes, so it was cool.

Rinse everything I use and then stick it in the dishwasher. Dishwasher runs everyday. As I live with my family, it gets other dishes to wash apart from mine.

I rarely eat cereals. When I do, it depends if I have time or not. If I don't, I just leave it in the sink. If I do, I just rinse it. But, most of the time, I don't have time.

i eat cereal and put it in the sink or wash it when i am in the mood

[UChessmaster]

1) ask my mom to bring me the cereal in my room

2) eat it

3) leave it there until she comes and takes it

This is the problem. How long does it take to wash a cereal bowl? 10 seconds? 15 seconds?

To wash a cereal bowl would take about 15 seconds just to rinse it properly. But, if I start washing my bowl, I would need to wash my brother and my mom's dish too. Then that would take like a minute when I am in the rush to catch my bus. So it would all depend at what time I would wake up...
