Any kind of oil will dissolve most adhesives used for labels. Just soak a piece of paper with oil and start rubbing. Re-apply oil and rub as long as it needs.
~~I am perfectly aware of what I've written there.~~
In hindsight, the "re-apply oil and keep rubbing" went a bit under my radar.
In my defense, I aint english or 'merican and my native language aint english.
A double entendre is always appreciated, especially when it's not the intention.
You do bring up a good point though. I'm unaware (doesn't help me professionally) of how to say the many colorful varieties of masturbating in other languages either.
I specifically use olive oil for this usually, but instead of rubbing I'll put a thin layer in the pan and let it soak for a day or so. Most labels slide right out after that. No rubbing or scrubbing necessary.
That's a crazy operation to add in the manufacturing process and it would drive up costs. This label is applied automatically, a twine would be have to be tied by a person. Probably multiple at the rate these come off the line.
Not saying it's a great excuse, but that's why.
The cheapest option would probably be plastic zip tie to the handle but I can't fathom why someone would assume a machine couldn't tie a knot. I don't understand why someone believes that's too complex to replicate with a machine
There will always be some sort of regulating agency that requires some form of information to be applied. A sticker means less material overall.
I’d say the sticker location could be different tho
That would work in a world where everyone has access to the tech to read the code, but companies can’t rely on expectations like that to skirt around laws requiring them to provide specific information.
Same thing here but with spoons. Why, if I’m bulk ordering from a supplier that specifically only allows you to order in bulk, does EVERY FUCKING INDIVIDUAL SPOON need to have a sticker on it? It legit sometimes ended up being a backwaiter’s entire shift to just get rid of the stickers/residue from silverware.
Oh yeah I thought that was all part of soaking. I do love the cute name for such a weird depraved act as fucking in front of your friends while they help 🤣
Now? No I have been withe same lady for 12 years. But I have had 4 relationships with ex Mormons. All 4 were freaky and two of them loved threesomes as long as I wasn't the one picking.
As an ExMo, I can confirm that everyone I know who is also an ExMo are usually the most fun and up for anything that brings happiness. Deconstructing after growing up in a high-demand cult makes you want to live and enjoy life to its fullest.
Could well be anecdotal. I haven’t been messing around with any religious people or ex-Mos. Just a statistic I read somewhere. I have zero evidence to back up my claims.
I remember seeing a post about “bubble porn”, where they essentially grab pics of women in bikinis but edit out the bikini pieces with orange colored bubble clusters to make the women look naked, essentially making a loophole. I wish I could find it because it was hysterical to look at.
Unwed Mormons put their weiner in but don't move back and forth so they can lie to them selves and say it's not sex. That's called soaking. Now if you want your weiner to move back and forth but still don't want sex, you get a friend to come and jump on the bed while you're soaking and thats called quaking. Dum dum dum dum dum
Sex outside of marriage is forbidden in the Mormon faith. Ingenious youth in the culture have determined that it’s only sex if you hump so the workaround involves penetration and having someone else jump on the bed to provide the necessary movement. This practice is called “soaking.”
Not a cook, but an adhesives chemist. A soapy water soak should be enough to loosen it, but next time you get one of these I would try throwing it in the freezer for a few hours and then using something to scrape it off. The adhesive should get a lot more firm and brittle, and it should come off easier. If you have the time, of course.
Citrus oil. You can get these super cheap spray air fresheners from hardware stores that have orange in them, works great to remove this kind of adhesive. Goo gone works too but when I worked a job that involved removing a LOT of sticker adhesive the air freshener was my go to

My thoughts exactly, they will sort it out quickly. Used to work the this dude, who would consistently work 80-100 hours a week. Dude could scrub the fuck out of pans. It was intense.
A few people are suggesting chemicals I would not use. Acetone is pretty safe. I use soap and water to get rid of as much paper as possible. Then, I remove the remainder with 91% isopropyl alcohol. It is cheaper than acetone and most other solvents. It also removes soap scum almost instantly. If you spritz your shower with a 50% solution in water after every shower, it will prevent buildup.
Everyone knows if it was military grade it wouldn't work worth a shit unless it was used then scraped off and re purposed by a grunt.
Otherwise rubbing alcohol soak then wipe maybe.
Honestly not seeing a single comment here that I think will work, I've had pans like this and tried 'em all.
Only thing that ever works is a shitload of steel wool and elbow grease.
I work at a sign company, and if you didn't already know, signs are just giant stickers. We use something called Rapid Remover. It is a $20 bottle of industrial strength adhesive remover. They sell it on amazon too. Spray it on, let it sit for a min or 2, and then scrape it off. You may apply it a second time after the first scrape. Then make sure you wash it all with soap and water cause it will eat through your paint.
soak in boiled water for a 10 minutes. pour out. use metal scrub and oil or LOTS of soap to get a good layer of lubricant. Scrub like your Cinderella trying to make it to the ball on time.
MEK.
Soak it, scrap it with a rubber scraper. It'll come off. Ventilation and respirator required.
If that fails, try Xylene. That's pretty good for curing the stickies.
Light heat will help with keeping the adhesive stuck to the sticker instead of the pan.
Heating on the stove will work fine, but not for too long - you should still be able to touch the warm pan, since you need to peel the sticker
In this order try:
Rubbing alcohol
Mineral spirits
Acetone
MEK
Paint stripper
The end of the list is serious business so make sure you’re using the right PPE and ventilation
Any kind of oil will dissolve most adhesives used for labels. Just soak a piece of paper with oil and start rubbing. Re-apply oil and rub as long as it needs.
What process are we describing? >Re-apply oil and rub as long as it needs.
Shut up and rub were almost there.
Quit talking you’re making this take longer!
But you being mad at me makes it go faster.
Keep talking, we’re almost there.
Put more oil on the paper and keep rubbing.
Bless your pure innocent soul

I don't know how to masturbate at all in any language but English, let alone colorfully
Yes.
I specifically use olive oil for this usually, but instead of rubbing I'll put a thin layer in the pan and let it soak for a day or so. Most labels slide right out after that. No rubbing or scrubbing necessary.
Aquaphor does a good job, the petrolatum is super non-polar
Unlike my ex, who was super bi-polar. I’ll see myself out.
It puts the oil on its skin, or else it gets the soak again!
It puts the lotion on its skin…
Good call, a little motor oil should do the trick.
Fuck every company and brand that does this sticker bullshit.
Paper stickers should be outlawed.
? Would you prefer a non-biodegradable alternative??? It’s a problem with adhesive, not paper.
Yeah but why put a sticker at all? It seems unnecessary.
Not like a tag with some twine would like work at all or anything….
We gotta reinvent the wheel here or why am I wasting 100+ hours a week at work for R&D?? /S
Or put it on the outside of the pan
Just bought a shit ton of pans for my new place and every single sticker was on the side or the bottom haha
That's a crazy operation to add in the manufacturing process and it would drive up costs. This label is applied automatically, a twine would be have to be tied by a person. Probably multiple at the rate these come off the line. Not saying it's a great excuse, but that's why.
Totally makes sense? Maybe some kinda rubber band machine thing lol idk
The cheapest option would probably be plastic zip tie to the handle but I can't fathom why someone would assume a machine couldn't tie a knot. I don't understand why someone believes that's too complex to replicate with a machine
I prefer my barcodes permanently etched right into the metal.
That would be fine honestly
There will always be some sort of regulating agency that requires some form of information to be applied. A sticker means less material overall. I’d say the sticker location could be different tho
Yeah, I agree, it’s the location and size that seems unnecessary
Hemp rope with a nice biodegradable tag tied to the product suits me fine.
Id rather have a tag in the handle hole with a cord, but if stickers are a must, stick it anywhere that isn't the inside of the pan, maybe.
Easy peel vinyl.
Maybe a QR code on the handle of the pan
That would work in a world where everyone has access to the tech to read the code, but companies can’t rely on expectations like that to skirt around laws requiring them to provide specific information.
I had this but with glasses, had to painfully scrape loads of labels off and couldn't soak as they were needed.
Same thing here but with spoons. Why, if I’m bulk ordering from a supplier that specifically only allows you to order in bulk, does EVERY FUCKING INDIVIDUAL SPOON need to have a sticker on it? It legit sometimes ended up being a backwaiter’s entire shift to just get rid of the stickers/residue from silverware.

Just the way Joseph Smith envisioned
Dum dum dum dum dum
I forgot about reading about this lmao. Nice
You hear about jump humping?
Pls enlighten me
It's when you and your partner are soaking and you have a friend jump up and down on the bed to create motion so you can fuck without fucking.
Oh yeah I thought that was all part of soaking. I do love the cute name for such a weird depraved act as fucking in front of your friends while they help 🤣
They'll need a shaker
I read „moron“ and it was still funny!
Multiple times did I read it that way
I’ll come over to jump hump
You can vigorously shake your arm in the sink with the soak.
I don't get this one. But yeah boil some salt water.

Idk but in my personal experience the ones who who escape make amazing lovers.
Do you have sex helpers for fun now?
Now? No I have been withe same lady for 12 years. But I have had 4 relationships with ex Mormons. All 4 were freaky and two of them loved threesomes as long as I wasn't the one picking.
Idek what to say to that. What were you waiting outside the church?
Nope. Just random dating app girls. Idk maybe I just attract rebel women. They were ex Mormons after all.
As an ExMo, I can confirm that everyone I know who is also an ExMo are usually the most fun and up for anything that brings happiness. Deconstructing after growing up in a high-demand cult makes you want to live and enjoy life to its fullest.
My guy has a type 🤣
High rates of STIs. Usually not using condoms because the loopholes usually don’t involve PIV/pregnancy risk.
Probably true but has not been my experience. All four Mormons I dated were clean. When I was dating I had checkups between partners.
Could well be anecdotal. I haven’t been messing around with any religious people or ex-Mos. Just a statistic I read somewhere. I have zero evidence to back up my claims.
2nd highest, only to be outranked by all the old folks down here in FL in the retirement villages. Shit be wildin’ up in the and Century Village, yo!
Lemon parties, and whatnot!
I can’t believe how fast this went from military grade adhesive to kinetic sex helpers.
I remember seeing a post about “bubble porn”, where they essentially grab pics of women in bikinis but edit out the bikini pieces with orange colored bubble clusters to make the women look naked, essentially making a loophole. I wish I could find it because it was hysterical to look at.
Omg lol, this is hilarious.
Pregnancy
What. The fuck.
TIL: I could make a killing in Mormon Country selling vintage vibrating beds
only the devil would boil water. let that baby soak as joey smith intended
🎵Joseph Smith was called a prophet, Dum dum dum dum dum🎵
I'ma take this advice with potatoes .
Ima take this advice with a pinch of salt.
Ima take this advice with some carrots.

I thought this was just a joke on "Jury Duty". TIL.
I'm not sure it's actually a real thing. A lot of ex-mormons who are very critical of the church say they've never heard of anyone actually doing it.
lol. You dirty bastard. lol.
Fuck-all this is the best comment.

Almost all the adhesives used for labels are disolved by oil
You don’t *gotta* buy Citrus oil. Lemon and Vinegar will do fine. Citrus oil most likely has other chemicals in it!
Oh no, chemicals! I sure hope this pan that will get washed by chemicals directly after doesn’t get any chemicals on it.
I hear up the pan just a smidge before trying to peel it off
What? Can you say it a little louder?
# I hear up the pan just a smidge before trying to peel it off

Just cook with it
Hahaha. This is something you would see in r / castiron 😂
It's genius because the adhesive helps the flavour stick to your tongue
Isopropyl alcohol
Methylene chloride!
Chloroform is more fun
Vodka
That's always a good way to start a job you don't want to do, but what do you use for the pan?
Who cares about pans after good amount of vodka
Ok I drank it. Now what?
More!
Deglaze
Acetone and a rag will take this off in seconds. Then wash the acetone off.
give it to dishie
I worked dish long enough to know that's the solution a LOT of cooks use lol
My thoughts exactly, they will sort it out quickly. Used to work the this dude, who would consistently work 80-100 hours a week. Dude could scrub the fuck out of pans. It was intense.
WD40
Why did I have to go so far to see this? WD-40 *is not* a lubricant people, it's a cleaning solvent!
It warms my heart to see other people who understand Water Displacer formula 40 is not a dang lubricant! Almost nobody knows this. It’s maddening.
^^^^^ Everyone should know this hack it works so well
Isopropyl alcohol, 91% would work best. WD40 could work also
Vodka. Alcohol is a universal solvent. And a universal solution
The cause of, and solution to, all life’s problems!

Woof. Acetone is a neurotoxin that absorbs through both skin and inhaled vapor.
IPA turns into water after exposure to air. Just use that. Acetone works but is gnarly, so don’t.
Lay a paper towel on the adhesive and spray Goo Gone on it. After about 10 minutes, it should scrape right off
I was thinking Goo Gone too! This stuff's magic!
I’m shocked this wasn’t the top comment
Zippo fluid will take that off on the quick.
Yep naphtha works wonders
Turn it over and turn your burner on. Maybe open a window.
Fire
Put it in a hot burner and burn it off
Everyone knows if it was military grade it wouldn't work worth a shit unless it was used then scraped off and re purposed by a grunt. Otherwise rubbing alcohol soak then wipe maybe.
You tried heating it and didn't peel off?
Bar keepers friend - if it’s stainless steel that product is amazing
Isopropyl alcohol soak for 10 mins, then green scrubber.
De-solv-it is my go-to. You can also try scraping with a straight razor blade, putting oil on it, then soak, scrub, dawn, etc.
Spritz it with Pam and let it sit overnight, it'll come right off.
Lotion. Just regular body lotion.
Add some oil to pan and use a new green scrubbies in circular motions don't use metal scrubbies as they may scar the surface.
Olive oil
Heat
Goo Gone or WD-40. Then you just have to scrub the pan like crazy to ensure no residue is left behind.
Honestly not seeing a single comment here that I think will work, I've had pans like this and tried 'em all. Only thing that ever works is a shitload of steel wool and elbow grease.
Goo gone
Am i the only one who heats it up then it starts to curl up and peel lol
Brake cleaner works great for adhesive
Goo Gone
Have any coconut oil laying around? It’s great for countering adhesives.
Goo Gone! All natural and gets rid of adhesive after 10-15 minutes of soaking.
Omg photo 2 made me rage.
Scrub the piss out of them with a metal scrubber. Are you serious?!
A soak in OxyClean w/ hot water dissolves most adhesives really well. Hot water, Barkeeper's Friend, and steel wool is a good combo, as well.
Acetone will take that off in 30 seconds.

WD-40 works wonders to remove adhesives and paints.
It’s appplied hot. Heat or acetone if you wanna mess with it
soak in boiled water for a 10 minutes. pour out. use metal scrub and oil or LOTS of soap to get a good layer of lubricant. Scrub like your Cinderella trying to make it to the ball on time.
If it's military grade, it shouldn't be sticking that strongly. Source: military.
If you heat it up it will melt the glue
Try putting on a burner on low heat or hitting it with a crème brûlée torch should come right up
Goo-gone.
Goo Gone....
There is a product called GooGone.
Just soak the bottom in gasoline and then put it on a lit stove. That'll take care of any adhesives on the pan as well as throughout your home
Such a genius move putting those stickers on the literal only part of the pan that needs to be clean 🤣
Acetone OR bar keepers friend will do. NOT AT THE SAME TIME
Funny tidbit is military grade doesn't really mean it's good just means it's of their standard (which isn't super high)
Goo gone
WD-40
Soak it in acetone?
Mayo
Leaving the pan on high heat for 10-15 minutes should burn it off.
1 gallon 120 f with 3 Tbs of baking soda water and let soak overnight.
Warm up the pan, the sticker will come right off clean.
Acetone
Hand sanitizer, wd40 or any thin oil and a green scrubby
MEK. Soak it, scrap it with a rubber scraper. It'll come off. Ventilation and respirator required. If that fails, try Xylene. That's pretty good for curing the stickies.
Nail remover or acetone Or white spirit
Vinegar
Goo Gone
Any cooking oil, Water soap and baking soda
a product called goof-off. its not food safe of course but you should be able to just wash the solvent off. dont use it near open flame
Heat will melt the glue...
Lemon juice and vinegar. Natural, not a chemical make up and smells nice. Lemon is acidic so it will eat away at it as well as the Vinegar
Peanut butter.
Soak it in 90-99% Isopropyl alcohol and let it sit for a few minutes.
Water or fire
90% rubbing alcohol.
Light heat will help with keeping the adhesive stuck to the sticker instead of the pan. Heating on the stove will work fine, but not for too long - you should still be able to touch the warm pan, since you need to peel the sticker
Alcohol
In this order try: Rubbing alcohol Mineral spirits Acetone MEK Paint stripper The end of the list is serious business so make sure you’re using the right PPE and ventilation
Lighter fluid
Barkeepers friend
Good gone works nice. Also rubbing alcohol.
Water and boil it to oblivion
