The joy of letting the pans soak.

[slowmotion]

I once lived in a squalid student house in a seedy part of west London. One evening we had a casserole cooked in a cast iron pot, accompanied by a certain amount of grog. The next day, with hangovers raging, a bad-tempered argument broke out over who was responsible for washing up the enamelled-on residue. We all refused. Two days later the pot was still in the kitchen, as disgusting as ever. Eventually somebody put some water in it and left it in the overgrown back garden where it remained , forgotten, for three weeks. It was finally discovered in a pristine state after the local tom cats had licked it clean.

JML have probably got a self-cleaning pan on sale.

Leave too early and you might just meat yourself coming home though.

@fnarr , one for you?

This one?

My thoughts were more of an antedote to the time and modern life is rubbish threads. But if the odd top-tip pops up then all the better.



Meat?

Is that when you have gone full Geoff Goldblum in the time machine?

You're the second one to mention me time travelling this evening.

Pah, 3 weeks.....beginners stuff.

I came back from a hiking trip many moons ago and slung all my stuff back up in the loft. It crossed my mind many times over the next 15 years that for some reason I hadn't cleaned my trangia after the last meal. Anyway after 15 years my curiosity got the better of me and I fetched it down to see.......

Took more than a little soaking but scrubbed up nicely.

You should have put it in the back garden and saved yourself some trouble.

People are curious what it means to meat yourself ? Sounds filthy.

Aluminum

The Yanks soak the pans when talking, they cannot be arsed to say aluminium, instead they say aloominum. And spelling by dropping superfluous letters in words. In fact I'm sure they could quite happily live without the letter 'u', in fact we probably all cood. Afterall how many times has anyone ever written the word umbrella?

That last one, two dozen times.

I chuck them in a bin and use new ones every meal time.

What, you do your own cooking? I thought everyone in the UK had a butler to do that for them.

Legend has it that @Drago actually eats his meat raw, sometimes even before the animal is dead.

Nah. I think you'll find he beats his meat til it's raw....

Of course letting the pans soak can be a metaphor for anything else or taken literally. What are your soaking the pan equivalents?

You need to work on your thread titles.
Might I suggest this one would have benefitted from being captioned 'The Joy of Soaks'...
