Use a long-handled dishwashing brush instead of your fingers.

I do. The boiling water still splashes, at least a bit.

What I've found so far, based on trying suggestions in this thread, is that spraying vinegar or bottled lemon juice on the bowl and letting it sit for a bit helps a lot, and then I can pour boiling water into the bowl* and it will rinse the cheese awy with very little scrubbing.

*This is the big-ass ceramic bowl I normally use for pasta and for cooking yellow summer squash and onions in the microwave and then stirring in cheddar, which is when this problem usually comes up.

Sometime

I just throw my dishes out and buy new ones. So there.

First NotHardUp disses my scrubbies! And now you!

Now, now. No one said your piss & vinegar solution didn't work.

Just broadening the field, old chap.

It was the mention of piss & vinegar that did it?

Piss and vinegar just makes me thing about pickles.

It makes me think of head cheese.
My mom made it with pig's feet. That's funny, isn't it?

"Oh, but you won't get credit for your answer unless you label the units. 12 what? Minutes, hours, days, feet, watts, ergs???"

Didn't you hate being told that in class?

Ok how about a duel purpose vinegar cleaner
You take RBs tip a step further.

Fill a clean empty spray bottle with half white vinegar or half bottled lemon juice. Keep it on your counter. Now you have a presoak spray for cheesey bowls but it's also a good cleaner for fresh fruit. Rinse as usual.

Sigh.

The "missing" aforementioned "piss & vinegar" context.

When Vannie said it was "duel purpose," I just asssumed it was also used in swordfights or defending oneself against unbidden golden showers. Those are both dueling, sorta.

All this hullabaloo over cheesy residue. Sheesh!

 

[NotHardUp1]

Aww, I love the thread. I think these banter threads are the lifeblood of JUB. It's fun to have throwaway chatter.

 

[Vannie]

I enjoy them as well ^

I've just finished chattering for 10 minutes. I threw it away.

I'm missing something here, friend.

Oh, wait. Typo?

^ Just a failed attempt at humour. A whole lot of empty space to indicate a whole lot of 'chattering' which I threw away (i.e. deleted).

Like I said: a failed attempt.

What can I say? I'm old.

I got it, Neil -- sort of. But it just made me want to see what you'd deleted. That's because I'm interested in what you have to say.

Can anyone recommend a baking sheet that won't warp the first time it gets used? I am tired of burning my food.

We have a bunch of 18X13 Nordic Ware baking sheets that are pretty sturdy and are decent quality aluminum.

And reasonably priced at around 13 bucks from Walmart.
