What is the best way to clean burnt-on splatters from a chrome oven without damaging the chrome?

Appliances with an off light.
In the last few years I have purchased a pressure cooker and an air fryer. They both waste electricity by having an off light. Furthermore they act like red nightlights and my kitchen has an eerie red glow at night. What is the actual purpose for off lights besides to waste electricity?

Do really large people need special bathtubs/showers to keep water from getting everywhere?
Hi! I’m trying to figure out if my anti fat biases etc are colouring my view.

Since that time, my grades slipped. I’ve dropped classes as well. I should have graduated two years ago however i’ve been...
