She was doing hardcore parkour and knocked some Tupperware onto the stove. The stove that she had turned on.
Everyone is fine, but my stove is kinda fucked.
Our stove is so easy to turn on. I bump into it and flip on the gas accidentally pretty often. My curly tailed dog has as well. I need to figure that out.
How is she ever going to learn chemistry if you keep shutting down her experiments?
This is at least the second time I have heard this, you could never accidentally turn mine on. Sounds like there’s a lot of missing regulation in this space.
If it is a glass top stove, a razor blade scraper does wonders
It is. I’ll have to give that a try
A plastic razor blade scraper may help keep you from scratching your stove top. They’re easy to find on Amazon and other online stores. I’m not sure about physical store availability though
You won’t scratch your stovetop with a razor blade. The ceramic glass top is significantly higher up on the Mohs scale than the steel razor blade.
If GE/whatever company can be trusted it is. What isn’t though is the enamel paint that is on top of the glass that keeps the bottom of your pan from totally coming into contact with the glass.
You should really try a plastic scraper first.
The manufacturer literally recommends you use a regular razor blade in the manual. This is from a GE manual, since you brought them up:
And so does the manufacturer of the most popular ceramic glass material used. A plastic scraper won’t accomplish much, especially if the plastic it’s made out of is softer than whatever is stuck to your cooking surface.
The markings are etched into the glass, not painted.
Thanks for posting this. Holding the blade at the correct angle and putting the correct pressure on it is key.
Seconding the rec! I had a plastic melting incident last year and that fixed it right up.
Poor jelly!
She did not like the firemen.

Cat proof that shit.
Holy s, 30 bucks per knob though. I better be able to pass those down to my grandkids!
Oh wow, there are cheaper options, but they’re more annoying: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/safety-and-security/child-safety/5989181
(But less annoying than a burned down house)
Omg thank you
Good work Jelly. Maybe tomorrow you can achieve your dreams of being an outside cat.
