For remote washing up:
1) Use one pan for food, one pan for boiling water. Always eat your meal from the food pan - saves washing a plate
2) Cook meal number 1 and make sure you eat as much as possible - don't bother washing the pan though - put it on one side until required for meal number 2
3) choose your menu such that meal number 2 will mix with the burnt residues from meal number 1.
4) repeat steps 2 and 3 as required. Over the course of the week you'll find that the volume of the pan reduces slightly as the layers build up. However, I've always found enough room left
5) take pan home at the end of the trip and leave in the washing up pile by the sink. You may need to keep returning it from the waste bin a few times where it seems to migrate
6) Eventually, your other half will give up the battle, succumb and wash the pan for you
