Best ways to clean soap covered pots, bowls, utensils and other equipment?
I clean my SB right away since it's a pain to clean when the batter is wet, but it's a pita when the soap has hardened (ask me how I know).
You got that right...I did not clean my SB right away ONCE...the ordeal to clean it afterward was all the motivation I needed to make sure I cleaned it right away from then on.Snappy, you are *so* right. It takes five seconds to run the SB through a container of warm soapy water when it is wet to most of the gunk off it. And it is such a pain - and potentially cut-producing - when the soap has dried up and you have to try to lever it out of the crevices. That is the one thing I never forget to do.
I also wipe all with either rags or paper towels. I prefer dry rags then I drape them over a bucket outside and wash them the next day. Most of the batter will be saponified by then. Running the SB in soapy water after use if definitely the way to clean it. It is also how you clean SB if you use one for cookingI clean my SB right away also.(I have a scar from the one time I didn't.) But I wipe all of my items out with old towels that I use as soaping rags, then wash with gloves on in soapy water.
Problem is you would be surprised how much oil is going down your sink if you do not wipe off the containers and utensils before washing. Wipe then wash is much betterI always keep a sink full of hot dishwater when I'm soaping. As soon as I'm done with something, it goes into the sink for rinsing. When I'm all done soaping, I drain the sink, refill it with fresh soapy water and wash everything thoroughly, dry it and put it all away for next time.
Now, if only I were that diligent when I'm cooking...
