I love zucchini and I have never ever heard of this. Is it something local in the US? That sounds really gross and WEIRD! It must be the species. The kind we get here is very dry and good for deep frying and eating with tzatziki! Not that I know of...I never have an issue. |

Has to be the species, right? We had zucchini in our garden growing up and I never noticed it slimy. It’s not even wet like a cucumber or other squash. Unless @galew is having a reaction to it. I mean that is a possibility, too? |

My dog’s saliva makes a weird film on his food bowls and I squirt a pump or two of vinegar into the bowl along with the soap when I wash them. The vinegar immediately removes that slimy film feeling that ordinary washing doesn’t seem to get. slight hijack, but THANK YOU!! I cannot STAND the weird dog saliva film that gets on their food bowls; one of our dogs has to eat from a 'slow feeding' bowl, and she LICKS every last crumb off of it. The silicone rubber gets slimed every time she eats. I will definitely try the vinegar trick. ETA: I've never noticed a sticky film when I handle zucchini, so maybe (like others have said) it's a reaction that some people get? I don't like zucchini all that much, to tell the truth- maybe I had too much of it when I was a kid in the days of 'put the extra zucchini on the neighbors' doorstep and run' because there was always so much of it in the garden. (I take that back; it IS good for two things- zucchini bread, and zucchini cake, lol) |

Maybe it's the variety. I don't think it always happens but now that I think of it, it might be when I'm working with zucchini that friends or family have given us from their garden.

I now hand wash all the pet dishes to make sure they are squeaky clean after removing some from my dishwasher that I had not let fully dry. When picking them up, the slight dampness made it so that I could immediately tell which bowl had been the dog’s and which was the cat dish due to a residual yucky feel on the surface of one of them. I have hand washed with added vinegar since that day. Let me know if it works or you. |
