I have always missed having a nice deep slop sink in the laundry area. My current method takes a lot of time and water.

Since pots nest together fairly snug, I wouldnt think that would be effective. Instead, heres 2 options that might be a little more efficient.

1. 5 Gallon Bucket, or similar. Fill with bleach water. Dip pots in and right back out. Rinse pots.

2. Fill a spray bottle with bleach water. Spray pots. Rinse.

If im not mistaken, bleach water only has to make contact with the surface for a couple seconds. So no need to actually soak the containers.
