 How do folks like to clean their Champion?
« Thread Started on Jun 5, 2009, 7:58pm »

Thoughts?

If I recall, the instructions say to only use cold water... However, cold on chocolate sure makes it difficult ;)

Any tips on cleaning that Champion once you get your cocoa liquor?

Hi JBR,
I bought mine second-hand with no instructions so I've been using standard hot water and washing up liquid followed by a good rinse. No problems so far - touch wood!

I haven't been cleaning it. When I'm ready for a new batch, I just melt it in the oven around 120-150F for a few minutes, and introduce new chocolate.

I think the drum without the cover is safe up to temperatures of 165. Ovens vary widely, so I put the probe in the oven to make sure it's safe. Typically, I'll pre-heat the oven, and when the probe hits 150, I put the conche in with a couple more short bits of heating.

I wash all the parts to mine in hot, soapy water all the time. Using one of those natural dish soaps (odor free). Works great! Good luck.
