Hey whatever you do steer totally clear of "synthetic" steel wool. I.E. ScotchBrite and the like. It will somehow totally ruin the porcelain. (ask me how I know)

Yeah, in my case I used the wrong lid. I did not install the flow through lid (still sleepy I guess). Anyway I wasted nearly a full pot before I saw what I did. I'm kinda surprised you had that issue though. There is a switch that is supposed to prevent the brewer from turning on if not...

Well I finally did this AM what I have been fearing I would do...............................As those of you who own a thermal Technivorm know the pot has 2 lids. A flow through and a sealed one. Well, guess which one I tried to brew coffee with this AM? What a mess!

Yeah, I kinda wanted a chest type, but wife is short and when we went to store she said all she could imagine was her half way falling in feet dangling and calling for help all the time. So best compromise was standup manual defrost. Same reason we bought another FL washer. She could not reach...

Glad you're ok

Yup, that'll do it

Escargot? No way I eat those little worms with shells. Caviar, now that is another story.

The guy was an actual trained chef. Used to be the head chef at the old Playboy Club in WI. But IMO no amount of cooking can make something taste good that's already so awful :D

The steak hating monster is still not even done enough for my wife. Ugh

Yeah I have one with the blade clutch. I bought it from a landscaper. It had issues with the rear drive (only one wheel working and not pulling back). I did a little "mod" to the rear axle using roll pins instead to "C" clips, and cleaned the one way clutches in the wheels, lubed and off it...

I doubt it. That is mostly used to clean off very loose stuff without doing damage to the underlying material

When it state "not safe for aluminum" it's not indicating you cannot clean your grill with it. It's there so you don't use it on polished aluminum cookware. If you put it on bare aluminum it will turn the pan black. So the warning. It's not because you cannot use it on the fire box

Yeah only 16 years? I would not buy another of anything that only lasted 16 years :D. Of course then too I rarely buy anything new.
