Dishes Tip #003 - We Don't Put Out
if you are making a meal that takes pasta sauce don't soak the dishes with anything plastic. don't even let that toxic red stuff touch anything plastic. if you have to soak the pan (only because you didn't prerinse it after it became empty) place it on the stove or counter and fill it with water as hot as you can get it. boiling even. it also helps to to put a glass cutting board and/or paper towels under it. or you could just make a dish that doesn't stain everything it touches. but never one so tasty.
