I was wondering what is the best way to completly sanitize your grinder, plates and knifes? I always wash my grinder parts in hot water with dawn dish soap. Is that enough to kill everything if a I want to start trying to make a fermented sausage?

Wash well with hot soapy water then a scrub down in a bleach solution.

I accidentally used the wrong soap dispenser, once. It didn't seem to cleanse quite as well, but people complimented me on what soft, clean-smelling sausages that batch were.

Then there was the time that my wife was out of town and I couldn't find the laundry detergent, so I used dishwasher detergent instead. (Do not try this at home. Professional stunt drivers recommended.)
