Default Breech Plug Cleaning...

How do you all clean your breech plugs? I've got a T/C Speed Breech XT, and initially bought the CVA Parts soaker for it... I have not had good luck with the parts soaker. Being frustrated with it, I decided to try something different. We have an under sink water heater system that spits out water just under boiling. So I filled up a sealable bowl with blazing hot water and dropped in the breech plug. After sealing it up, I shook it as long as my hands could handle the heat. Repeated this a few times, then drained the water. The plug came out pretty darned clean. Only needed to use a Q-Tip in the primer pocket and light wiping to remove the remaining soot.

Unless anyone else has a simpler method, I think I found my new way to clean my Breech Plugs!
