I decided to attempt my own "Spicy Pineapple Rum Sauce" recipe yesterday. It turned out pretty well but still needs some changes. In fact I'm changing the name of this one to Sweet n Spicy Tropical Sauce since I've veered off the original ingredients and don't want to get in trouble with HO just in case. (It does use a lot of good tools, though!)
Soooooo - what does this have to do with the Pan Scraper? Even though I had it in a pretty tall pot, the bubbling,sugary brew managed to splash out onto my cooktop.
By the time I noticed the multiple splatters they were (very) bonded to the surface.
I tried boiling hot water ... a water-soaked towel on it overnight ... that white cleanser they recommend plus a srubber ... olive oil then turning on the burner ... more white cleanser ... I even tried "Goo Gone", mindful that it could cause a minor or major explosion if I turned on the burner (can you tell I'm depserate at this point??) ... more white cleanser with plastic over it to smother it real good ... FINALLY ... a light came on and I tried the Beautiful Pan Scraper. Voila! And it's clean, along with some other spots I'd already given up on. (They should provide those scrapers when you buy a cooktop!)
SO ... turns out it was already on the "70 Uses for .." List. So in order to help spread the gospel, I reaarranged the old list into categories. See attached. I think it's a nice allegory for the multitudes of uses for all of TPC products ... This is going to be my door prize in the future ...
