Why can using hot water to clean greasy cookware be dangerou

Have you ever thought that washing a greasy pan with hot water can affect the lifespan of your pan? You’ve cooked your favorite meal and now it’s time to clean your greasy pan? Many of us often assume that hot water can instantly dissolve grease and remove odors. But the truth is, this method isn’t always the best. It can damage your cookware. Hot water doesn’t work the same way for all kitchen utensils. While hot water can help soften grease, it can also be harmful to your plumbing system. When dirty water enters the pipes and cools, the grease solidifies again and sticks to the pipes, increasing the likelihood of blockages and costly plumbing repairs over time. Therefore, using hot water to clean a greasy pan can not only damage your pan, but it can also cause problems for your plumbing system. In addition, sudden changes in temperature can cause thermal shock, especially if you are cleaning a non-stick or cast iron pan. Washing these types of pans with hot water immediately a...
