How to grease a baking tin quickly with no mess

If you've been around here for a while then you will know that I am a self-professed lazy one.

I used to take offence when people called me lazy but these days I totally embrace it. I think of being lazy as a positive thing. It means that if there is an easier or quicker way to do something, I will find it. Who doesn't want a quicker or easier way to do something?

Enter my dishwasher hack i.e. how to grease a baking tin quickly with no mess.

I'll leave it to the video but basically, you pop your tin over the top rack of the dishwasher, spray it and let the dishwasher catch the extra oil the close it up and you're good to go - no mess!
