My attempt at a 'quick' sourdough starter ended with a jar of goo on my ceiling

I used a cup of rye flour and left it near the radiator, which apparently created a yeast volcano that launched the lid. Learned my lesson about giving wild things space to breathe! Anyone have a good cleanup tip for dried dough splatter?

That sounds like a truly EPIC starter fail, my sympathies.

Actually @park.tara, maybe a starter fail is a good sign. It means you're trying something new and learning from it. My first sourdough was a brick but the next one turned out way better because of what went wrong. Sometimes the mess is just part of the process.
