"Living in an apartment, handling kitchen waste has become much easier."
What drove us to purchase the "Island Land Food Garbage Dryer"?
We had issues with waste disposal in our apartment: Initially, we bought a small container for storing kitchen waste, but it stored moisture at the bottom, became unhygienic, and was inconvenient due to its size, making cleaning difficult. Transitioning to a covered bowl for storage seemed like a solution, but it took up space, was visually unappealing, and left us dissatisfied. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a better alternative and had to make do with it.
Consequently, we found ourselves taking kitchen waste to the trash disposal area in our apartment buildings almost every day. Living on an upper floor made this task particularly tedious.
In summer, the waste containers attracted maggots, which I found truly distressing, especially when opening the lid and seeing the maggots.
Disposal of kitchen waste without plastic bags
In Germany, disposing of kitchen waste in plastic bags is not allowed. Even bioplastic is prohibited. Using paper bags didn't work as they would soak through immediately. Therefore, we carried the corrected waste directly in a bowl for disposal. As our building doesn’t have an elevator, going downstairs daily to dispose of the waste and then bringing back the emptied dirty container upstairs was truly inconvenient.
Impressions after using the "Island Land Food Garbage Dryer"
No more liquid leakage from kitchen waste.
The Island Land Food Garbage Dryer remarkably dries out kitchen waste. Since it remains dry and doesn't rot, I can store it in the kitchen for several days without needing to take it outside daily for disposal. It has proven convenient to use the simple paper bags I receive for free from bakeries or butcher shops when buying meat or baked goods to store and dry my kitchen waste. This keeps everything clean, without any additional expenses.
Container very easy to clean
The round shape of the container makes it easy to clean. Sometimes, dried waste adheres to the bottom of the bucket, but it cleans effortlessly by soaking briefly in some water with a splash of dish soap. Previously, I used a sponge dedicated to cleaning waste containers, but now, as the dried waste doesn't feel unhygienic, I use a regular pot scrubber brush for cleaning. There's no concern about bacterial contamination since dried kitchen waste doesn't decompose, halting bacterial growth.
