I had lost hope with my electric cooking plates. The white circles where completely hidden under a layer of diamond-grade burn residue that no amount of scrubbing with chemicals could even begin to remove. I found this 3€ scrapping tool and it’s amazing !!! Sorry, but I don’t have the before picture, believe me after 6 years of usage, it was bad.
Literally blind forever?
I knew lye was dangerous but that sounds EXTREMELY dangerous.
AND it reacts with aluminum to create hydrogen!
Yeah that actually is another good point to it if you use it on aluminum it will erode the surface. If my quarter sheet pans get out of control I’ll do it to them a couple of times and sand them back down before I recycle them.
yes, don’t fuck around with corrosive chemicals. Strong acids or bases will destroy tissues with ease, especially if they’re not protected by skin (which also gets dissolved but more slowly)
