If your favorite kitchen food-prep area isn’t conveniently located near a waste bin, cooking can be a chore…all that back and forth! You can follow those wise celebrity chefs who use a “garbage bowl,” but we have another solution…

Use a smallish plastic bag—the kind you would get from a drugstore or use in a bathroom waste basket—fold over the edges, and use that as your garbage bowl. (Double up if you want to ensure no leaks.) Chuck into it all your onion skins, chicken fat, carrot peels. When you’re finished with your food prep, tie the ends of your “garbage bowl” tightly to contain the odors, and voila! No bowl to clean, and your main garbage bin won’t reek of last night’s dinner.
