The Mistake Nearly Everybody Makes When Washing Pans

Please stop soaking your pans overnight. It's a terrible thing to wake up to! According to Lifehacker, very few things need to be soaked. If they do, it's because you didn't act fast enough when you finished with the pan. Instead of soaking, boil water with some baking soda to remove burnt-on gunk. And wipe pans out quickly, before they're completely cool, to avoid sticking!
