How do you clean your pots that are sticky from cheese?? The scrubbers get all sticky, any interesting ideas?

pour boiling water over it. when it cools down scrape dirt with a paper towel. afterwards, do the rest with a regular sponge.

Let it soak and then wipe it out.

I wonder, if that's what cheese does to our pots, what does it do to our bodies

def let it soak in warm water with soap. use some ammonia or vinegar for the grease.

One of two approaches (I have a harder time with cheese stuck on plates, but it works with pots too):

1 - Hot water and soap and then wash with a paper towel, or

2 - Put it in the fridge so the cheese hardens and then scrape it off . . .

scrape it off with a spoon, then rub as much off with your fingers or a steel wool, by then the sponge should stay clean when you wash the pot.

First of all always try to wash it out right away before the cheese gets real hard, If that's not possible then I soak it in water and wipe clean with a paper towel, not sponge.

pour some dishwashing liquid in the pot and cover with some water. Boil for about 10 minutes. The the goo should either be off or come right off easily.

right away soak it in water- this way it softens. then spray hot water on it till the water washes t off.

what does that mean? "tastes change"

I hope it's not another of those "they're doing x"? things

so that means I need to do x too?

ah phew. I was worried now we have to eat something because they're doing it.

I guess everyone's different. I've never liked cheese whiz even when I my tastes were less discriminating.
