Tips on Cleaning Pots & Pans
Ignore pots and pans and they will get back to you!
Any food left in a pot will absorb a soap flavour and will affect the next thing you cook. It can also breed bacteria.
It is important to clean pots and pans thoroughly to remove grease on the outside surface as well. Otherwise, when heated that residue can cause a nasty, hard-to-remove carbon build-up.
