My ex's always got crud between the rubber seal (removable) and the rim of
the lid. When I have to deal with silly crevices in a piece of cooking
equipment, it's out the door. :-) I almost tossed my son because diaper
changes also involved a difficult-to-clean crevice, but I figured out a
method using the sink sprayer, an old electric toothbrush, and a large fish
net. It worked beautifully. He's 16 now, and his shrink says he should be
back to normal soon.
