After washing dishes for more decades than many of you have been alive, I have finally simplified my life and made peace with difficult meal clean up. All dishes, silverware and tools are washed or put in dishwasher. Just about all pots and pans are filled with hot detergent water and left to molder overnight on the stovetop, letting time do the work for me. In the morning, most wash up with just a swish of a “non-scratch dish sponge”. Or a final swipe with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
For burned-on grill pans, after a night’s soak, they come clean pretty easily with either stainless steel pot scrubbers or Lodge’s purpose-made gp cleaners.
