The basket occasionally went in the dishwasher which cleaned the surface, but the well gunked grease has been building up.
Tried soaking the basket in soap and hot water. Scrubbing with a soft sponge. And then running the dishwasher multiple times but it only got a small part of the grease out.
I could never fix my gunked up old one. I tried dishwasher, hot water, store brought anti-grease soap or what, nonthing. Had to yeet it. The new one i wash religiously and after a round in the dishwasher, i scrub it down before using it. I’m afraid your old one might be beyond help
Same here. If you build up layers of oil and stuff on the basket it’s never coming out. It’s not a big deal IMHO.
