Any tips on cleaning melted plastic?

Tap and die and sum WD40

Off ceramic? Use a single edged razor for ceramic, polished stone, and glass. Also useful for killing yourself if you get any more stupid. Do not set objects on burners.

WD40 and a razor blade worked pretty well. Anything I can do about the discoloration on the metal?

>>13113657
Yeah, fire.

There are decarbonizing agents that they sell just to remove stuff from industrial kitchenware, but it's probably not worth the price (40 USD before shipping if I remember right). Something you can probably try is what I'm doing right now removing surface rust from patina'd steel without damaging it, mixing thin oil with graphite from pencils. Obviously you're not going to want to scratch at it with a pointed pencil, but gently rubbing on it with worn down flat-lead carpenter's pencil (fat as fuck) will probably remove it without removing the paint.

Looked like Dinotendies stove for a sec but it's not.

You might get ten bucks at the recycling center for it, by weight of course.

How did you manage to turn it off, since the corresponding knob was also on fire?

I mean melted. I see the extinguisher.

Did he died?

He probably put it out, then turned the knob. Notice the knob is shattered too.

By the way if you plan on salvaging the stove, and you probably can, as seen in the thread, knobs are easily replaceable as well.

Ive only had one kitchen accident in my time and it was also a fire. I was making stir fry and I let my wok get too hot with oil in it because I got distracted. luckily all that happened was it charred the plastic over the lightbulb in the hood. sadly the hood is now half black

Come on, anon. Think.

Blessed shitpost

You are retarded. Also that range is garbage if it has the ability to destroy itself with its own heat. But let me once again emphasize, you are definitely retarded.

Brilliant. The smell should have been memorable.

4 4s demand it

>>13114315
There was enough knob left to turn off the stove
>>13114401
Im sure it still work fine. I haven't tried yet because I spent all last night cleaning the kitchen from all the fire extinguisher powder. I can get a new knob

>>13114480
I doubt it's destroyed. Just melted a knob from when the spatula caught fire

>>13114444
Nice quads. I'll run the self clean

>>13113643
Turning on the wrong burner, that I can understand, but why in the world would you drop a plastic spatula on a burner?

>>13113643
You might get one of those magic erasers. It should help get some of the stains.

I had a bad habit of keeping utensils on the stove as I'm using them. Live and learn
>>13116369
Kek if it happened that way it would've definitely been worth it

chek'd and kek'd

My sister used to keep a separate induction hotplate kind of thing on top of the stovetop (rendering half of the stove unusable so she could boil water a couple minutes faster).

I was visiting for the holidays, got drunk and started cooking and set the thing on fire the same way as OP. Frankly, I think I did that dumb bitch a favor.
