Original TWEAK Strainer

My new home doesn’t have a garbage disposal (yet.) We have a lovely, large, stainless steel sink, but no disposal.

Now I can’t speak for you, but I hate scrapping out the gooey gunk that gets trapped in the metal stopper-strainer basket that’s standard with most sinks. So I went looking for something that would let me deal with the goo as touch-free as possible.

I had my choice of colors for this little device and I thought the green was fun and cheery. Words I never expected to associate with a garbage strainer, but life is full of surprises.

I’m pretty happy with it. I can convey the slimy nasty stuff from sink to trash receptacle without contact and without spilling. A sharp shake and occasionally a quick wipe with a paper towel and it’s clean and ready to take up it’s unenviable yet critical task once again.

So until I get around to dealing with the complications of installing a garbage disposal in a kitchen island with no obvious place to mount the switch I will convey my gunk in a cheery green silicone Tweak Stainer.
