To say there MUST be an easier way to...

...clean egg off saucepans.

Cooking scrambled eggs or poached eggs makes no difference - there is always this horrible egg residue left on the pot. I use either stainless steel or copper pots and would hate to scratch them, so I use the non-abrasive scouring pads to clean them but my goodness it takes forever!

There MUST be a better way

Immediately put in water after cooking. Leave in water. Swish in the evening or the next day or something.

I have a plastic brush shaped like a duck.

Gets everything off my pans.

Use a glass pan!

Soak in cold water. Use spatula to scrape off solids (into bin). Wash as normal.

AS much as I hate them, I always use my non-stick pan for scrambled eggs. It's just not worth the washing up hassle that you are experiencing.

On normal saucepans, stainless steel I mean, I use those fabulous wiry balls which work a treat on anything tricky.

Microwave or non-stick.

• silicone spatula!

Cook the scrambled egg in a glass bowl over boiling water.

Non stick pan if possible, and whatever you do don't let any egg residue dry on - get it washed up or in to soak straight away.
