What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

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.

If you clean the top after every use, then it'll never get bad enough to need this thing. Just an FYI, if you'd rather not stare at encrusted burn residue for another 6 years.

I don't necessarily clean after every use, but I do clean before the next use. I don't turn the stove on if it's dirty, that will bake the mess in. I might dirty all four burners and then decide "can't cook, stoves dirty," until I'm up for wiping it down with a wet paper towel. I think of it as a dish, I might not clean it right away, but I'm certainly not going to eat off it again before cleaning it.

Plus it'll burn and stink, instead of smelling your good home cooking.

I've made beer a few times, but I'm super meticulous when I do it because I don't want all that money and time to go to waste because of mistakes or contamination. So I've never had any serious beer making accidents.

I'm doing my first brew now. I underestimated the size of my brew pot and had a nice mess of LME burned onto the glass stove. That took forever to get out.

But hey, hopefully this oatmeal stout turns out well

True, but: I don't wanna.

They should make tiny stovetop Roombas that look like the robots from Batteries Not Included

Ahhhh it was so sad at the end when the building collapsed and the one baby was there trying to fit the tiles together to rebuild

[–] Raxiel@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Fair point, but this is one of those "if a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing badly" situations where just waving a towel at it still helps prevent stuff getting out of hand.

Of course this is easiest with induction because you don't need to wait for stuff to cool at all
