If you want to post the measurements of all walls/windows/doors I’d be happy to take a look. DM if you prefer.

Ok! Just measure all of those things? I’ll make a little map because there are other goofy things to work around in the kitchen, unfortunately.

Yep! A map is perfect. I will ask if I need more info. :grin:

I had a corner stove in an old place and really liked it - the kitchen area was spacious, so plenty of room, and I liked the way I felt like I had extra counter and shelf space.

How do I get this clean?


The neck is very narrow so nothing reaches inside it.
There is an electric element built into the base so I can’t submerge it.
I tried with the tool used to clean reusable straws and I couldn’t get any pressure to properly wipe the sides.

This might be ineffectual but worth a try? Fill with soapy water and shake aggressively?

I tried that.
Maybe ball bearings in soapy water?
I don’t have ball bearings but I have dried chickpeas.

Interesting idea! Maybe something mildly abrasive like baking soda in the water solution too??

Have you tried filling it with vinegar and letting it soak? I’ve used vinegar before to help descale things and it stank but helped a lot.

Cooking tomato based things removes stains really well. Maybe fill with crushed tomatoes and turn on the heating element?

Like @plainjane I’ve just used straight vinegar, no boiling!

Maybe it works too, but I’m too lazy

Waaaay back when I worked in a restaurant we cleaned the glass coffee pots with ice and water and something that I forget. The ice from the ice machine gave it more scrubbing power. Maybe try baking soda for the agent?
