Washing Starchy Pots
I always get aggravated when I wash pots after cooking potatoes, pasta or rice. The starch just seems to cling to the surface and it isn't completely visible until after the pot is dry. I can't tell you how many times I've had to rewash pots used to cook starchy foods.
Well, at least I used to, until I learned a great tip. When washing starchy pots, let them soak in COLD soapy water. Hot water turns the starch gluey and makes it harder to wash off completely. But with cold water, it wipes right off. Then, just rinse the pot in hot water after it is clean. This is SO much easier than having to scrub at the starch or rewash the pot.

Just a follow-up to say that I tried this trick out with a pan from sticky white rice last night and it worked beautifully! I am so appreciative for this tip!
I'm definitely going to have to give this a try! Thanks!
