Place Dishes Directly Into Soapy Water While Cooking

Here is a quick tip. This is something my mother taught me. I always keep a sink of soapy, hot water ready whenever I am cooking. I am constantly cleaning while I am cooking. By the time I am ready to serve dinner, I only have a few dishes to clean. This also helps with spills and splatters.

I've been doing that forever, too. My grandparents ran a restaurant back in Depression times and impressed that "clean-up-as-you-go" mentality on all of us. Another perk to this method is that you actually use less time, energy ( and water and detergent!) by letting the soapy hot water do the work while you finish cooking.

You waste more time and running water cleaning up dishes that have been allowed to sit and harden than those that are practically self-cleaned doing them this way.

Great, old -fashioned ( but still very relevant)common-sense tip!

I do the very same thing and have been doing it so long it is just an automatic thing with me. Glad to know someone else does it too.
