I cooked a Cornish Game Hen meal for Thanksgiving today. One of the things that Lisenby taught me when we were cooking complex meals was to clean up as we went along. I washed dishes 3 times today as I was preparing the meal, including once because I cleaned out some large dishes from the refrigerator and put the contents in smaller dishes. I allowed the dishes to drain dry, and put them away when they were dry. When I was done cooking and eating my Thanksgiving meal, there was very little clean up left to do.
It might seem wasteful to use soapy water three times. But, on the other hand, many of the dishes I was washing were greasy, so the soapy water lost its effectiveness quickly, anyway.
