I work in a restaurant as a cook...the grill has to be clean if there's not food on it...I can't stand to put new food on a grill that has crap on it...my spatula has to be scraped off if it has anything on it..the food has to be arranged rather neat on the plates, if it's not I make it..I do a lot of things the same way, so that it's the same every time and I never have to worry about it...it really trips me out sometimes, but thank god pot helps me refrain from doing a lot of things I would otherwise do due to it..
