    Hot water seems to remove oils and grease better- I always assumed the heat made them more liquid so easier to clean than if they were solid?

    yes and it is to do with the way that they melt into the hot water I guess also if you are using any type of washing up liquid too.

    Helps to dry them off faster, IMO !

    Rosalind Franklin was my first cousin and one my life's main regrets is that I never met this brilliant and beautiful lady.
    She discovered the Single DNA Helix in 1953, then it was taken by Wilkins without her knowledge or agreeement.
