Australia, yes. I especially hate the ones that have a button to turn on and have so little power that if you rubbed your hands together fast enough, they’d dry faster via friction than using the dryer.

I highly doubt they do. They probably just get tested and tagged, and maybe to make sure the filters are cleaned/replaced. Otherwise, I really don’t know. Do the daily cleaners even wipe those down? I’ve more often seen people cleaning the traffic lights (3 times in my entire life) than I see anyone go near a hand dryer with a cloth (none).

Environmental Health Officer here… I had a classmate who did a study on this, specifically the Dyson-type where you stick your hands in downwards.

Next time, take a look at what’s there in the 2mm gap on the bottom inside where the water, etc. collects, and where the forced air blows all that material. Remember to not breathe.

There’s a reason why we direct food businesses to use paper towels in the kitchen, not hand dryers. Also, because ain’t nobody got time to properly wash their hands for 30 seconds and then stand there completely drying their hands when they have 20+ chits on the go.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the majority of people don’t know how to wash their hands properly, especially under the nails (both men and women). They’ve just used the hand dryer. Now you use the hand dryer. Multiply that by how many days it is before these things actually get cleaned and sanitised only to be contaminated again by the first user until the next clean and sanitise, if ever. Humans are filthy. 💀

So… A fan forced bench top oven 😂

Speaking of marketing scheme, I still have a laugh when people think the air fryer is the greatest kitchen equipment ever and so healthy because there’s no oil used.

It’s a bench top conventional oven.

I also really enjoyed this one because it also wasn’t dripping in grease. It was definitely on the healthier side, which I really appreciated after a bike ride and needing a boost that wasn’t going to make me sluggish for the ride back.

Thank you for your comment! I’m a lurker instead of a poster, so positive feedback encourages me/people to share more. Posting more is my goal for this year. I’ve liked Lemmy a lot, and I want to help keep it alive, even if it’s just posting pictures of food.

Even the people who said “fuck yes” and the lip biting emoji let’s me know I’ve done alright. 😁

I’m no sandwich connoisseur, haha. The cheese wasn’t melted because it was in the middle of the sandwich. The chicken was definitely grilled, though. They also had another section on the menu board that advertised melts, so if I decide to try something other than that epic sandwich pictured above, I will report back!

Sandwich cross section. Piece of chicken fell out of the side, hence the lopsidedness. I’d definitely go back for this.

I know, right? It isn’t extravagant, but the taste really gives you a punch of flavour and amazing bread texture. 🤤

@sendpicsofsandwiches commented on one of my cooking posts and I wondered where to send/post pics of sandwiches… So here I am.

Thank you!

Ohhh this would be amazing. We’ve already got meals planned for this long weekend, but the meat would freeze well to be eaten on cooler days with soup. I’ll see what I can do 😁

I know… You can imagine how disappointed I was when the doctor told me this. Less fatty (delicious) meats, less dairy :( But I love pizza, lasagna, and BBQ meats…

Thank you!

Same here. I think it was something like $18.99/kg. Beef brisket is $17/kg. I don’t eat a lot of the same meats, so I don’t notice price increases a whole lot, but no doubt prices have increased in the last few years. Definitely noticed a lot of shrinkflation and skimpflation.

The internet says:

Girello beef is sourced from the hind leg of the cow, specifically from well-exercised muscles. This area produces a lean, firm-textured cut with a robust beefy flavour. While it lacks the marbling found in pricier cuts, girello makes up for it with its satisfying taste and versatility.

Due to its low fat content, girello beef is an excellent option for health-conscious people or looking for a leaner choice. The cut has gained popularity for its ability to adapt to slow-cooking methods, where it becomes tender and absorbs flavours from accompanying ingredients.

I also can’t find the cut in any supermarkets in Victoria, so this would make sense why I’ve never seen it before. It was an impulse buy because I had read about it that morning!

Thank you!! It turns out much better than I expected. At the 18th hour, I was thinking “Oh no, it’s never going to fall apart, I messed up… Ah what the heck, I’ll let it go overnight again”. It pulled beautifully into small threads and it was made better by making the gravy and mixing it together so it wasn’t like eating saltine crackers.

Same!! But the doctor said to lower my cholesterol (the saturated fats… shakes fist), and cheese is a very slippery slope for me.

Australia 😎 Though I did find this cut at a fresh food market and I don’t usually look for it and it caught my eye. I don’t see this in supermarkets, so I’m not sure where else this sell this. Maybe fancy butchers, but I do g get paid enough to frequent those.

Thank you! Next time, I might chuck it under the grill and toast some cheese…

It very nearly fell apart. Only a slice of tomato and capsicum fell out the bottom.

Uh oh… I think it’s also called eye of round? It’s very lean.
