Personally, I would avoid it because things that are too big to fit in the sink are awkward to wash, even if I don't soak them.

- mattmaroon 14y agoI get a soapy sponge and scrub it off. I don't know what I need a sink for anyway. I don't want to get it as wet as it would if I ran it under the faucet. (Then I sanitize with vinegar/water and then coat with mineral oil. Cooking for engineers skips the sanitizing step and glosses over the oil.)
- randallsquared 14y agoAfter you've put soap on it, you need to rinse it before moving to the next step, right? Seems like it would take a lot of wiping (and rinsing of the sponge) to get to the same level of confidence about lack of soap as a simple rinse of whatever you're cleaning. Does the vinegar displace soap, or something?
- Robin_Message 14y agoThis may be surprising, but you don't actually need to rinse off dish soap. Hell, at home we don't even dry thing up, just leave them to drain and evaporate. Never noticed any kind of residue or flavour.
- mattmaroon 14y agoI just wipe it off with a wet paper towel. I never notice any residue or flavor doing that. I figure if I'm not tasting the vinegar I spray on after, I'm definitely not tasting some dish soap. I also use a very light natural dish soap. YMMV if you're using one with strongs scents/chemicals.
