The Crock Pot method is great. My pot has a lid and I use it. I usually leave it overnight. I'm not sure it is necessary, but I do it anyway. The lid eleminates the fumes and keeps my cats safe. After the pot, I dip the engine in denatured alcohol and wash thoroughly with tap water. (The alcohol seems to help remove the antifreeze.) Then use compressed air to blow of the engine thoroughly. The final step is Marvel Mystery Air Tool oil in every nook and cranty. Bill
Bill, I use the crockpot method also and it works great. Although you put a lid on, it does not eliminate the fumes. I highly recommend doing that ina well ventilated area.
