Cleanup hack

You’ve soaked, scrubbed and rinsed, yet the roast of Christmas past has still left its mark on your favourite roasting pan. There is a simple trick for stubbornly dirty pots and pans. It’s called the deglazing method. Soak it in hot water (no soap) then place the pan on top of a mediumlow burner. Using a wooden spoon (so it doesn’t scratch), scrape the baked-on residue until it comes off. Carefully tip the water into the sink then wash the pan in hot soapy water. Done!
