The Plastic Rules

Everyone has a different way of dealing with plastics in their kitchen.  We have been striving to greatly reduce plastics coming into our kitchen.  Like many I have come to the conclusion that trying to eliminate plastics in the kitchen is virtually impossible. I have the following rules regarding plastic that finds its way into my kitchen:

  • if the product comes packaged more than one ways, jars will always win over plastic
  • plastic does not go in the dishwasher
  • plastic does not go in the microwave ovne
  • plastic is always hand washed without exposing to hard environment
  • any disposable plastic is recycled if at all possible
