Fredxx was thinking very hard :
I find a few washes in the dish washer tends to emulsify any caked on
oil, but I presume that isn't an option?

It is an option, its just the basket caked with oil.

Works fine with mine which has lots of baked olive oil
because I dip peeled potatoes in it for roast potatoes that
I have with almost all meals except steak and chops etc.
