Its currently getting a soak in bleach, after a small test
showed it working well. I'll add some washing powder too. It
was cooked in the microwave :/

I'll admit I'm tempted by the angle grinder option...

Surprised you had a problem in a microwave unless the timer was
set too long. My brew is 2 egg cups of oats, 5 of milk and
uWave for 5 mins in a bowl that could take double the quantity.
Open the door immediately that it is done to avoid steaming up
the oven.

It got 15 minutes on full - full being 1kW of nukage. Its
cleaning up nicely, but gradually.

Was this breakfast or an experiment in home fusion? ;-)

Now that you mention it.... I do want to try pyrolysis some time.
I guess I did *funny_expresssion*

PS the bleach works perfectly. By the time I went to add washing
powder the tray the bowl had welded to was already fully clean.

IIRC household bleach is around ph10, so probably the equivalent
cleaning power of washing soda. Actually, the latter didn't work all
that well for me as a grill pan cleaner recently, but I had a toddler
running around so couldn't use caustic. Wish I knew where to get the gel
used by the pro oven cleaning firms
