Cleaning Electric Skillets

I could sure use some clever hints for cleaning
the bottom (underside) of a stainless steel
electric skillet, especially around the base of
the heating element and in and around where the
power cord connects.
Thanks,

| Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. I burned the living hell out of some onions the other night; REALLY messed up the bottom of one of my nice stainless skillets. It took awhile, but the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser got ALL of the burned onion and stains off the inside of the pan. |

| "It took awhile, but the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser got ALL of the burned onion and stains off the inside of the pan." Yeah but, yeah buttt ... I am still looking to clean
the OUTSIDE of the pan, the underbeneath of the pan,
as in "turn it over". Won't someone help me please?? |

| You could read between the lines and try using the Magic Eraser on the OUTSIDE of your pan... |

| Thanks so much for that helpful post ... But, as I said in my original question, I need something
that will clean "in and around where the power cord
connects." That Magic Eraser must be truly magic to
fit in those tiny spaces. I can't even get a toothbrush
in there. |

| There's no reason for you to get pissy, especially since you don't appear to be familiar with Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. They're soft and SQUISHABLE. As in, you can wet them and flatten them quite a bit and fit them into very small, tight spaces. |

| Sorry to have been so pissy, just frustrated is all. So I drove out and bought a pack of "magic" erasers.
Made not so much as a dent in the old burned-on
stuff around the heating element on the bottom,
underneath the electric skillet. Mostly just
polished the grunge. No magic there. Still hoping for a solution short of a wire brush on
a 'lectric drill. |

| Try Dawn Power Dissolver. I've found it at Walmart. Follow the directions. It may take more than one try to get it clean. |

| Dawn Power Dissolver truly works miracles! It sprays a small stream so you should be able spray in the crevices you are trying to clean. Let it sit for about 20 minutes and try cleaning with a Q-Tip. Good Luck! |

| ^ I must agree with you, this product (Dawn Power Dissolver) really works like wonders. Even the most impossible dirt can be cleaned. |

| Brand new user hyping an unnamed website? I'm not going there! Sniff, sniff, anyone smell spam? The product is available at your local store. |

| I have used Easy Off Fume Free oven cleaner to clean seriously burned on food, when nothing else worked. Spray and let sit over night in a dishpan. My only concern for your situation are the areas that are not stainless steel. Would the oven cleaner be harmful to them? |

| For someone like me who can't go out for some personal reason I'd really go online to purchase Dawn. That's what the internet is for. |

| So, Flaming, can you have whoever does your grocery shopping pick some up for you, since you are completely housebound? |
RE: Cleaning Electric Skillets

| A spammer bumping and old thread up. At any rate, I've never heard of Dawn so would be inclined to go with the oven cleaner. If you get it in the jar and apply with the brush, you have better control of where the cleaner goes. Wouldn't want to spray in the power cord plug. Or use the spray carefully. |
