I got sent a Bed Bath & Beyond gift card, so I wandered in there to get a new whatsis.

While looking around the kitchen area, I see a package with this in it.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51K9Qo2cAHL._SL500_AA280_.jpg

It is the Rachel Ray Garbage Bowl.

I swear, it said that right on the package.


$14.00 dollars.....American!


Abandon All Hope.

Apparantly, their market is people that think they need to buy a $14.00 plastic bowl to put their garbage in while cooking.

I do not have any spare bowls or containers around my house, so I throw all the miscellaneous choppings of flora and fauna right onto the floor.

Once I tried to put the garbage can next to me while cooking, but I turn and my knee hit it, and I had to walk totally around the can to open the refridgerator.

I mean, how lame is that?

I use something remarkably similar to the Garbage Bowl. Actually, I use an empty tin can, but the idea's the same.

We use a coffee can . . . we're pretty much up-scale from your humble tin can, Roger . . .

That bowl makes a mockery of the dispose-all.

I think it may be an "inspiration" from her 30 minute meals show. She usually has some sort of bowl to throw garbage in as she is prepping - this is explained to save time - you throw all the crap in the bowl as you prep rather than taking the extra steps from the prep area to the actual trash - saves you about 5 seconds. Then you just take one step and throw all the crap away at once.

Not that the bowl should be $14 bucks to throw garbage in or I put the trash near me. I don't have the same issue as Chai as I am more coordinated.

I throw scraps in my compost canister. It's not as pretty as the bowl, but it has a lid and handle so I can keep it covered until I carry it out to the compost pile. Compost is not garbage - it's future food for food.

We've got 3 cats.

We use all our plastic bags for cat poop.




So, like do you think I could use the Rachel Ray bowl for when I go outside to deadhead and weed the garden?

I could use it for cat poop, then we wouldn't be wasting all those plastic grocery bags.

Thought you would appreciate these comments from individuals who purchased this product (or there is one born...)

AMAZING!!! Everyone one MUST have one!!!!!!!
This product is amazing!!! I use it everyday and love it!! The bowl saves SOO much time that you didnt realize you were wasting!!! LOVE IT!!!!

I love it!
I have been having fun bragging that I got a Rachel Ray Garbage Bowl for Christmas (actually, I ordered it for myself). It was out of stock at the Food Network site, and eBay had it for much higher prices and/or on back-order. I even bragged to the kitchen store in our local outlet mall, which did not have it either, that I got one through Amazon.com.

I've tried to use other bowls, but this is the perfect size, balance, and look. I dump the contents into either my compost bucket which goes out to the garden composter or my worm bin (see "Worms Eat My Garbage"). It beats walking to the garbage can or compost bucket and dripping or spilling things on the floor.

For someone who likes kitchen gadgets, this is a great gift!

Funky and Oh-So-Convenient....
I really bought this for my niece and ended up having to buy 2. I'm a prolific and bone-lazy cook; when I'm done in the kitchen, I have every pot and pan, etc., in the sink. I don't like to drag the garbage out (I have a dog) to throw stuff in as I cook, and leaving a mixing bowl out on my sink to hold refuse looks like, well, it looks like a dirty mixing bowl. The garbage bowl, in the brick color, is a funky melamine that does not look like a mixing bowl. In fact, when the sun is shining (not much lately), the bowl actually glows. I can leave it out on the counter. I fill it up as I'm cooking and when I'm done, it's ONE TRIP to the garbage disposal or garbage. It's out of reach of my dog. I use this every single day - it's such a simple idea and it saves me so much time that I'm irritated I didn't think of it myself. No stains, and it's dishwasher-safe, although I normally just swipe it with a damp paper towel. I recommend this esoteric little must-have; after just a few weeks, I wouldn't part with it.
