Easy Cookware Cleaning

While I'm washing my plates, bowls, cups, and flatware, I usually squirt a little dish detergent and fill the cookware with water. Transfer it to a heated stove, and bring it to a boil. It'll efficiently degrease the cookware surface and make clean up easy. This is recommended for cookware with a long handle. I had to learn the hard way that using this method for a Dutch oven wasn't the best idea because I have to wait until the pot cools down. For cookware without handles, I squirt dish detergent and fill it with very hot water. You can even pour boiled water from your teakettle, just as long as it doesn't heat the entire cookware.
