I did something like this with a dirty plug-in element, but I let the element run for about ten minutes in the oxy water. That cleaned it right up, and in only about 15 minutes from start to finish, though it wasn't heavily scorched. Using hot Oxy water (even water poured while it's still boiling) without running the element has proven far less effective when cleaning that element in the past.Pour in some water, maybe a half gallon.
Sprinkle in some OxiClean Versatile Free (no blue perfume flakes) and let sit overnight.
Use a brush to scrub off what had oxidized and loosened up.
Repeat if necessary.
I use this method for my Mash & Boil.
