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.

    I’m not convinced about your instructions. Applying a thin layer of oil then buffing it then washing it back off? That doesn’t make any sense. Modern dish soaps are very good at cleaning thin oil films. Why oil it then wash the oil off? Idk like I said.

      The amount of oil on the surface that you need to stop rust is on the molecular level.

      Do it, don’t do it, whatever suits you, That’s what I do and it works for me.

        … yeah surfactants are molecules too… I’m thinking I’ll not, as someone with a proper material science education. No shade, just, you’re definitely not correct, or maybe your house uses bacon grease as dish soap.

          house uses bacon grease as dish soap.

          I’m no materials scientist, just some guy on the internet who wants to make sure there isn’t a revolutionary idea missed in they throwaway comment.
