How to Remove Oil Stains from Utensils Easily

Oil stains on steel and non-stick cookware can feel impossible to fully remove with just a quick rinse — they need a slightly different approach than everyday washing.

A short soak in warm water with a little dish soap loosens baked-on oil, and a soft scrub afterward lifts it without scratching the surface.

For daily oil-heavy cooking, having dedicated help with dishes keeps this from turning into a weekend-long backlog.
