No one understands.
Plates and everything are left in the greasy sink.
Dirty pots full of greasy water are put on the hob, often for an entire day. He doesn't lift them out for any reason apart from just...... well, I have no idea why. They just sit there making the kitchen look filthy whereas at least in the sink they're out of the way.

I tend to dump things in the sink and then wash them if they don't magically wash themselves. But sitting filthy pots and sloshing greasy water all over the hob for no reason is surely worse?

I might be alone in this, but I can't stand that gathering of greasy water and the inevitable reach-in to pull out the plug, coating your hands in whatever the hell everyone in the house ate today while bobbing for knifecuts.

I wash my dishes in running water, and resoap frequently.

EDIT: Er, whoops. Was meant to be a general reply, not specifically to yours. Oh well.

ok my reasoning
has been that putting the pan back on the cooker with water on breaks up/softens the baked-on crap. As the element is cooling (blardy electric hobs, pffffft).

But come to think of it, I've no idea if it actually works or not, just logically and subconsciously has been something I've done. Might just be ingrained that you don;t put pots on the counter tops in case they scorch it.

To me, putting the pots in the sink clogs it up, and I only have to lift them out to wash the rest of the stuff first.

Thanks for making me question my practices!
