Is it acceptable as a last resort to use the bathtub for a huge batch of soup? My family got chosen to serve some homeless people along with a few other families (my wife works and her company selected her). We got the soup detail by drawing the number. It needs to be 40 gallons they said. SO.... what if I simply clean out the tub very well. Scrub it, sanitize it, wash it with lots of clean water... Then just make the soup.

Honestly how is that any "nastier" than restaurants that use the same old silverware day in day out? I feel like if anything feet are less contagious than mouths. Is this unethical?

Thanks Veeky Forums. I am sure some of you can give it to me straight.

Pic is the closest thing I could find.

how do you plan on heating the bathtub?

Look, I'm sure that if you sanitized it completely and that you washed it to where it's near perfect it MIGHT be ok. However there is still no guarantee, there is still the possibility of dead skin, hair, urine, fecal matter, etc. Still in the tub.

Also what happens if it gets out that you literally made soup in your bath tub, do you think anyone would trust your family ever again?

Man up, buy a commercial grade stock pot and start making batches user.

im not going to heat it, just throw the stuff in and let the water saturate the meats and veggies over time...

How much would one of those cost do you figure? Its best to err on the side of least controversy, obviously. You got any idea?

You have two options, soup laced with human skin, dirt, hair, grime, fecal matter, or soup laced with bleach. And the soup will be cold.

A ten gallon stock pot is like forty bucks.

You are right. I hate the fact that it will cost me hundreds of dollars to do the right way. Between us, I don't care if dead skin and fecal matter got in their food. They're homeless and they're being fed for free. You can't be picky when you rely on the generosity of others. It's not like it would literally kill them either. So I am so hesitant to spend hundreds of dollars on top of the labor and shopping involved.

Oh yeah? Heck man thats music to my ears!

how does her work force her to make 40 gallons of soup?

they can't fire her for that

That is almost as disgusting as when my parents use the fucking kitchen sink to prepare thanksgiving stuffing.
