Clean an Oily Dish Without Soap - PEP BB nest.sand.oilydish

Here is my submission for this BB

We do not end up with very many oily dishes. This is about as good as it gets. Here is a plate that had spring rolls on it.

Here is my submission!

Greasy plate courtesy of bacon and eggs this morning.

Edit: Not sure why the photos uploaded in this order (1432). Also confused why mine was rejected because the submission directly above mine did not have picture descriptions either.

Requirements posted for reference.

- the oily dish after the meal is over
- the food scraps going into a compost or animal bucket (if applicable)
- the plate being wiped with a piece of paper for future fire starter
- the last bit of oil being removed with hot water
- the newly clean dish

Just an interesting anecdote about "squeaky clean"

In Japanese that sound of a dish squeaking as you wipe it is "kyutto" or "kyukkyu" (actually really hard to transliterate into English).

I was once cleaning up after a dinner event and was in a rush to get the dishes cleaned up. One of my guests was helping bring the dishes over while I was cleaning. She looked at me dubiously and offered to help. I said it's okay! She said "but the dishes don't say 'kyu'"

That made me reevaluate my dish cleaning and appreciate the meaning of squeaky clean.

Plate left after breakfast - mostly crumbs, marmalade and congealed butter.

Wipe with soggy newspaper - freebee paper left on front lawn during big rain

Paper goes in kitchen compost bin

Quick rinse in hot water
