Dishes in Truck

take them into the bathroom and wash it out in the sink.

 

Very good question. I never did deal with it. But then I didn't actually cook in the truck. My few hot meals came from restaurants. Other stuff such as sandwich and salad stuff don't actually require anything more than paper plates, or napkins or tin foil etc.

It would seem to me that if you are going to be actually cooking, you probably need to be stopped. So if this is the case, then heating water to wash dishes shouldn't be a problem.

 

One thing I would NEVER do is use a truck stop bathroom to wash a dish, or anything else I might eat off of. In fact, it's a darn good idea to use one of those disinfectants on your hands after being in those bathrooms!

 

The only "cooking" I ever did in my trucks was to use a water boiler to add boiling water to freeze-dried backpacking/survival meals; these "cook" -- actually, they hydrate -- in the pouch, so there's no clean-up. Ditto dried soups. I supplemented with fruit and vegetables or cheese and crackers and whatever sweets I'd bought. I ran a really clean truck and I didn't want the interior or my clothing and bedding to smell like food. I used disposable spoons and forks. A friend had a microwave in his truck and the cab and sleeper smelled like a kitchen. And he did too. No thanks.

I made sandwiches once in awhile. Coffee and tea were made with the boiler, which never held anything but clean water.

You can get a lot of cheap and bulk foods at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club or Costco.

BTW: WetOnes wipes are the best. Or Wal-Mart's generic brand.

 

I highly doubt I'd wash them in the bathroom sink. They'd be cleaner going in than out.

If anything, most truckstops have a stainless steel sink near the coffee maker area's. I would use that and some anti-bacterial Dawn.

Going styrofoam and plastic isn't green, but it sure works, lol.

 

i can barely stand to walk into most truck stop restrooms.....theres no way in hell id wash any kind of dishes in one of them

 

It's not green, but it's clean.
