[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well that is gross. I will re-use a pan immediately for the same meal when it makes sense - like sautéing mushrooms and onions and then taking them out, adding more oil and putting in the chicken. Or cooking eggs after making bacon and wiping off most of the excess grease. But like cooking and then putting the pan back in the cabinet? Never. [/quote]

This is the only acceptable answer. Anything else is disgusting. As my mother would say, were you raised in a barn?[/quote]

+2.  I will reuse a pot or pan without cleaning during the same meal prep, basically up to about a half hour.  If there has been any food in the pot/pan and it sits for more than about a half hour, it gets washed.  Even for something like pancakes, there may still be some food or oil residue that is on the pan, even if you can't see it.  Pathogenic bacteria that may be floating around in the air can  land there and grow.  It isn't likely, but it can happen.  The more frequently you do this, the more likely that at some point, someone may get sick.  Over hundreds of uses, why risk it when there is a known way to prevent it that only takes a few seconds.[/quote]
