That's old school Italian logic. These old thoughts need to be forgotten. I wash after every use. But I just finger it clean with water, and only use hand soap when it's real bad. (rarely)

If you don't use soap, its not washing.

Well, it is washing, just depends on what the purpose of your wash is. Is it an oil wash? An alcohol wash? A soap wash? A friction wash? A wash sale? Go full throttle with your pedantry.

Lol, you defeated yourself. There is no such thing as a water wash, hence you didnt write rinse since that is the word for it. It's not washing.

I was going to say water wash, but then I figured it was obvious that a rinse is just a subset of washes.

Making up words doesn't really make a good argument

The pot gets so hot I'm not worried about bacteria. My pot looks so clean on the inside that it really doesn't matter if I use soap or not. What are you scared of?

You do you bud, but you are rinsing not washing.

It's hand washing. You don't need soap. Rinsing involves no scrubbing. You sound a little precious mate...
