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?

All I can add is that both cast iron and glass have very high melting points, so you can't possibly have melted one into the other . It's just burnt on food that is glueing them together and you will be able to soak that's off using the excellent ideas up thread .

I think Tom Jones should record 'Sex Lube' immediately.

[Samantha28]

Good point about the preppers hassled

[Sophia1984]

After just reading the 'AIBU to make nanny and DC travel economy' can I just say how much more at home I feel on this thread?

[ChunkyStory]

Chchchchange : in a mumsnet related choking episode I believe sex lube and a fish slice could be of assistance. In fact I plan to make them part of my go-to zombie apocalypse kit.

[OneFlewOverTheMumsNest]

Was just about holding it together until I read Badger's post. Now the baby is awake again from all the laughing.

[CripplinglyStupid]

Thank you, all! To answer questions -

It was a beef casserole.
Lube was tropical flavoured and the hob now smells pleasantly of pineapple, so nobody will ever guess it's actually lube.

'Sex lube' does sound a bit weird but I wanted to differentiate between, well, sex lube and the aforementioned aerosol lube, which I had no idea was WD40.

"HairySubject

I would worry about turning it back on with lube all over it, is it flammable?"

I think the lube will be just fine in a "turned on" situation.

[SatsukiKusakabe]

Ah. Was just posting to suggest sex lube and a fish slice, but see you've already tried it.

I'm out.

[Eastpoint]

I think that 'sex lube & fish slice' is going to become another in the list like 'naice ham', Pom bears etc.

Sex lube and a fishslice

[PrincessMouse]

Sex lube and fish slice = Genius

Off to find Badgers post

[OddSocksHighHeels]

they hand out sex lube sachets at my local clinic. I had no idea they were for the kitchen.

I have no advice but you've cheered me up. And I'm sure I recognise you under that name change.

[wantmorenow]

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

how am I supposed to do my marking when I'm laughing so much?

[Darvany]

Thanks for answering my question OP. Beef and pineapple are strange bedfellows indeed but then I'm trying and failing to find a sex lube flavour which does go.

Ale? Garlic? Red wine?

[CripplinglyStupid]

OddSocks I wonder if I am who you are thinking of!

[OddSocksHighHeels]

I don't know, I may be well off

Sex lube and a fishslice

[ShhhBeQuiet]

What about trying oven cleaner?

or drain cleaner? PLEASE check the instructions though as it might be a stupid or even dangerous suggestion. I think it got something in it that dissolves organic matter.

Whatever you use you could do a tiny test patch to check it doesn't mark the hob.

[cakesonatrain]

Red wine flavour lube

I can imagine this becoming a standard mn suggestion, like LTB.
OP: I'm having trouble with the washing machine. Help please.
All of MN: Have you tried sex lube and a fish slice?

[TheABC]

sobs with laughter. After telling DH this, he suggests the OP changes her username to kinkyfish.

On the advice note, I have stuck pots to the hob before. Let everything cool down, then squirt detergent or cleaner (or vinegar) around it. Leave it to soak in and dissolve the food.m. I swear by Mr Muscle oven cleaner, bur the less noxious suggestions above will do the trick.

[Tribblewithoutacause]

peppers one never knows how passion may take over when you're cooking on an induction hob. One moment you're cooking a spotted dick, the next minute you're using the good scissors to cut the lube packet.

Sex lube and a fish slice is amazing though.

[Nachoo]

Thank you OP, after a truly terrible day this has cheered us all up over here. The pineapple aroma around the oven has finished me

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

Just spat out some dinner laughing at Tom Jones recording Sex Lube!

[Tribblewithoutacause]

Also you can get aerosol lube? Why on earth would you need such a thing. Can't think it would be any quicker than the squirty stuff.
