inA shop owner in Cleveland showed me his Google reviews and 14 of them came from the same 3 accounts
Clicking the profile is the easy part, the sneaky stuff is when they space it out. I found one guy who left 40 reviews over two years, all 5 stars, and every single one was a different business but the wording was copy pasted with one or two words swapped. Same weird phrase like "quick and painless process" on a plumber, a nail salon, and a tire shop. Then you check who else reviewed those same places and it's the same little cluster of 5 or 6 accounts all reviewing each other's stuff. Google could flag this in a heartbeat if they wanted, they just don't. Best tip I can give is sort by newest instead of most relevant, the fake ones usually come in bursts on the same few days.

inI finally got my grinder plates to stop rusting after every wash
Learned that lesson the hard way with a cast iron skillet years back. Was so proud of my seasoning and then scrubbed it clean one night, dried it with a dish towel, and woke up to rust spots all over it. My wife still brings it up whenever I touch anything in the kitchen. Air drying on a rack near the stove seems to do the trick for me too, the heat from cooking keeps the air around there dry enough.
