Brass case cleaning

Hello
I have been using a deep fat fryer obtained from eBay at very modest £8 cost to simmer my brass cases. its amazing how clean they emerge, works very well on my blacks as well as Nitro`s. Use a little washing liquid and a touch of washing softener. and they air dry very quickly because the brass emerges hot. Look for a fryer that has a temp thermostat below boiling point.
Please note use water not oil

Complete over kill in the precision stakes. but this would work for below boiling water temperature control:

But it can also be used for doing some amazing steak (and other foods).

I love the advice " use water, not oil" ...crispy fried brass?

Hello
303 cases after 30mins simmering, air dry, and few minutes in dry media tumbler to remove water staining.
I will let the cases picture speak for itself...…….

I would personally reccomend an acti-fry, to ensure low calorie brass compared with deep fat fried brass.

Brass looks nice and shiny! The one thing I didn't like about wet cleaning brass was drying it.

Suppose you could add some sausages to the mix, then have a hot dog while reloading ?

Very good! I'm on the lookout for a deep fat frier now!

For cheap and small one, I have one that I think is the same as this:

And a play with the thermostat dial yesterday makes it look like you can set it below 100c, but there aren't any markings that low.
