Storing grinder plates and knives

For my own peace of mind, the wd40 and pb blaster thing is a joke. Only food grade oils/ sprays should be used on parts with food contact. Metal is porous and these protective coatings are designed to penetrate those pores and repell moisture. Simply washing the parts before using them, isn’t going to remove the harsh chemicals found in products like wd40. There would be no benefit to using them over a food grade product. Mineral oil, food grade equipment grease or food grade silicone spray is the safest bet.

Ok, I’m a dar dar, What is a PB Blaster?
PB blaster is like WD40, except it works WAY better. For squeaky doors and small stuff like that, WD works fine. But if you have stuck or rusted bolts, PB works way better. If you try it, you will never go back.
kyle Agree on the blaster. It has freed up many a totally rusted components. Was introduced to it by dad about 35 years ago.

Yes, just a joke.
I have only used food-grade white mineral oil on surfaces that need rust protection/lubrication and also touch food.WD-40 is underrated as a cocktail mixer however.

Deepwoodsbutcher I did put in my post on knives/plates I use food grade silicone spray, but like most of us on here we wander off topic sometimes. Thanks for clarifying in your post tho just in case someone is just skimming through and take our conversation the wrong way.
