boil a bit, say 1/2 full then add a good whack of vinegar. leave as long as possible, overnight is good then poke bits of lime away from the element and nookies with a wood skewer or a hard brush and rinse. i put dilute bleach in for a bit sometimes to clean grime and those sponge on sticks gets down inside ok with jif on .... boil a few times after to get rid of nasty tastes
