lessons from fox's kitchen

[fox]

So it turns out? That if you take a hot skillet that you've just seared a brisket in, and you put dish soap in it by itself without any water? that the soap burns and makes a really nasty smoke. (Ask me ~wheeze~ how I know.)

Opened the windows, put the fan on, most crucially threw some water in the pan, did not die. But yoiks.

nlanza reports that he has done this, and also says not to put a damp, soapless sponge on a hot skillet. He says the water evaporates out of the sponge and then the sponge starts melting and it smells awful.
