I have a perfectly good chip fryer that is coated with caked-on old

It's sufficiently hard and thick that the detergents I've used haven't

In the end I have put it all in the dishwasher and put it through a few
washes. Some of the crud has become emulsified and almost peels off like
latex. But there's a lot more to go and don't relish the thought of another
dozen or more washes in the dishwasher!!
