indeed it is not. what *is* it now? other than charcoal? =20

scraping has helped but it sounds and feels terrible.

There are liquids like Sokoff or Carb-Off, but they are very expensive=20
for what it is.

For the home, baking soda works and so does sudsy ammonia, just prevent=20
it from drying out (plastic bag) and give it time to soak, 24 hours is=20
not too long. Just don't etch the aluminium.

In the navy, we used Draino, that works, but etches the metal in a=20
hurry. :-)

Works on carbonized grease too.
