This was the part that I wouldn’t do just because I view the sink as mostly clean and plunger as mostly dirty. So unless I were to sterilize the sink afterwards I wouldn’t put a plunger in the sink.

Hol up… You’re supposed to heat the plunger up first? I can only assume it’s to loosen up the rubber so it compresses better, but I’ve never felt like it was too stiff to not work.

Yeah seriously that’s gross as fuck. I wouldn’t even want to use a garage sink to rinse a plunger. It’s just too nasty for me. It gets rinsed outside with the hose.

It’s to prevent it from cracking as rubber gets brittle at lower temps, especially a shit batch of cheap rubber. If it cracks it’s useless.
