Recently I got a used Hottop from Ma Barker ... However, when I got the thing, the doggone packing peanuts were everywhere inside the roaster so I started taking it apart to get them out of there.  Since I was taking it apart, I decided it would be a good idea to give it a thorough cleaning. Only problem was that everything I tried was a lot of work so I left it alone for a while (months). I started working on it again and decided to try something ... I really took it apart this time ...  I put the pieces in the kitchen sink and filled it with Oxiclean and hot water, and let soak. Periodically I would use a toothbrush on the parts. The buildup on the chrome pieces just seemed to sluff off and most of the other pieces cleaned up with the toothbrush. Before ...  After ...  Do be careful though ... I ended up with a few sheet-metal cuts on my fingers.  It sure did save me a lot of elbow grease though!s:1 Now I just need to figure out how to put it back together ... :( Respectfully,

I did get most of it put back together last night. I tried firing it up today and it seemed to work just fine! Very few left over parts ... Respectfully,

Makes you wonder if they could make them cheaper if they didn't put all the extras in there! I've been there, CHAD |

Do you think OxiClean would work better than something like Cafiza? I would guess they're similar products but I don't know if one would do a better job than the other. Edited misspelling Edited by Spresso_Bean on 07/19/2008 10:38 PM LMWDP #200

I don't really know, but I know the buildup on the chrome pieces just came right off by passing my thumb across them. Per the MSDSs, they don't have any ingredients in common. I would think that the Oxyclean would be cheaper though. Respectfully,

Thanks - I've even bought dollar store versions of OxiClean and it works great for cleaning other things so that might be another inexpensive option. I just would have to test it on something else before soaking Hottop parts in it. I recently bought a used Hottop so this cleaning info should help me out, and that'll be the first thing I do when it arrives based on what you did and the results you had.
