Rachael Ray's Garbage Bowl

I know that Rachael Ray has a huge following, so many people are probably already aware of her system. She uses a large wooden salad bowl as her garbage bowl when she's cooking in the kitchen. What a great concept! Most trash bags are under the sink, and what a drag it is to constantly try to throw trash down there. That's just an accident waiting to happen, but a nearby trash bowl on the counter with a large opening is so convenient and practical. Throwing out plastic liners with meat juice always gets everywhere. But throwing out trash is so easy this way. You simply cover the bowl with the trash bag and flip it over. I know it's a bit of a waste, but I throw trash out everyday because the smell of rotting food is intolerable for me. So, this is a perfect way to keep things clean and easy.
