I haz powr toolz

Question for the kitchen-inclined:

Taking the orbital sander to a pizza stone that has had a run-in with baking beets - good idea or disaster waiting to happen?  Or both?



Oh, and just for giggles, and because [personal profile] interactiveleaf did it first, folks on my friends list can now add and edit tags on my posts.  Have fun.

[profile] gyesika, do you have plans for the party tonight?  I'd forgotten until today, but I can ask to use the car if you like/need me to.  No guarantees that I can borrow it, though.

I have a ride.

I'm sorry, I just wasn't sure what was going on. :}

No, that's cool. What time are you heading out there?

[identity profile] gyesika.livejournal.com 2008-07-26 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'l be out after 8:00. :D

From this post: "A scouring pad will remove most burned bits. However, if the accumulation is heavy, like excessive oil, then a thorough sanding with a hard abrasive, like emery paper, may be necessary. An electric belt sander will work well to clean the stone."

So, belt sander, orbital sander...your orbital will probably give you a finer finish, so I'd go for it.

Thanks

How are you doing, sweets? Would you like together, maybe tomorrow evening?

Could I hop in on this? I'd love to see both of you and miss our chats at Epoch ...

At the moment, I am fine...[redacted]

I'd love to join you two, but I've got plans already, having dinner with JM & M. Rain check? I'm craving a mojo.

(FYI, I know you won't forget to wear a mask in addition to the safety goggles.)

I can entirely empathize on the [redacted]. Seriously.

I was wondering how somone would answer the pizza stone question. I don't have a sander but if that works, can I borrow yours when you're done. :P Mine has an accumulation of gradieu...say it with me...gra dju...

Absolutely. :)

I'd reach for the Easy Off before the power tools. If it will get carbonized praline off, it'll get anything off.

I worry about chemical leaching with the oven cleaner - I bake bread directly on the stone fairly often, and dough sucks up stuff. It may come to that, though.

Someone commented elsewhere they were able to clean their stone by running it through their oven's self-cleaning cycle.
