 +===== cleaning =====
 +
 +
 +  * focus on single-pot meals so only one pot is dirty.  Eat out of the pot.
 +  * "deglaze" (add small amounts of water, broth, wine, etc) the hot pan to get as much flavor into your dish as possible((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/fc57bt/tips_for_washing_potsdishes_in_minivan/fj8rem2/))
 +  * either clean ASAP (oatmeal and other stuff that dries on) or soak
 +
 +
 +Scrambled eggs are notoriously difficult to get off pans.  Some techniques:
 +
 +  * don't eat scrambled eggs :-) consider poaching or hardboiling eggs to minimze cleanup
 +  * heat the pan, then add a bit of oil and allow to heat.   Spread evenly, cook.
 +  * after cooking, scrape off what you can with a flat wooden implement, then put a small amount of water (doesn't have to be potable) back into the pan and bring to a boil.  Simmer or allow to soak. Scrape again.
