Not a good idea in general for kitchen equipment. WD40 is really not something you want even the residue of anywhere near food.

Still at least it's not weeding, which many years ago was what a rather crazy friend used to use it and a lighter for.

You know the sort. The ones that say "Returned Stock. Sold as seen", or "This chassis has a 3.4V motor and should not be used on a 12V supply".

You know it is. That's why you bought it. But now, after peeling it off and scrubbing for 48 hours to no effect, you can now soak it with WD40 and all will be well.

Hazzah!

If you don't like the smell of WD40 and/or you are using it near food, eucalyptus oil is a great substitute.  :D
