> Thanks, Mike. I hadn't thought of the toothbrush. Ruth Hi Ruth,
I didn't want to mention this first time since it is so gross, but to remove dried gunk, try biting the end off a toothpick and use the blunt end to pry the food out. Then finish with soap and water. Be careful to not punch through the plastic material, though. A tear can cause the material to start splitting. But if the seal is so old that it is splitting or badly rusted, it's probably time for a new refrigerator. This is one area where I believe advances in technology can really improve the performance of the product. The refrigerator and water heater are two of the biggest energy consumers in the household. The new insulation in recent fridges is much better than older units, so you may save money in the long run to trade in your old unit. Also, newer units allow you to monitor the temperatures in the freezer compartment and main food area. This allows you to set the temperatures to the point that keeps food safe, but doesn't waste electricity. Plus, the newer fridges can be much easier to clean, which is where I came in:) Best Wishes, Mike M*** This message was sent to your KasMail disposable email address: silver-list@eskimo.com ***
