Cleaning sawblades

Pizza pans, which come in various diameters with a standard depth, are ideal for soaking circular-saw blades in chemical remover to get rid of pitch. Very little fluid is needed, and after an overnight soak the residual fluid can be poured back into its can to be used again. The blades come clean with little effort.
