I have a perfectly good chip fryer that is coated with caked-on old sunflower oil.It's sufficiently hard and thick that the detergents I've used haven't touched it.In the end I have put it all in the dishwasher and put it through a few washes. Some of the crud has become emulsified and almost peels off like latex. But there's a lot more to go and don't relish the thought of another dozen or more washes in the dishwasher!!Are there any detergents which successfully dissolve this type of stuff?

A soak in caustic soda solution might do it...

How to clean gunge of a chip fryer?

Local "arkwright's" will generally have it - on the floor next to the spirits of salts!

Apparently there are non-caustic gels, as used by oven cleaning franchises, but I've never seen them for sale. Secret formulas and all that
