Soaking 101 - The Art of Soaking

Soaking: the art of submerging an object in a liquid, often for the purpose of cleaning, cooking, or just plain old relaxation. It's like meditation, but wet.

Basic Soaking Techniques

1. Hold the object over the water's surface and gently place it into the liquid.

2. Allow the object to fully submerge for a minimum of 5 seconds.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the desired level of wetness is achieved.

Common Soaking Mistakes to Avoid

1. Over-soaking - don't let the object become too wet or you'll end up with mush.

2. Under-soaking - you'll never get the desired level of wetness.

3. Soaking with a sponge - that's just lazy.

Soaking can be a delicate balance of art and science. Don't get it wrong, or you'll end up with a mess.
