In my last post I asked for help cleaning our grimy kettle. As mentioned by Monte, I bought some yellow can "Easy Off" and let it sit on the grimy parts for a good six hours or so. When I went back to wipe away the mess, the inside of the kettle had a flaky black residue that doesn't seem to come off. The stainless steel parts (i.e. the lid, handle, and thumb screws) came out as clean as a whistle, but the thicker parts are covered with this rust-like film.
I scrubbed and scrubbed the stuff with a scotch-brite pad, but hardly any of came off. In an act of desperation, I plugged the kettle back in, poured in some "heat-n-clean" mix and brought it to a boil. I then let that sit for about two hours, poured it out and brought another batch to a boil, which is currently sitting in the popper overnight. I'm going to go back in tomorrow morning and take some steel wool to the inside of the kettle in hopes of cleaning off the rest of the mysterious black junk. Then I'm going to do another "heat-n-clean" treatment and give it a thorough cleaning. My question(s) is this:
1. If the multiple heat-n-clean treatments don't work, what else can I do?
2. Will the mysterious black residue taint my corn for Friday night?
