[quote=Anonymous]I will cook an entire meal in the same skillet, just cooking in order. Brown the meat, remove excess grease with a paper towel, if needed. use veggies/alliums to deglaze, add/create sauce, add meat back and heat to finish. I'm not going to stop and clean my pan in-between steps. That fond has good flavor; I want it in my dish.

If I'm cooking something completely different, I'll use a different pan. If I don't have a different pan, I'll wash and reuse one (but I cook a lot and have several pans, so this doesn't usually happen unless I'm cooking all day without running dishes between meals).

The only time I'll leave a dish and then reuse it later is if I'm doing something in grease and then doing the same thing again in a short amount of time. E.g. if I'm making myself a grilled cheese, and then plan to make grilled cheese for my kids in an hour when they're back from school/camp/sports/whatever, I might "save" the pan in the oven until they're home. I'm not going to use a pan for my grilled cheese today and then save it for tomorrow, or fry an egg in it in the morning and save it for grilled cheese at night.[/quote]
