Most taps would be too low as well. Especially if like me, you have a Harold who piles the dirty dishes in the sink. Snap @griftalo I was feeling insecure like I might have had a shallow povvo sink.

We need a top 10 slops. Can we do a poll? We’re too late for sloppies I think.
Of all the slops, my fave is the least sloppy. In fact, it’s so rigid, it required an electric drill to create the holes…. Yes, I present to you, the drill bit pencil-hole digestives crumpets….

And my fave Grifty Kitchen tip is the one where you race boiling water that you’ve poured to be able to grab a cloth you’ve just soaked in it without burning your fingers.

I always hark back to the bloody bean rinsing.
If you’re hard up and want a quick nutritious meal, beans on toast would be perfect. Why on earth would you want to wash off the tomato sauce? She built her career on bean rinsing! See also ‘baked bean blogger’.
Surely you are mistaken young Beardy. Jack spent years triple testing these thrifty tips. Three experts tested the tips for safety and thriftiness and Jack carefully, forensically narrowed the thrifty tips into the safest most thrifty tips before allowing them to be passed for scrupulous editing.
It's almost as if you think Jack spent years ignoring final deadlines that shoved together a load of that will do balls that no one could be arsed to check and getting dumped by her agent and her publisher. As if!
Her tips fall into roughly three types. 1) the bleeding obvious, such as you can mash potatoes with a fork 2) the utterly insane, see the mither* over the carabiner 3) receptacles can be used as receptacles (gu pots, jam jars, Easter egg boxes and so on).
*On Christmas Day my mum’s cat started yowling, my mum said “just ignore him, he’s mithering for his tea”. She pronounced it “mithering”.

Looks like Sandworm Surprise.
I think she’s been 'cooking' 
What the actual duck is that? It looks like humbugs in cheese sauce.
As a possible fourth category, there are also those which she's simply stolen - often from foreign or outdated sources - without understanding them.
The advice about using a knife to open cans, for example, will have been less dangerous when used for old-style tinplate cans - they were sealed with lead solder, which was easy to slice through. But they were mostly replaced by steel cans sealed with rolled seams in the 1960s, and banned altogether in 1992. You might expect a 'literal canned food expert' to know this, but Jack clearly couldn't give a duck.
Or mopping your floor with the water from a tumble dryer's condenser. The point of that is that it's (mostly) deionised - so if you use it in a steam mop, it'll stop it from getting gummed up with limescale. But Jack didn't clock that bit, so instead wrote about using it with a normal mop and bucket.
She was clearly desperate to hit her word count. Remember that the original mockups promised 200 grifty tips, only to be slimmed down later to 'over 120 delicious, money-saving recipes and home hacks'.
Ours used to be one of these:
But being rented house, when it broke they replaced with cheapo:
But even so… neither style would’ve worked!!!
I’ve been watching Mary Berry and Tom Kerridge at length today, these two, from whom I would probably accept anything they made, just make guest seem so very ridiculous for thinking s/t/he/y could pull off tv!! It’s like the opposite version of these two crawled up a sewer from hell.

Even by guest's "standards".

Do not be surprised if this ends up as a "jackhack" one day. WARNED!

As I missed it at the time (I found you bunch of ninnies in around June 2020) can someone tell me what the purpose of Daily Kitchen was? Was it really to provide guidance on how to use up leftovers or make nutritious meals with whatever you had in your kitchen at a time when supermarkets were running low on so many food items?
