/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I think that this is just wasting of time and water.
The "stuff" will dry on it and when you pour water in it using next day to make soup it will get soft and will cook with the new ingredients and spices.
I leave my pot uncovered to dry but I don't wash it every time and I'm doing that for almost a year now and never had to wash my pot,
as long as you leave it open so the air will dry it inside nothing bad will grow in it from few dried up pieces of spices.
Why to waste time or water?
