Cleaning up after cooking a big family meal has to be one of my least favorite chores. However, we all know that the sooner things are cleaned up the easier the cleaning seems to be. Well, this is not always the case, especially if you are a firm believer in the soak before your scrub philosophy of housekeeping.
Soaking pots and pans does make it easier to get the baked on and fried on food off, but it also adds time to your workload. If you need to clean up in a hurry there are ways to utilize the principles behind soaking in a much faster cleaning process.
The first option works well for pots and pans that have burned on or fired on food messes. For this cleaning strategy you will start by removing the Jewish recipes that you just cooked in the pot or pan and put it into a serving dish or a storage dish. With the edible food out of the way you will put the pan back on the stove and add about an inch of water or enough water to cover the burned on food. Now bring the water to a boil and use a plastic spatula to gently remove the food particles from the metal. Do not allow the water to completely boil away or you will be left with the same mess that you started with. Instead, after the food has been loosened from the side you can pour the water out.
Steam can also be used to freshen up the look of your glassware. Steam cleaners will provide a burst of focused steam which can be used to remove spots and soap residue from your glasses and your glass cookware. Steam cleaners also are great for quickly sanitizing silverware and children’s dish sets.
