To clean blackened kettles dampen newspaper with kerosene and rub surfaces then dry. If needed apply soap and scouring powder and rub with a ball. Keep pliers in the kitchen for lids, pots, fish fins, and bottle tops. Always switch off appliance cords before handling to prevent spark wear. Steam oversalted food and use damp cloth to restore moisture. Tighten doors by adding washers to hinge bolts to raise the door.
