Cooking/Eating OTR

It is hard for me to understand how people eat from paper or plastic plates, drink from plastic cups and use plastic forks and spoons. It may be a Russian thing, but a good amount of pleasure from eating my meal comes from a porcelain plate, a glass pint and a silver fork. It does take some extra time to wash everything, but it is definitely worth it!

Where/how do you wash everything up?

Mostly in restrooms at rest areas and truck stops. I wipe plates with paper towels first to reduce mess in a sink. If there is no sink with water, I always have a big 3 gallon bottle of tap water to wash plates and silverware right by the truck.

Makes sense. Thanks!

I use Clorox wipes on everything.

My "appliances" are all nonstick, so they get hit with a wet paper towel first to get the majority of the gook off, then a dry one if necessary, then Clorox/Lysol wipes.

As for paper/plastic/utensils issue? Food is fuel. Treating it in any other manner caused me to get fat, so it doesn't matter what it is sitting on, any more than my truck cares wether the diesel pump has a splash collar or not.

And for me food is one of the most elevated and refined pleasures available to a human... treating it in any other way makes me sad :-)

Where/how do you wash everything up?

I take my dishes along with a washrag, dawn, and two hand towels into the shower room with me. Either use the shower spray or the sink. Sometimes ill just wash dishes at the truck but not often.

Andrey, well thats why you buy Chinette or Dixie Ultra. I don't care what surface its on however I don't use plastic cups or plastic silverware. I have actual metal forks, spoons and knives as a must have.

Breakfast this morning

On my 34, I use my Instapot to cook up batches of stews and rice to last a few days. I also have a toaster oven to toast sandwiches and pizza bread. I use my microwave to heat up frozen ravioli and pasta sauce and sometimes chicken tenders.

This question might get some amusing replies. I heard that Army surplus outlets sell MRE's. Do any of you carry any with you, in case of emergency, of course.
