To clean cores, I put 'em a glass jar with acetone and swish 'em around for a minute or two. After air drying for 10-15 minutes, they go into a boiling mixture of 3 qts water and 1/2 cup Cascade powdered dishwasing detergent per 1000 cores. Simple Green Concentrate also does a nice job cleaning cores. After boiling for 10 minutes, they're rinsed in a collander under hot water and laid on a big towel to dry or dry outside in the sun if it's a warm day.
I feel it's important to not have the cores directly in contact with the bottom of the 'pot', so I use this folding leaf collander gizmo from a cooking store. It has several stand offs on the bottom to let the water circulate under the cores: I'm not a fan of heavy etching of the cores...just get 'em clean. I favor the maximum contact possible between the wall of the jacket and the o.d. of the core. |

FYI, in the States, they can be found at fancy cooking stores, like Williams Sonoma. They probably do mail order, since it shouldn't be an export control item.

The funnel collander I use gets the job with no fuss or muss. Found mine in a used store. I like mine better and I have a handle on mine. My collander is probably a 2qt model. Stephen Perry |
