Oh Christ I have done something incredibly stupid, please can I have some advice?

[CripplinglyStupid]

Cooking this evening. I am not a big cook. Made a delicious dinner, and then went to move the pot off the glass hob.

The cast iron casserole dish won't move. It appears to have welded to the glass. It overboiled a tiny bit when cooking and I thought nothing of it but now I cannot fucking get it off.

I live with flatmates in a rented house. A quick google warns me the glass will probably shatter if I just wrench it, not that I think I can anyway because it is stuck fast. A website recommended a long thin razor and some aerosol lubricant - which I do not have and can't easily get on a Sunday evening, but I have had a try with a sachet of sex lube and a fish slice.

Please help me! I absolutely cannot shatter the glass and the pot belongs to my flatmates so I can't just leave it there. We all use each other's things so she won't mind that I've used it, but I can see her becoming alarmed if I have to admit I can't get it off the glass. Pot cost nearly £90 and I do not want to have to replace it.

What should I do? What might work?

Sex lube and a fish slice. I'm very sorry for your predicament especially as it sounds like something I could easily do but I am DYING laughing over here.

Oh that's brilliant a sachet of lube and a fish slice I can just imagine Kim and Aggie recommending that.

anchor glad I wasn't the only one lol

Why, just why

My dd has her dp visiting and meeting us for the first time. I've just had to explain why I was laughing so much in the kitchen.
Poor Dd is mortified :)
Sorry no advice.

Please don't try swaping WD40 firvsex lube - will you...?

What food was it?

I had to think about why a sachet was convenient for lube as well. Bastard sachets are the messiest things for ketchup. I assume it's the handy slimline size. In my clubbing days it would have fitted nicely in my boots along with my gum and pills

Sex lube and a fish slice....oh God, I'm struggling to breathe...

Well there's two things I'd never think I'd see in the same sentence

id let things cool down before you do anything and maybe look online to see if the manufacturer has any advice.

Thank you for brightening my Sunday night .

Agreed, let it cool.

Where is the OP? Keeping me hanging on about what sort of casserole it was. Typical

I bet the manufactory if the sex lube sachet never expected the product would be used in conjunction with a fish slice in the way it has

The best thing I have ever read on MN

When sex lube and a fish slice doesn't work for me, I crack out the Fairy power spray (green bottle, smells vile, gets rid of all burnt on crap).

Do I now need a space in my kitchen cupboard for lube?

If at any time I'm feeling miserable, I'm just going to remember "sex lube & a fish slice". It's bound to bring a smile to my face... 🙈

Hopefully once it's cooled, it'll come off. I'd try twisting it a bit clockwise, then anticlockwise, for a while. Might help.

And for the love of sex lube casserole, please clean off the lube before you cook on the hob again...!!

Sex lube and a fish slice

Reading the first page of this, I was munching on a bowl of berries. I'm not actually kidding when I say I breathed in laughing and nearly started choking. It was a very close call. Can you imagine the headlines 'woman chokes to death reading Mumsnet.' Thanks, op!

I hope you get the pan off

I'm voting for plasticine dam round the outside filled with hot soapy water - you just need to dissolve the gravy to unstick it.

Poor packet of lube, it wasn't his destiny to end up in the kitchen.

I have no practical advice whatsoever but I too am seriously rethinking my kitchen-emergency needs. Do we need to let the Preppers know?

Could you try to attack the burnt foodstuff somehow, maybe you could use a vibrator to break bits off?

Sex lube and a fish slice!

Definitely not placemarking, no

There's just something so funny about the term 'sex lube'
