    What corners do you cut with soaking the dishes? In what universe is doing the same thing you’d be doing anyway, just at the same time as another thing, cutting a corner? Pedants are everywhere in this damn thread lmao

      You can wreck cooking equipment by soaking them. You just replace it more often and you won’t even put the reason why it’s happening together.

      Doing things correctly while not wrecking stuff is being pedantic according to who?

        I’d suggest stop using paper cooking equipment. Cast iron, sure, probably don’t soak it, but you also shouldn’t be using cast iron for things that may need soaking. Anything else, if you wreck it by soaking it… Get better stuff, man.

          lol, it’s the cheap stuff you soak since you don’t care about it.

          If you soak expensive equipment, holy hell you’re just wasting money, buy the cheap stuff and ruin that.

          Soaking a sheet pan is a great way to get it rusty, soaking any multi material pot can cause water to get places it shouldn’t and expand and break stuff.

          You don’t soak cooking equipment unless you plan on tossing far sooner than other stuff, sorry. You can water your money replacing equipment every few years while other last decades. It’s a simple concept, time or something else like money, you aren’t saving anything by soaking dishes, despite the lies people perpetuate about soaking. It’s corner cutting that costs you later.
