It would be a much larger scale, but he could always do what I did when I was given a disgustingly filthy pasta maker. I took it apart and cleaned each part thoroughly with lightly soapy water and a toothbrush. I took a photo each time I took a part off in case I forgot how to put it back together.
It probably has a lot of greasy fatty stuff coating the inside of it, so vinegar alone may not cut it.
Thanks for the ideas! I wish I could just take it to the auto place and have them dip the whole thing (they do that, you know). But engine-cleaning solvents probably aren't food-grade.
Erm - vinegar?

ReplyDeleteTaking pictures is a great idea, Tim!
