It is an inevitable part of cooking, clean up. And not very many, if any, people are truly excited to do it.

Here are a few tips to make it faster and easier!

1) Do it right away! I know we’ve all heard it and it takes a while to really sink in, but I promise if you clean up as you go and as soon as you are done it really does go faster.

2) When it comes to stuck on food, burnt on food, especially meats and sugars a little vinegar goes a long way. As soon as you’re done with the pan and while it is still hot pour just enough vinegar to cover the mess and leave it to soak. Just about everything will easily come off.

3) Baking soda is stainless Steels best friend. It will wash and leave those surfaces sparkling clean.

4) A lemon wedge down the garbage disposal will kill bacteria and bad smells.

5) refer back to 1.   It really makes a world of difference!

Happy Cooking
