My submission for cleaning a oily dish without soap. I clean my plate well (thanks Mom), so it was basically oil and liquid from veggies left on my plate. Nothing for compost or worm bin, etc.

I cooked bacon for breakfast, let the pan cool, then cleaned it. I scraped the fat into the compost bowl, wiped it with some paper, then gave a quick rinse with hot water and a wipe.

I had some lovely risotto in a bowl, and cleaned it according to this badge. I scraped the excess into a compost tub, wiped it with paper towels to later be used as firestarters, then added hot water and scrubbed it with a bit of steel wool. I rubbed a few spots with my finger, and then it was clean enough to reflect my phone as I took a photo.

It's a bit of a cheat, I think, as it skips the need to even use paper to clean out oil to make a fire starter, so I doubt it counts (I can hope!). But if you use hardwood ash when scrubbing an oily/fatty dish, it can turn the fat/oil itself into a kind of primitive soap, which can then effectively clean the dish. Like I said, it skips the paper step & it does TECHNICALLY make a primitive soap in the process, so if it won't count let me know. But I think this hardwoodash method is a very permaculturey solution to the fatty/oily dish problem.

Posted on my permies diary as well.

There were no food scraps so no need to post a pic of scraps going into compost or animal bucket.

I didn't say it. I'm just telling you what this tiny ad said.
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars
