Common mistakes worth dodging

- Letting residue harden. crisp a small batch of fries left sitting on this tool turns a thirty-second rinse into a scrubbing project. Clean promptly; the hacks above all assume it starts clean, and this is why. The best time to start was day one; the second-best time is today.
