Bam. Squeeze a bunch of dish soap all over that mother. Imagine what you’re going to do with those extra hours of free time. You could paint, or work on your novel, go outside with your kids. Or watch Netflix.

Wipe it down. Don’t worry about actually cleaning off all the little grimy bits — you’re just spreading the soap all over the sides of the pan. Just make sure that you’ve rubbed a bit of soap into each little bit of food debris.

Remove the dryer sheet. Your sheet-y friend has done an honorable job in the line of duty. Take a sponge and wipe it all down — to your amazement, the food particles should simply wipe away with little resistence, after having been softened up by the dryer sheet.
