This was unexpected! What to do?

[Boonie Stomper]

Ok.so the chickens were happy when given a ceramic baking dish of cooked fish-cleaning leftovers.
But now my dish has a thick terribly sticky layer of goo that doesn't want to come off. Except to spread to anything like my fingers!
Any suggestions how to save my dish for normal future use?

Steel scrubber and elbow grease!

Doesn't want to come off? How? are you just trying to wipe it off or are you washing it? If you cooked the fish guts in the ceramic dish, you may need to soak it in hot soapy water to loosen it.

 

[2 many chickens]

Hot water, dish soap, steel scrubber and a bit of baking soda.. let it soak for about 15 mins beforehand with all of what I said. Then scrub.. rinse.. done. if the first time doesn't get it all off, repeat. Baking soda is very abrasive and safe.

 

[Then I Will]

Dawn dish-soap usually takes anything off. If sticky layer is shifting to your fingers, it's probably a fat or oil. Some fish is fatty.
Overall it doesn't sound that strange... I mean... how long did you leave it with the chickens anyway?

Fill with soapy water and microwave for a few minutes, then scrub. If that doesn’t work, maybe try bar keepers friend?

it didn't respond to hot water soak with dishwashing liquid. Tbe texture is extrmely tacky like a glue trap. The dish was in the run in the elements 2 weeks.
Haven't tried soda yet. Will do.

Two weeks, huh?!? That could be a tough one! Good luck!

elbow grease with soda worked for a lot using paper so could just dispose of it, but remainder was like residue from some package label and sticker adhesives that tend to stubbornly smear as you rub.

Thanks for the suggestions though. I just used alcohol on it with great success.

Now i know how i can make own sticky glue if needed when SHTF
