  • Morning all.

    Salfumán is hydrochloric acid. I've never used it. Perhaps I should on my hob grates though. They're dire (talk about washing your dirty linen in public). I'll give the grass trick a go first, mind.

    Another busy day ahead. Plus I'm supposed to be doing lunch for three. No idea what yet and I need to get started in about 45 mins. Hope there's some inspiration over on the cooking thread. Not going to think about tiramisu. So good it's lethal stuff.

    Have a great day, everyone.

    • Snoop, learn a lesson from Mr GF and if you try the acid try it on a little non- visible bit first or something unimportant.

      • ^Bet that was an expensive lesson to learn, GF.

            • Oh Lottie- I’m drooling at the very thought….

              Flo- well in that case it’s done a brill job of the baked on bits in that loads just wiped off with kitchen paper- hence the thought another go may well loosen the next , deeper layers.

              GF….your OH sounds fun to be around!

              Hydrochloric acid? Yikes…and I was worried when my OH disappeared up our lounge chimney scrubbing the soot/ tar off the granite stones before our woodstove was fitted….

              • Nicos, I thought it was traditional to send little boys up chimneys, not grown men. That must be one big chimney!

                • I know yesterday LD you were saying your Christmas cake was undercooked. Then we were talking about Nancy Birtwhistle. I've just seen this.

                    yup- the actual chimney is 6’6” wide by almost 3’ at its widest

                    Perfect for Santa!

                        I bet that looks spectacular when you dress it for Saturnalia Nicos

                        • I’ll take photos in December if anyone is interested?
                          We have two others the same size which we use , and the oldest one in the barn( 1630s) can’t be used as the top chimney was removed.

                          • My eldest GG has just called for a cake I hastily made for her. She's hosting a little birthday party for one of her best friends this evening. It made me smile when she said "I like to go the extra mile with home made cake"

                              • Evening all,i do not like these dark nights,it makes for to long an evening,so roll on the next few months,there i said it,i will have to look up this Nancy Birtwhistle,never heard the name before,i will do another one,and go by my instincts as usual with a little help from a recipe,i have in the past done lots of very rich fruit cake,and never had any bother,i am thinking i made the mistake of adding a tin of black cherries,and made the mixture to wet,never again,live and learn,however i just cannot for the life of me do an ordinary common fruit cake,it goes to the bottom,so i will have to prepare a shopping list for tom morning and go gather what i need,i do not like it when i fail,goes against the grain after all my years of no bother,that chimney sounds huge Nicos,have a good evening evey one
