The same thing bothered me, so decided to bung them in the dishwasher and chance it. And Lo - they were restored - as new. I now do this each time I wash the jars. Maybe they will disintegrate earlier than otherwise, but what the heck....All Art is the transfiguration of the commonplace

My uncle does home brew wine and sterilizes his corks by soaking overnight using stuff you can get from health food shops or even morrissons home brew section. Can't get cleaner that sterilised and less risk of the cork integrating I would think.0

Not really - about 3-4 hours from what I remember. My DW only just mended after months without one, so memory a bit hazy...now I'm doing those things, like removable hob parts, which I "forget" to do by hand:rolleyes:All Art is the transfiguration of the commonplace
