in both the cooking pot and particularly the colander is difficult to clean without hand scrubbing it. i am curious if anyone knows a solution - either a method or product that makes clean-up quicker and easier. thanks for any ideas you may have!
soaking in water works for me. put the colander in the pot, fill it with water - preferably before it dries out in the first place - and then leave it alone until you are ready to do the dishes, whether that's after dinner or (gasp!) in the morning. either way the starch will slip off easily.
in my opinion, the most important part is to rinse immediately
