Hmm, I don't have an angle grinder/bolt cutters in my disaster prep kit... Waffle House does. What do they know that I do not know?

Oooh, that'sn an idea, push button LEDs for the bathrooms. Sure better than dropping your flashlight in the loo! 🤢 #disasterpreparedness

Oooh, they teach the "three pot" method like we did in scouts for washing dishes.

1. Hot wash with a little bit of soap
2. Hot rins pot
3. Cold rinse pot with sanitizing tablets and/or a few drops of bleach

(this assumes you have a way to heat water, of course).

Hmm, that seems like a good strategy, always have someone who is cleaning. #disasterpreparedness

Everyday tip for people with a coffee maker but no power, and a camp stove.

Waffle House:

"How to make coffee without electricity:

. Boil water on two-eye burner or on the gill

. Empty one bag of coffee into filter, place back on machine

. Pour water into coffee pot for exact measurement

. Unscrew small cover on top of coffee maker

. Pour water into compartment and then quickly return pot to hot plate
"

Oh, here's their "three pot method" diagram.

@ai6yr curious that the temperature is on the wash pot. I consider the rinse to be the most important pot to be as hot as possible. You can wash in coldish water just fine, but you need steaming hot water to get the soap off, or whoever uses the plate next is going to get the runs.
@exador23 I've heard about that! Also, too much soap will do that, you'll never get it off in a rinse pot (I am guilty of that at home, I rise the heck out of them and probably use too much water lol)

@exador23 @ai6yr

Depends on what soap you use!

Ivory dish soap rinses off in cold water

Dawn dish soap does not

You can experiment with others to see how they do
