WTF is a kitchen brush? I must own every kitchen tool ever invented

grease baking pans with a paper towel but usually with my fingers.

I have to admit that I was wondering the same thing. We have several
different types of brushes in our kitchen. We have some brushes for
washing dishes (one of them is dedicated to dog bowls), brushes for
basting/ spreading, a course brush for scrubbing vegetables, a brush for
scrubbing the floor, and one for scrubbing hands.

You must have understood the word "try" to mean "drink." This probably explains your crazy-ass ideas of how things in this world interact with each other. I shall be praying for you.

Ammonia combined with bleach gives off toxic fumes and you
should never do that, though combining them isn't what you
said to do.

I never said not to combine ammonia and bleach together and drink it. Silly me, I should have known that old folks are deathly afraid of this mixture. This is obviously where I went seriously wrong.

I also highly recommend not soaking the brush in gasoline, igniting it, and shoving it in your ear although, for some posters here, I'm willing to make an exception.

I think the bleach/ammonia thing is kinda overblown. It's not a violent reaction and it's not going to explode or release billowing clouds of gas. Household ammonia and bleach are just too dilute to be very dangerous. I wouldn't stick my nose in a beaker of the stuff but neither would I stick my nose in a bag of fermenting bread dough. The carbon dioxide gas produced by dough is some powerful stuff!

How friggin stupid would you be to combine ingredients with a known
interaction and for what? What the hell are you cleaning?

I wouldn't risk my lungs on something so ridiculous. Of course,
there are plenty of candidates for the Darwin Award. Eating
Tide Pods isn't that bad for you.

Please remember that I never said that one should mix ammonia and bleach together nor did I recommend that one drink it. That's pretty much all you need to know. You get to have the last word.

And, that can mean that some here will think if A is good and B is good, AB
will be fantastic. There are a few folks here who don't have the sense God
gave a turnip; a caution against mixing the two ingredients might save those
folks from themselves and, in the process, do no harm to those whose sense
exceeds that of a turnip. Of course, there will always be someone who won't
have enough sense to heed a warning; but, IMO, good people should try to
help others.

I specifically stated that you did not say to mix the two.

But then you start with the old people thing (like you're a spring
chicken) and say eh, it probably won't hurt you to mix them.

Anybody remember dry Drano in the can? Little slivers of aluminum and
most probably small sodium hydroxide pellets? Drano makes "Kitchen
Crystals" nowadays, but they ain't like the real thing. The original
made your pipes hot when water hit the Drano and did a hell of a job of
pipe cleaning on "non-plastic plumbing". It did a "killer" job when
mixed with Clorox.
The consequences were in all the papers back in the seventies.

I used to love Draino. I used to play with the stuff - a lot. It had white and blue pellets and pieces of aluminum. It was just beautiful. I'd put it in containers to watch the reactions. Sometimes I'd add aluminum foil. Fun, fun, fun. I never thought to mix it with bleach though. That's just as well, since it sounds a little dangerous.

I don't believe they make Draino with the heat producing aluminum anymore. Just plain lye generates ample heat though. That's what I use these days. I mix up a batch with water and pour it down the drain to clear clogs. The mixing cup gets pretty hot. It's a little scary.
