AgolfHiller, saving the world one Tupperware at a time.
gunterleeds
Wow this has literally changed my life! I mean, not by a lot, but my life has technically changed very, very slightly due to learning this.
iarba
OMG! glass containers, guys! It's 2017. Treat your self
MrPuttn
Thanks Agolf Hitler !

@Andonemorething and @armintamzarian when is the big day? Will you live together first? How many kids will you have? Cats or dogs or both?
Andonemorething
Both of course.
CavendishBandana
Thank you @AgolfHiller and @Entartika for the info
Moongobl1n
Thank you Agolfhiller. It's true, not all your ideas are bad.
somejabronie
Thanks Mrs. Agolf Hiller
iamjackscompletelackofcompassion
don't reheat tomato based sauces in tupperware. The sauce becomes chemically bonded with the plastic when the water boils off.
TK421isAFK
That's because the red-colored oils in the sauce dissolve into the plastic.
AutismTheMusical
That's helpful. I would always rinse the sauce, and it never worked.
ChupaChena
As a Mexican I need to know if this also works for salsa residue? Thanks in advance +1

Yes, use glass preferably though.

I think they're saying if you rinse things like spaghetti with cold water before cooking it will stop your dishes from being stained
Like when my clear Tupperware is now pink thanks to spaghetti sauce today, so I'ma try this

Important tip from AgolfHiller

Also helps to not leave it dirty on the counter for a week while you get stoned and play xbox.

Do I wash the spaghetti or the bowl?

Yes.

The only time it is appropriate to say "Thank You Adolf Hitler"
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
I'm pretty sure Stalin can say that too, given how Hitler has stopped him from being famous as the most evil person in history.

That plastic is melted!
Yeah, that has micropores that contain food beyond the reach of any dishwasher, machine or human, and bacteria grows in those micropores.
Thank you!

What!? *throws all the orange Tupperware*
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
Also, despite what the labels say, don't microwave plastic. It's bad for the plastic, it's bad for you, it's bad for Gerald down the street
vinny8boberano
this doesn't get said enough. Gerald can step right the fuck off!

Fuck Gerald.

Commenting too late to get noticed, but use this: https://www.homewetbar.com/images/prod/5313-bar-keepers-friend-135818.jpg it's awesome.
IThurtswhenIP6
+uno but for plastic?
Yep I use it to clean spaghetti sauce out of tupperware all the time. Works like magic!
But it says for countertops. It doesn't break down the plastic?
No you just wet the bowl, pour a little in, wipe it around with a sponge for a few seconds, and rinse it out. No damage done.
Stuebydoo
I ended up buying glass tupperware style tubs
HandsomeJackBlack
Pyrex makes cheap stuff now. I bought a set at target
victell
Yep. Glass can go in the oven too.
LimusBeanusRex
Glass is the best! They still have plastic lids... but definitely better quality here.

See, this is what I did, they're sturdier and better feeling too.

Until you drop one
I've never dropped a plate, container, or anything of the sort. Guess I'm just special.
Now you've jinxed it. Congratulations.

and packs of extra covers.?
You can buy a pack of stretchy silicone bowl covers on Amazon for like $10 and they work fine
Care to pm me a link so I can find it?
jizanthipussss
I have both. Bigger glass ones for stuff I'll definitely eat. Bulk-bought plastic ones for "leftovers" and if we forget after a week we toss
You see, I would care, I honestly would. But I barely care about the fact that I'm still alive let along saving my dishes.
HelloMax

This is the type of real world shit, that needs to be taught in schools.
memberwar
what should be taught in schools is avoiding plastic whenever possible.
krapmyself
Well, the assumption was this sort of thing was taught at home. But it seems somewhere within the last half dozen generations that was lost

School isnt your parent. Its not supposed to make you ready for life. Its supposed to fill you with knowledge so some poor fuck can hire you

That and comma placement
I was waiting for that! Have some internet points!
uptaco
That and proper financial budgeting, real world tactics to achieving a meaningful job for our species, and creating dank ass memes.
nerdyvet
I can't speak for everywhere, budgeting was part of my school districts' curriculum. I doubt they were the only ones. More likely? Students-
don't pay a lick of attention that boring ol' budgeting Unit, and promptly forget it was ever taught, or remember but simply don't do it--
and instead of own up to their inaction for their finances, blame the schools because "they didn't even teach us how important this was :O"
Nah. Here. Solve this equation instead.
Solving equations teaches logic for solving problems. You probably utilize that logic every day and don't even realize it because you don't-
form it in your head as "6x-7y=49". You form it as how many hours are left in your commute based your traffic speed, or whether you can--
benefit more from 3 watermelons+cheap vodka or 2 watermelons+better vodka. Regardless, at least MY education did entail budgeting and it's-
For that matter, at least my maths classes often incorporated budget-based word problems and financial equations like compounded interest

This explains why so many of my parent's Tupperware containers are permanently stained a faint red. (Lots of marinara sauce for Italians)

Marijuana sauce is the best.
Tminus1622d
We've used another type for years, decades, with no discoloring. It sounds like those Tupperware thingies might not be suited for storing
hot stuff in. Are you absolutely sure they're marketed for that?
No, they're just marketed. Way overpriced and not much different than Sterilite, which was also created by Earl Tupper.
Soylencer
Which also stains and crazes when you heat oils in it (like microwaving sauce, which will often have olive oil in it)
Of course; they're all plastic and all oil-soluble.

BulletToofTony
Rinsing does nothing. You need to soak the sauce in wood
Rinse the bowl with cold water after eating the spaghetti out of it. You can't fucking wash spaghetti
Well not with that attitude
GingerLaird
once spaghetti has been thoroughly consumed, rinse bowl with frigid liquid ice. Then wash with hot liquid ice.
Before or after the spaghetti gets washed in cold water?
Not the spaghetti, the bowl. The bowl should be empty of spaghetti before being rinsed with cold water you silly goose.
Can you then drink the spaghetti water for health and wellbeing?
blargyblorpy
You have to wash and dry the uncooked noodles in cold water before you cook them.
PotatoFaminePart2
and who puts shit is spaghetti?
teaforyouandme
I am still confused and need an answerp
Galvanax
You rinse the cooked noodles and then you can reheat them with meat and sauce later
kineticlops
The bowl lol, otherwise it gets that orange stain.
yourkiddingrightnow
You don't need answer, you want an answer, and an answer you shall have....
Someone further up the thread said you wash it in cold water to stop the color from staining the Tupperware dish.
YourFriendBen
The internet must be so confusing for some people
SparklesTheFabulous
So you wash the spaghetti in cold water? Gotcha
Wash the bowl in cold water honey.
Ah OK so then the spaghetti gets washed with the hot water
Sc00ba5teeve
Actually no, you should also wash your spaghetti with cold water because it helps break the starch bonds making it less sticky.
TinOxygenBoron
Rinse the Tupperware with cold water when you are finish using it to hold the staining sauce. After that the container is ready for cabinet.
Ogri
Are you Russian?
No I just had a limited amount of characters and more words that I wanted to use :P also I used the exact amount of characters which is fun.
Where the yellow and green mold can carefully coat the sauce till ready for use.
OracleForCheap
But.. Spaghetti doesn't stain? Or does it? It's just pasta?
Showmeyourotters
Pretty sure they mean spaghetti as a dish, IE Spaghetti and meatballs/meat sauce. Not the pasta on it's own.
The other person correctly pointed out this is an American thing, one I was completely unfamiliar with. I am sorry, therein lay my confusion
I think by spaghetti our American cousins are referring to it being lathered in tomato sauce. Like Heinz in a tin?
That is.. Fascinating. I did not know this. So they really mean tomatoes and/or preservatives? Thank you. Google seems to confirm sauce idea
MerkinSuit
Like Heinz catsup in a can? No, marinera (spaghetti sauce) is usually jarred and Heinz isn't a dominant producer.
