I have an old Clydesdale case for my keyboard that I'm trying to resurrect. The foam padding turned into a weird, simultaneously oily and crumbly burden. It's very messy and smells horrible. Google says that the foam of today doesn't do this, but back in the day, old foam wasn't stable and used to do this after a long time, but doesn't offer any solutions on how to clean it up. Here are two photos of the foam. It also somehow took some impressions of my keyboard and power cable. I've managed to scrape off half of it, but cleaning it all up is very difficult because of how very sticky it is. Does anybody have any experience doing this?

Edit: spelling.

My Dutch babies never look anything like what they look like online. Mine always look like some nuclear deformity stillbirth. Can someone help me?

I make sure the eggs and whole milk are room temperature, mix sugar and salt vanilla and flour (tried both by hand and mixer), and let it sit for a good while, cast iron pan heated in the oven super hot and put in my butter right before I pour in the batter. I watch it through the window periodically only to see the centre always come out growing into this Toxic Avenger looking monstrosity, while the sides sorta hang back and refuse to get involved.

I have to note that I've done this now about a dozen times and I've only mildly achieved the iconic look, almost kind of like 4 times; there were still some massive lipoma looking bubbles in the centre but they were almost acceptable. It just seems to be getting worse, and this latest dutch baby is the latest devastation to grace my breakfast table.
