Dishwashing

Are there mountains of unwashed glasses and plates? Stop putting off the washing up! If you don't have a dishwasher, you'll have to wash the dirty cutlery and the dirty plates by hand. Food residue can dry on plates and utensils in up to a day, so much so that you can hardly scrape it off. Not to mention that removing used oil from the pan, or even cooking stew that have been burnt to to the bottom of the pot, is also a very unpleasant job. These stubborn stains are much easier to wash off if you first wipe the oily pan dry with a paper towel and soak the pan immediately after use, loosening the burnt layer. It's a good idea to rinse glasses, plates and cutlery immediately after a meal to make washing up easier.
