I read about this trick a few weeks ago, but just had my first opportunity to try it yesterday.
When you have some stubborn baked on food stuck to your pot/pan/crock what have you try using dishwasher detergent instead of dish soap.
Put some dishwasher granules in the pot to be cleaned and fill with hot water to soak overnight. The next morning wash as usual. Most, if not all the hard stubbon stuck on stuff will come right out with little or no scrubbing.
I made a crock pot meal (which was lousy, but that is for another thread) and it overcooked and really baked stuff on there good. I was NOT looking forward to cleaning it as it was a serious mess. Well I tried this trick and it worked amazingly well. I still did need to go after a few tougher spots with a scrubby, but I only needed to go over them, not really scrub them. This trick saved me a lot of elbow grease. Give it a shot next time you have something that needs a soak to clean.
