Default Anybody else use the oven as a dryer for pots and pans?


I got up early this morning to fire up the Weber to smoke two Boston butts. The roasting pan those cuts were resting in came in and got a washing then I turned on the oven to bake some brownies. While the oven was preheating I put the clean roasting pan in there to dry and free up dish drainer space.

While the brownies were baking I was washing dishes and washed a new spring form pan I had bought and there was a good size Corning ware dish that needed soap and water on it as well. About the time I was through with these two items the brownies came out of the oven and it was turned off. Into that hot oven these three pieces went to dry and dry quickly I might add.

Anybody else use pre-heating or residual oven heat to dry large kitchen baking pots and pans?

Never used it to dry anything, but frequently will warm plates. While
the roast is resting, the dinner plates are warming.

I frequently do this. It's wasteful to not do this. I don't turn on the oven to dry pans though, that would be wasteful too. We also use the oven to store pans.

Yes, the residual oven heat, frequently. But not when we have company,
or the baking dish is also the serving dish -- the oven cools off before
the meal and dishwashing is over.

I'm never in so much of a rush to get dishes or pans dry, but I HAVE popped in a tray of broken up bread crumbs into a still warm oven, close the door, and get em nice an dry before whirling in my small FP. You can count on me to then say "That's what they call fine, dry bread crumbs." Then, into the freezer they go. I can't imagine anyone spending money of bread crumbs, but.........

My dishes and pans usually spend the night on a towel on the counter or in the dish drainer - they are bone dry in the morning and I file them away then while the coffee is brewing.

I try not to leave that stuff waiting either. So easy to put off but
it's very nice to wake up in the morning or come home from work and
all of it is already done.

I do the same, they take up too much room in the rack and the
stove is a step away. Also I think it's safer to put the
non stick skillets on the stove rather than rishing them
scratching being balanced on the dish rack. I guess that's
left over from when non stick pans were a lot more fragile and
the coating would flake off if you looked at it funny.

I hear you. I've met a lot of people like that. I can sleep
just fine if there are dishes in the drainer, or rather, they
have absolutely nothing to do with me sleeping or not.

And as far as ASAP, I don't do the dishes right after I eat,
generally. Hey, I just ate, the dishes will be there in a half
hour, the Queen isn't on her way over. Maybe I'll put some hot
water in a pot and put the lid on to steam.

Made her happy, what the heck. We'd make terrible roommates,
though.

Me too. I hate going into the kitchen in the morning and find even
one dirty glass in the sink... ruins my day.

I can't bear to leave dirty dishes after eating. I have to do them or I
can't relax

IME it etches all glassware. Pyrex jugs and bowls are especially
vulnerable as are my cheapo wine glasses. I always hand wash my Riedel
wine glasses.

Why? They dry on the rack in a few minutes since presumably you used hot
water to clean them with.

I've got them as well, smartass. I was asking if anyone else used the oven, while it's preheating or after baking to dry large pots and pans and save some time and/or dish drainer space. Why waste time drying if you've already got heat that will dry those utensils faster than rubbing them with a towel? And I'm talking about a dish towel and not a bath towel that you've dried your butt with.

I think we still have a couple of them hidden in the linen closet. If
it is not dried in the DW, it air dries on the counter or stove.

I can understand why Sheldon prefers to rub things with a cloth, rather
than wait for a process to occur naturally. In my experience, "towel dry"
is seldom "really dry," so I let the air do the work.

The only exception is things that are concave on both sides, like coffee
mugs. I will put the mug upside down in the drainer and wipe the now-top,
because that puddle would take a long time to evaporate.

I only towel dry if I need to use something again right away.

No. I rarely use the oven, so there isn't often any residual heat at my
disposal.

Everything that will fit goes in the dishwasher.

After I wash the roasting pan, I leave it on the cooktop or (if I expect my
husband will use the stove soon) on the dining table to finish drying.

You need better towels, cheap polyester won't do it. I use linen dish
towels, very absorbant.

How difficult is it to dry a pan with a towel and put back where it
belongs... can't take more than 10 seconds.
