Getting Stains Out of Food Chopper Lid

[chefannie1015]

Anyone have any ideas on how to get stains out of the food chopper lid. I made the strawberry amaretto pastries today and I think the lid was set down on some orange zest or strawberry juice. Now the lid has a bunch of orange/red stains on it. It figures, something like this would happen the first time I use it. I have my second show on Wednesday night and would really like to get the stains out before then.

Try Dawn Dissovle, the spray is great for removing stains.
If it doesn't work it can be replaced under warranty.

A little bleach should do the trick.

I'd suggested soaking it in a bleach solution.

Will this work for the measure-all cup???? My husband stuck mine in the sink with a pan soaking with spaghetti sauce...if mine was a little pinker than more red, it'd be ready for HWC month.

...and what about a bamboo spoon? Not sure if my customer used it to mix green or blue jello, or what!Sorry for borrowing your thread

I imagine bleach is the only thing that will work for the bamboo spoons. For the plastic stuff I'm a big fan of the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

You don't think it will soak in the bleach??

Sometimes it will. Sometimes it won't. The Magic Eraser is just another idea to try.

What about onion smell in the chopper lid? I wash it in the dishwasher, soak in water, soak it in lemon juice, vinegar and the smell lingers. Yuck....

Try a combination of baking soda with either lemon juice or vinegar. Place the lid inside a good-sized bowl. Basically fill the lid with the baking soda. Slowly pour in the liquid. It will fizz all over. Let it sit several hours; preferrably overnight.
