Is this sanitary?

I don't think kitchen tools, accessories should be mixed with any other use. I'd agree with whomever said buy a new kitchen bowl and let her have the old one.

I don't use much plastic in cooking, because I never feel that I can get it totally clean, so I would not care for this practice. A glass container, or stainless--no problem.

I had a friend who had a mouse in her apartment--she set a trap, caught it, used her kitchen tongs to pick up trap, mouse and all, and threw the trap AND the tongs away. Silly.

I'm not really keen on plastic equipment either for the same reason - it never feels as sanitary.
