Spotlight on Baking Soda #3: Handwash Dishes, Pots & Pans

For cooked-on foods, fill or cover grimy part of pots and pans with hot water. Add a sprinkle of baking soda  and a small squirt of dish detergent to each pot and pan. Use your best judgement regarding amounts, but you really don't need that much. Allow to soak. Then use dry baking soda on a damp sponge or cloth as a scratch-less scouring powder.

You can also pre-soak rinsed dishes in a sink full of hot water, baking soda, and dish detergent.

Now you're totally ready to bake vegan lasagna and do the dishes too!
