A cheap plastic putty knife is so much better at scraping dirty dishes than anything marketed as a pan scraper.
Welcome to Clean Enough, a new kind of cleaning column for busy home cooks who have better things to do than scrub and sanitize around the clock.

I do a lot of painting and patching projects on the crumbly plaster walls of my 107-year-old house.
In that moment, though, some combination of laziness, curiosity, and ingenuity inspired me to tackle my dirty dishes with the tool that was already in my hand. I sprayed the crusty Colby Jack with warm water to soften it a bit and then started scraping. But I didn’t have to scrape for long because my cheap paint-prep tool did a better job of dislodging cooked-on cheese than any other pan-scraping tool I’d ever tried.
