Longjohn ★ Posted September 21, 2021 Share #8 Posted September 21, 2021 What kind of dirt did you have in the pan? If you were making Carolina reaper bombs jelly you should probably wash the pan throw the pan away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted September 21, 2021 Share #11 Posted September 21, 2021 The boiling will sterilize everything, so sure. Of course it may flavor it a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted September 21, 2021 Share #12 Posted September 21, 2021 That's why I lined my pan with aluminum foil when I had an apartment during college. It didn't matter what I made (probably nothing I'd want to eat now) for dinner. I only had 1 pan. And I didn't want to clean it out very often. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted September 22, 2021 Share #13 Posted September 22, 2021 I have in my possession some Carolina peppers you can cook with that will give it an acid bath and prep that sucker for the next fry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically a sanitation and flavor question. It's probably ok health-wise to boil things in a dirty pan because the heat kills the germs. It's probably not ok flavor-wise and texture-wise to add the remains of whatever was last cooked in the pan to your current food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
