I usually do a hot pre soak filling the pan or pot with hot water and a few drops of dish soap, leave it for a little back, come back, rinse everything off and scrape with fork, scrub with a brush and more soap, and then finish with steel wool. Steel wool is really the missing piece of the puzzle here
water will eventually like roll around freely on the pan instead of evaporating and then after that its pretty much nonstick Regarding cleaning I just use like a rough sponge and dish soap I assume there is a technical way that may be better for the pan but this works for me
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
