Sitting here looking out the window. I just watched my neighbor across the street planting a sign that says "Jesus is the reason for the season" in his front yard.

Sounds delicious.Just finished Thanksgiving dishes!
Admittedly, my meal of lentils and rice, served to one, didn't generate many dishes. Almost everything got washed last night. But the pan needed a bit of soaking, and hating doing dishes, I kept finding good reasons not to scrub said pan. Then, a few minutes ago, I ran out of good excuses. (And the fact I'll want the pan for tonight'sslopdinner is good incentive to get it cleaned up.)
And then put it on self-clean.I just put all my dirty pots and pans in the oven.
I'll have to try the vinegar sometime.Sounds delicious.
But one of the best ways to avoid scrubbing pans that have proteins stuck to them is to pour in some straight white vinegar and let them soak a bit. Or cover nad heat it up.
Voila. No scrubbing.
Foolish me--I thought cleaning mode referred to the oven, now I realize it's for the pots put inside of it!And then put it on self-clean.
Voila.
It is just simple chemistry. Acids break down proteins.I'll have to try the vinegar sometime.
This time, I just put warm water in it the night before and cover ed it. It cleaned up reasonably easily for this particular pan.
I've considered getting a pan with a nonstick coating for things that I know have a real likelihood of making a mess of the pan. But such a pan has not crossed my path at the right price in a discount store. And I figure anything used is likely to have degraded nonstick coating. Some pans I see at Goodwill are more than degraded. (And not just nonstick. I see old Calphalon that has plain aluminum visible inside.)
And then put it on self-clean.
Voila.
