Here's a tip for soaking pans that don't quite fit all the way into the sink. (For me, that's anything 9x13 or longer!)

Rather than running a sink completely full of water (which sometimes would work), or setting a dangerously-full dish of water on the counter to soak, here's what I do!

First, I put the dish into the water, as best I can. Usually about half of the dish isn't underwater. The part of the dish that needs soaked but isn't underwater, I cover with a sopping-wet dish rag or two. This keeps the whole pan "soaking" and I don't have to later rotate the pan to soak the other half. :)

I hope this made sense... I kept planning to take a picture, but just haven't! :) Maybe tomorrow... my kitchen counter is FULL of dishes to be washed tomorrow! ;)
