I use to prepare mostly vegetables, often dressed with olive oil and exceptionally fried things with common cooking oil.
In any case that food is kept or prepared in tupperware-like containers (those made of translucid plastic material).
After meals, I use to leave them overnight, half filled with dish detergent and warm water. The washing is done, if I have no vessel to attend, early in the morning, or maybe, one day later. I never use cold or hot water.
There are cases when, no matter what, the containers after rinsing still show an oily surface and sometimes they are perfectly clean with no oily traces at all.
My questions:
a) why do I get so disparate results in spite that oil, detergent and containers are always more or less the same?
b) Is it possible that I am being too thrifty?
c) The solution (if that is the name) of detergent mixed with water should be expected to be still good for cleaning after few hours?
Now that I think of it, with glass and common chinaware I have not this problem. Does this by itself suggest something?
Domestic chores, not what I like.
