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.
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.
You sound fun lol
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.
