    Buying glass containers was a gamechanger for me.

    One swoop - and it’s clean. No grease sticks, it washes even easier than ceramic plates.

    Plastic is a terrible container material for greasy foods.

        Mine typically outlast the little snap tabs on their plastic lids.

        Was my concern at first, but it just didn’t happen to me in my time using it, and glass looks sturdy and thick enough to survive it anyway. Didn’t test tho.

    Either your dish soap sucks ass, or your technique does if washing doesn’t get rid of grease and oil the first time.

    Everytime i still feel the oil on the container, i’ll just wash my sponge and squeeze some a fresh new dish soap and wash with it. Usually clean afterward, it’s almost always the grease-soaked sponge.

      It’s either that, or not rinsing the dirty dishes with tap water before starting the soap-cleaning procedure. Salt, in particular, totally wrecks the cleaning power of the soap. There’s an entire science around this, actually.

      I find that it’s more effective to put detergent on the dish, scrub with wet sponge, rinse. That keeps the detergent at high concentration at the surface, where the action happens. Detergent on the sponge, on the other hand, tends to migrate away towards the center of the sponge.

      I switched from soaping the sponge to soaping the dish like 10 years ago and never looked back.

    In this scenario I would add some dishwasher powder to some hot water and leave it for a while, the enzymes digest the fats and can be much more effective in some circumstances

    Have you considered it is not the dish but perhaps your greasy sausage fingers?

    Food for thought.

    Saw a cool trick on IG, bit wasteful but works if you really want to save the container (I agree we should switch away from plastics - someday…). Piece of paper towel or napkin, drop of dish soap, a splash of hot water, close tight and shake thoroughly so the paper goes all around the inside, remove paper, rinse, wash normally.

    Should get glass or metal containers if you can afford it or if you can sneak them into your bag/inner coat pocket.

    • jnod4@lemmy.ca ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Can you microwave the metal ones? Aren’t you gonna burn your hands off when you try to remove them from microwave? Can the ceramic one survive being put in a shared fridge where people might drop your lunchbag when they try to pull out yours? Will it survive in a pannier bag on a bike on a commute?

      Plastic wins in many of my scenarios

        Can you microwave the metal ones?

        You really shouldn’t be microwaving food in plastic. A lot of them claim to be safe for the microwave, which is technically true. However pretty much all plastics degrades and become volatile under a certain amount of heat, and microwave ovens can become very hot in very unpredictable ways.

        Most plastics will start to undergo polymer deformation around 200 degrees and start to release volatile organic compounds, which is a pretty normal temp for your average microwave over to regularly get to.

    Pro tip: use actual soap, the one you wash your hands with. Works way better for oils.

      I would expect them to have a shitload of alkalines in them, not acid… Acids dont do much to fat, and bar soap is alkaline

      source
      • SlurpingPus@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I started thinking that surely you’re right, remembering that alkaline bile helps digest lipids. But, hard soap does in fact contain over 70% fatty acids while ultimately somehow being alkaline.

    its the same taking a bath. after the first swipe, youre wiping with that filth in a steadily increasing amount. the dirt never goes completely away in a tub

      Bath is for soaking, shower first. And add some bath salts.

    Did you use hot burning water?

      Water doesn’t get hot enough, that’s why i usually wash plastic containers in hot frying oil

      source
      • roserose56@lemmy.zip ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I would suggest lava then.

    I assume you’re washing with warm to hot water?
