My sniffer isn’t 100% today but it seems not to be malodorous after the bath. I may try seasoning it tonight. Thanks again for the advice! ✌️

The m&p was totally dry this morning so I took “after” photos and added them to the Google album. Still some darker spots but better than it was before.

Yes, it was pretty gross. It all started when we went through a phase where all the fresh garlic we were buying had mold in it. After a few weeks we gave up and went back to powdered garlic, so our m&p sat around and occasionally got various soups slopped on it. That last part miiight be my fault.

Added links to “before” images. Will update after it dries to include “after”.

I’m a day late. Sorry about that.

Not yet. What a lazy butt I am. I’ll probably try it tomorrow. I will add some before & after pictures.

I mean, maybe. That seems unlikely with granite. It’s like a big, dense sponge.

I’m sorry but what does cast iron have to do with a mortar and pestle? Am I your AI hallucination? (If you are human or English is not your first language, please disregard.)

No way! Learned my lesson with a pizza stone. It was like Aslan came back to life. 😆

No, my wife didn’t laugh at that either.

I sort of feel like that’s what it needs, but I worry that there’s no way to get all the soap back out.

Ah that’s probably a good idea. I’ll try that tonight. Maybe rice would also soak up some of whatever is in the granite.
