Btw, where’s all this waste food coming from? When I cook, I cook what I am going to eat. There are no leftovers. The only waste is stuff like apple cores, coffee grounds, and the paper towels I wipe pans and dishes with before washing up.
The food waste is an entire cooked meal that I didn’t want to eat. Usually when this happened, the smell was bad from the outset, and also reminded me of my failure, which made me even less want to cook.
Nowadays since I’m a better cook, this happens less often, but I still end up buying food that spoils before I cook/eat it, or I cook too much, because while I’ve gotten decent at cooking, I’m still terrible at home economics.
I usually dump it in the kitchen trash can, then take the bag out, tie it off, and put it in the big trash can that’s kept outside. Best of both worlds.
Agreed, this is what I do when I need to get rid of food. Keeping it in the house gets smelly surprisingly fast so it’s worthwhile to move them to the outside trash can quickly (even if the trash can isn’t full).
