need handy kitchen tips

on removing hypothetical thick rubbermaid containers that have entirely melted onto a burner.  Ideally removing it so completely that the hypothetical company that will may or may not be arriving shortly will not have any idea.  Confused

  • I've melted a plastic bag on the coils in our current rental.  I pulled the coil out, and started by trying to scape off as much of the burnt plastic with a nylon scraper.  I then used a blue scrubbie (not the green ones, the greens ones scratch, I don't know what's different about the blue, but they don't scratch) and gave it a gentle scrub down with a baking soda/water paste and then rinse with a clean wash cloth.  Make sure you don't submerge the plugs.

    Good luck!

  • Phew, I'm pretty much good.  Thanks for the advice :)  I got as much off as I could when it was cold and then just went for it and burned it off.  Luckily I have a good ventilation system above the stove, and it's nice enough outside to open up the windows,  the little bit left on the drip catch part I'm slowly removing with boiling water and my super duper rubber gloves.  The house smells still smells like plastic :(

  • my stove was not a glass top, it had those ugly coil burners.

  • If I thought I could replace it in time I would have but where the heck do you find one coil burner?  my stove is ooooold.   It might have been easier than trying to get the smell out of the house though.Embarrassed
