💬 Uncle Dave says...
I have stopped washing my non-stick pans with soap. I try to get to them as soon as possible after using them, and I rinse them out under warm to hot water, and then wipe them out with a paper towel. It's not all that bad for a little grease to be left in it, and if there is, you will see it when you go to use it again. Just warm it up and wipe it out.

Unless you failed the "I'm not a robot" test, your recipes will probably not look like the ones in the pictures. See Creamy Turkey Veggie Soup to read more about AI images.
