Kabe-don Is How Tough Guys Show Their Love

You may not be familiar with the term Kabe-don, but chances are you’ve seen the pose in movies, TV shows, comic books and animation. It’s the way tough guys show their love, by pinning the object of their affection up against the wall using arms or legs or both, and kabe-don poses are an internet sensation in Japan.

People love to stage pictures of themselves posing kabe-don style with a pet or loved one, or else they create wacked out illustrated versions of the pose which would be impossible to do in real life.

They also love adding a bit of wordplay to the pose phenomenon, changing words like gyudon (a type of beef bowl) into a bull posing kabe-don style over his intended "victim". And don’t forget Neko-don, kitty style kabe-don pics which are all the rage because, you know, the internet.

I can tell you from decades of experience that rinsing your dishes is crucial if they aren't going to be washed in the dishwasher immediately. Dried-on food doesn't come off in most dishwashers. But if you've just had a big meal and run the washer immediately afterward, they'll be okay. My family uses dishes more than once a day, and the dishwasher is only run once a day, so we MUST rinse, or at least soak them.

Prerinsing or not seems to really depend on what dishwashing machine you have, with some being much better than others. The result is a lot of frustration when you have visitors trying to help out in the kitchen, insisting that they don't need to rinse, then confused when you show them the baked on mess it leaves behind. The loading they showed in the video might not be so good for bowls, again depending on the machine, as some can get a bit violent even on the top rack and bowls that rest on each other can chip (also depends on quality of the bowls).

I think the knife grip one showed is a bit down to personal choice. While choking up on the grip helps, how much you actually place your fingers on the blade seems to depend on the size of your hands and the knife. I've seen other chefs suggest choking up that much while some do, and a few say to try both.

The last compartment in the back of the silverware caddy is also a good place to put your scrubber sponge for cleaning. The sponges can get really smelly and the chemicals in dishwashing liquid are strong. I find running the sponge through the dishwasher every other cycle lengthens the life of the sponge and leaves me less worried I'm just adding germiness to my dishes rather than cleaning them away.
