How to remove melted cheese from a saucepan
Melted cheese on the base of a saucepan is a nightmare to remove. Worse, the removed cheese sticks to your scourer becoming a ‘breeding ground’ for germs.
Watching a BBC Horizon programme on ‘how to commit the perfect murder gave me the perfect solution to this problem.
Acid bath murderers had in the passed been foiled due to the fact that the acids of choice (e.g. sulfuric acid) will not dissolve fat, and, in the notorious 1940s Haigh case, gall-stones and a vinyl handbag were not dissolved.
The solution given was to dissolve the remaining fat using a biological detergent, whose enzymes will ‘break down’ the fat, leaving, I assume a solution of some kind.
Taking the best practices of serial killers to heart, I poured a teaspoon of biological detergent into a cheese-stained pan that had foiled the scourer, into warm water.
Left overnight, the cheese had ‘gone’ completely.
