"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The only thing that comes to mind is "drip pans", but that's more for oven roasters.

I think they're also called burner pans.

So...how do you clean them when they're nastified after not being cleaned, ever, for an amount of time I'm ashamed to even type? Steel wool not cutting it.

Just buy new ones? They're probably cheap, huh?

I blame goddamn FlyLady. (I also want a Rubba Sweepa now. A LOT.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ginger, what brand?

Teppy, I think they're called spill catchers. At least that's what I call them.

I used a Mr. Clean magic eraser on mine, and it worked brilliantly.

You can buy cheap, aluminum protectors that can be tossed when the get nasty.

Teppy, they are very cheap to replace. Soaking them overnight might help if you really want to try and clean them. Otherwise, I have found that if you replace them getting these slightly pricier coated ones means they'll be easier to clean next time around.

I think that's what's called for. These are...I think we created charcoal on them. We could burn them for fuel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think they did do a colonscopy, though, so there has been some testing.

Oh, that's good. I kept having to talk my family down from going postal at most of the medical profession, but truth is, that first doc really fucked up. Totally missed the tumour.

He called to apologise while she was recuperating in hospital. I guess Hallmark doesn't make a card for that?

So glad to know I am not the only person this has happened to.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have used spray-on oven cleaner for getting that kind of gunk off, but you need to make sure you have ventilation and you keep any pets away.
