If hot water holds alot of bacteria, why do we wash our pans with it?

and everything else!!!


lol..





thx.If hot water holds alot of bacteria, why do we wash our pans with it?
Semi-solids dissolve faster under hot water. Also, it's assumed that you're using clean water and rinsing several times, so the bacteria go bubbye in the sink. If you used cooler water, it's not likely it would kill the bacteria in and of itself, and it wouldn't free as many lodged particles from the pan as hot water does. Also, that's why you should be using a soap or detergent of some sort.If hot water holds alot of bacteria, why do we wash our pans with it?
cuts grease better, and the soap kills off the bacteria
it holds less bacteria than cooler water and it dissolves solids much faster.----a good trick for cleaning pans that won't come clean is to put water in them with some baking soda and reheat the pan, this is great, it saves so much energy and rpobably alot of water too.
well...the closer you get to outside of the range of temps conducive to bacterial growth, the better. on the hotter side is always better because less bacteria can survive in hot temperatures vs. cold temperatures. to get to a cold temp outside of the danger zone (40-140 degrees F), you would be close to freezing. a person could stand 120 degrees at the most without burning themself by the water, which is why it's good to get some dish gloves so you can make the water hotter. dishwashers (the appliance) sanitize with even hotter water that's well above the danger zone temps. plus...if you get antibacterial dish soap, that takes care of bacteria while warm water helps wash the food from the dishes.
