Barkeepers friend is great
Oxalic acid is pretty harmless as long as you don’t eat a lot of it or soak your hands in it for a long time. Whatever you’d use to clean a pan for as long it would take you to clean it is fine.
I prefer bon ami to barkeeper’s friend because its 100% food safe

the glass oxides in the ingredients for BKF made me 
but that’s mostly coz i fret about scratching pans … if silicon dioxide is a food-safe anti-caking agent then you can’t get too mad at glass particles right
I haven’t had any problems, though I don’t use it on anything but steel pans and I rarely get much stuck to those anyway
Me and my sister have been using BKF on enamel for ages and never had any issues.
after years of searching i finally tracked down a place in boston that sells potato-covered corn dogs (an image burned forever into my mind by @boojiboy7). turns out they taste like corn dogs, french fries, AND funnel cake, making them the most efficient way to eat a county fair

Yeah the ones in Tokyo were cheese instead of hotdog in the middle and a little less funnel cake sweetness. Still, that sounds delicious.

Cheese was the other option for this but that seemed like so much cheese! Realistically it’s probably a string cheese stick though. I’ve seen some Korean corndogs at other places here that let you choose both hot dog and cheese, which I am curious about.

yeah, it seemed like a thick string cheese in terms of amount of cheese, but it still could be a lot depending on lactose tolerances. The stands all had lots of condiments for them, though I liked just ketchup and garlic powder on mine (though this might not work as well with a sweeter version).
I would totally try the “both” option though, yeah.

I tried making them at home and the cheese ones just liquified inside the potato and panko chrysalid

New snack technology: I got a calamansi juice bag that is pumped full of nitrogen and has a little dispenser spout. I think it cost ten dollars but I don’t want to think about that so I won’t confirm. Tastes real good.
