    We had fish fingers last night - opening up the box of premium ones I bought from the man who comes to the door every few weeks. They are not as nice as the Sainsbugs panko covered TTD ones, in my opinion. But they are double length. Mr Sl cooked so we had two each (!) and he used a flat griddle pan that he then stood on top of one of the then-pristeen hob-hats with a hare on it. He had only proudly showed this off to friends delivering a painting of a hare, last week. Now it is wrecked with a mixture of rust, fat and oven-bottom grease. I've got two chances of getting it clean as he is not a first offender - fat chance and no chance!

    To say I am not happy is something of an understatement. His huffy-puffy reaction to any criticism isn't helping either

    I have got a frozen half portion of the shepherd's pie I made a few weeks ago, sitting in its little 15cm diameter soufflé dish, ready for this evening's low-effort nosebag (to use @foxgloves' expression!)

  • You might try washing-up liquid as it is usually designed to work on grease. I use it often for the stains my roommate gets on her t-shirts.

    Neither bleach or washing up liquid helped. Well, they might have helped a bit but not on what looks like ground in greasy rust marks
