I've used the purple degreaser to remove years of grease buildup

OK, Purple cleaner and Oven cleaner are next to try.

Not on aluminum, though! For that, a little baking soda and
water, spray onto the (hot) surface, and rinse. Repeat. Again.
Again... it's slow, but it doesn't eat aluminum like lye does.

Gotcha.

This is mostly porcelain - on - steel, but there *are* some
cast aluminum parts very proximal.

Thanks!

The purple degreaser doesn't eat AL all that fast, an hour soak will
discolor it, but it will still be there.
