Clavier Propre à la Mode
Your results may vary, and we can't be responsible for failures,
but we have made this item on several occasions ourselves,
each time with spectacularly sparkling results.
-
Preparation
- Dishwasher
-
Make sure the dishwasher is clean and empty.
-
Disable heat-dry, auto-temp,
and any other heat-producing features.
-
If possible, set to warm rather than hot water.
-
Load a very small amount of liquid dishwashing (not dishwasher) detergent.
- Oven
-
Make sure the oven is clean and empty.
-
Preheat to 65°C (150°F).
-
If it's electric, you might want to place
baking sheets on the racks above and below
where the keyboard will go.
(i.e. having a glowing red element near a keyboard
is not a good thing.)
- Keyboard
-
Remove obvious dirt with cloth and vacuum cleaner.
-
Disconnect (or coil and twist-tie) the cord.
- Cooking
-
Place the keyboard, upside down,
on the top rack of the diswasher.
-
Run on gentle cycle.
-
When you hear the dishwasher filling with water,
if it didn't have a warm-water setting,
add a litre or so of cold water, and let it continue.
-
When it enters the dry cycle:
- Stop it and remove the keyboard.
-
Rinse under a tap, and shake well,
holding the keyboard in various orientations.
-
Repeat all this again, but on rinse-cycle only,
and without detergent.
-
Shake as much water as possible out of the keyboard.
If you can still hear sloshing, it's not ready yet.
- Baking
-
Make sure that the oven has been preheated.
-
Bake for about 2 hours.
- Presentation
- Remove from oven, cool, and serve.
- Do not top with ice-cream.
