Just admit to yourself that you left the rice on for too long or whatever and that it’s going to take some real scrubbing to get it clean again. It’s okay, I’m here for you. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it.

    I’m waiting for advanced rice-eating bacteria to arrive :bern-disgust:

      This is the utopian thinking Engels warned us about

        I’ve negated rice edible properties, but what is inedible to human is edible to bacteria. Thus negating my negation of rice edibility is dialectically sound tactic :soviet-huff:

      Look fermentation is the solution to all problems, whether that is rice eating yeast or delicious alcohol

    Soaking a pan puts it into a quantum superposition that only collapses into a specific state when you start cleaning it. Until then, it doesn’t count towards the dirty dish total. That’s science.

    I'm a dishie so it's like a busman's holiday for me. I don't even soak it at home or work just all elbow grease baby. The spirit of the worker lives in my steel scrubber and green scrubby pads. Long live Marxism and anarchism, leftist and worker solidarity forever.

      how dirty do you let the scrubber/scrubbypads get before you toss em? or do you just wash them until they fall apart?

        So at work I use them until they either until they go soft or they get so gross that they're unusable. Same for steel scrubbers, especially after cheese. I try and rinse them out as much as possible. At home like sorta the same just use and rinse. I throw them out after about three weeks ish.

    One time I was trying to candy blood oranges and accidentally left the burner on and allowed the water to completely boil off.

    Soaking did not rescue me from the consequences.

    Okay but sometimes soaking for a few hours really does help quite a lot depending on what's going on in that pot

    Things soak until I walk past the kitchen again and am feeling up to doing grotty tasks.
