I agree with Bill with but one exception. I keep my water heater temp set fairly low, so my rinse will also be done in boiling water. I simply dump the detergent mix, rinse the pot, refill & boil. Leave it in long enough to come up to temp & it will virtually dry itself upon removal, particularlly a large part. Only a light WD-40 treatment is then required for any remaining pockets of moisture & then the regular lube & you're all set.
