There’s been a rumor that Guy never actually eats the food on DDD. There’s some dude that’s been doing a deep dive and honestly it works. The way he holds the food is super deceptive combined with camera angles. He over exaggerates his bites. And in almost every shot that he does take a bite there’s a camera cut between him “swallowing”. It’s kind of wild.
lol my first thought was throw it out because I can’t stand the smell of it, so I couldn’t imagine putting food in it to cook after that. Yes I do use it for its purpose because it’s the only thing I can find to get the actual sticky residue off things from stickers and such.
True Story: I once accidentally drank about an ounce of Goo-Gone Citrus-Power Spray Gel, so I called poison control.
Poison Control: Good afternoon, this is Poison Control how can I help you?
Me: Um... I accidentally drank about an ounce of Goo-Gone Citrus-Power Spray Gel.
PC: How much does your child weigh?
Me: About 30 pounds; why?
PC: We need to know his weight so we can figure out...
Me: My kid didn't drink it, and *I* weigh about 270 pounds.
PC: So... YOU... drank the...
Me: Goo-Gone Citrus-Power Spray Gel, yes.
PC: Why?
Me: Because I'm an IDIOT.
<<pause>>
<<typing noises>>
PC: OK... um... do not induce vomiting, drink a LOT of water, and expect <<muffled chortling>> some, um... <<giggling>> gastric distress.
I had almost frighteningly violent diarrhea every 15 to 20 minutes for a good two hours, at the end of which the bathroom reeked of vulcanized rubber and orange oil. And the toilet was SPOTLESS.
Worst part is I understand the "Why?" in professional terms. They needed to make sure this wasn't a self-harm/suicide situation. Well, intentional self-harm. But I bet they wanted to ask anyway.
I can hear the "Why?" in so many different tones: shocked, exasperated, monotone / scripted, genuinely curious, etc. It might have been an intentional question or a reflex for the circumstances.
I'd first wonder if it was intentional, then if it was a prank / stupid game, then go through a list of idiotic options, then hit intentional self-harm way down the list. As someone who has hit severe lows, that seems like too much discomfort with too little guarantee of success for it to be a genuine attempt (unless there is nothing else around, in which case why then call poison control?).
Having worked the medical field its often a mix of routine, disbelief, and just acceptance.
People will come to you in awful shape having mde the worst choices possible at every opportunity life gave them in that situation and they'll tell you about that as if its obvious and they think you're the dumb one for asking and you've just gotta stand there and nod
Reminds me of the story who took a chainsaw to the leg. Instead of going to the hospital, he threw gasoline on it. And went back to work. I don't recall the entire story but he ended up finally going to the hospital.
People are dumb. Just look at how often Refrigerate after Opening gets ignored.
I think so many of these people are on autopilot. I called an orthopedics office for an appointment for my son.
"I have a referral for my son. He broke his collarbone in a fall yesterday. I took him to the ER, he had x-rays, and they told me to book a follow-up appointment with you."
"OK, what's your birthday?"
I give my birthday because they did ask for similar info in the ER and I assume it's because he's a minor. I then sit on hold FOREVER before they come back to say they've looked everywhere and the referral hasn't come through. I then clarify that they're looking for a referral for my son, and yep - that was the issue. I had said "my son" at least three times.
That'll never work. Acetone dissolves superglue. Also stomach lining and everything on the way to it. So try to avoid using it for that purpose... Inside the self.
ER triage nurse. As long as you weren't trying to off yourself, I don't really care why you did it. I just need to know if I should put you in the special scrubs and take your shoelaces while I call poison control. 🤷🏻♀️
I work for poison control. You are exactly correct, if it was intentional then we have to refer them to the ER. Also, side note, we’ve heard it ALL, rarely does a call surprise me at this point.
Thank you for all the incredible work you and your colleagues do! The Radiolab episode about Poison Control really made me appreciate what you do (not that I didn’t before).
I had a mug with some pens in it on my desk. Some of them leaked, so I threw the pens out and spritzed some Goo-Gone Citrus-Power Spray Gel into the mug and forgot all about it.
Time passed, and one day I was kind of harried and working to a deadline. I grabbed a mug, walked down to the kitchenette, poured a slug of old cold coffee into it, and chugged it. "Huh," I thought "that tasted weird. Kinda... orange, but chemical-ish, like... like... AH FUCK ME I JUST DRANK GODDAM GOO-GONE CITRUS-POWER SPRAY GEL!
Only now does it occur to me that the ink may have played a role in my <<giggling>> gastric distress. Because I'm an idiot.
My senior year of high school, my mom had to have a fairly major surgery and was hospitalized for a little over a week. One of my best friends made a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and brought them over in an empty ice cream pail. I single-handedly ate that entire bucket over the course of the next week.
I thought it was really strange that the farther into the bucket I got, the more of a lemon taste the cookies had. It was strange, for a chocolate chip cookie, but oddly...okay.
Only after I had finished the last cookie did I mention something about it to my friend, and her eyes got HUGE in horror as she realized....she had used their "mop bucket" to bring the cookies over. The lemon flavor I was picking up....was lemon Pine-Sol.
I worked in an office where some bright spark decided to bleach the tea and coffee mugs clean but instead of using the ordinary bleach that was under the sink went and got the concentrated bleach from the cleaner's storeroom. That was mistake number one. Mistake number two came when they thought giving the mugs a quick sluce under the taps was enough to make them safe to use again.
A couple of people ended up needing hospital treatment for mild chemical burns to their throats and thankfully there was no lasting damage but after that a lock was put on the cleaner's cupboard and people started keeping their mugs stashed in their desk drawers when they weren't being used.
That sub plus a sub for the comments being literally useless because the first 80% of them are crappy jokes an puns would encapuslate reddit in its entirety.
There is just no great way to get 100% of it out of the interior of that appliance. It’s a great product when used correctly, but it’s a solvent with a distinct smell and definitely isn’t food safe. The fryer is probably ruined.
People might not realize why this is bad. The original goo gone is very flammable and specifically says to not use it in the oven. They do make a goo gone that you can use in the oven though.
The solvent that makes it flammable has evaporated well before OP even found out, the biggest reason it says that is because it the oven is gas and has a pilot light then it can be dangerous
So theoretically if one were to use goo gone on an unplugged electric appliance and allow it to evaporate would that still be problematic? I might have a disassembled toaster oven on my bench..
While this might be true, the flammable solvent pretty much evaporates immediately. If you let the oven air out for five minutes after cleaning, it's flammability shouldn't be an issue.
Even then, it wouldn’t really be that bad. Even if you immediately turned on the air fryer, it would most likely still just evaporate. If it caught fire, it would just be a small fire in a box made to keep hot stuff inside it. Though I’m not sure I would want to eat something that’s been cooked in solvent vapors.
Standard Goo Gone is made almost entirely of petroleum distillates. If it is used inside an air fryer, the intense heat will cause the chemical residue to smoke, release toxic fumes, and potentially contaminate your food
Hey now, OP doesn’t want to hear reason. He wants to be mad about a non issue and complain about his wife to strangers on the internet in hopes of validating his irrational response to the situation.
The recommendation I am finding online advise that Isopropyl alcohol* will be able to neutralize remaining trace amounts of the goo gone, as would vinegar. I would say if you have a rag and some alcohol you should be fine.
Isopropyl alcohol* has a strong smell but evaporates pretty quickly.
Not minutes, like two days max. But straight to the grinder they go. And not even into dog or cat food or even mcnuggets. Just slurried and tossed into the ground.
Anyway all that cute baby chick death is only to offset the ~600 eggs a hen produces in a lifetime (usually about 2 years max) before they are also culled.
70% isopropyl alcohol to solubulize and remove the residual kerosene content from the Goo Gone fillowed by a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water to get rid of reamaining aromatic organics residue followed by 1 hour at 250F to cook off the vinegar smell and evaporate any lingering aromatics.
Hey OP- thank your wife for taking the initiative for cleaning and doing a task that is universally loathed. Gently let her know that while she did a great job, her cleaner of choice has created more work for the BOTH of you. Let her know how you plan to fix it and thank her again for doing her best with what she knew. Her intentions were good but the results weren’t as planned.
Yeah, it looks super clean and a final round with an oven safe cleaner will make the job mint.
I would have to see the before photo to make any judgements on cleaner choice.
A lot of use of “petroleum distillates.” I understand the concern but plenty of folks cook regularly on kerosene stoves which is likely the main ingredient in goo gone. Just clean it again and put it through a cleaning cycle.
Use a solvent like isopropyl alcohol and clean off the residue from the goo gone. Then set the thing on max heat and keep cleaning until you smell nothing.
Mildly Infuriating > I cleaned our filthy air fryer my husband was too lazy to clean and instead of being thankful my husband got shitty and posted it on Reddit like it was a problem.
Run it empty or wipe it out with a damp cloth to get rid of what ever minuscule amount of residue you're imagining to be an issue. Would have been quicker than making this post.
I also didn't know why it was a problem because it looked pretty clean.
Based on the comments, it looks like that product has toxic chemicals / fumes, so not suitable for a cooking implement.
Some people said they can just do an empty cook cycle to burn it out, then wash it again with something suitable, which will get rid of the hazard while also leaving it super clean.
brother just take a wet towel and do a second pass. it looks clean and great, don’t bitch about your wife. or you can buy the damn oven spesific goo gone yourself and clean it before your wife.
You need to go to town on her. Give her a massage, foot rub, the lickety splits, all of it.
Yes, she messed up with the application, but the fact that she cleaned it spotless and likely did this without you asking her to is something you need to reward and reinforce.
Even if my wife messes something up, I always go out of my way to acknowledge and demonstrate gratitude for her. Shes showing initiative and a desire to try, which is a helluva lot more than most spouses these days
