A method of removing cooked-, baked-, or burnt-on food soil from cookware
and tableware comprising washing the cookware/tableware in an automatic
dishwashing machine in the presence of an organic solvent system having a
volatile organic content of less than about 50% by weight and a wash
liquor concentration of from about 100 ppm to about 10000 ppm. The method
includes the storage and delivery of organic solvent compositions and
dishwashing detergent composition from multi-compartment containers. The
method provides excellent removal of stubborn soils which are very
difficult to remove in a conventional automatic dishwashing process.
