Does anyone bother stripping the black tar junk off the all stainless dishwashers?
I considered it but figured it would be more of a hassle and lost weight.
What do you guys think?

I use a blunt chisel and remove all of it that I can. My yard downgrades it otherwise.
A heavy hammer blow from the inside of the panel loosens it right up making removal easier.
If your yard accepts the panels with the dampening sheet attached then leave them on.
I have done a few of these, not a fun job! Technique and method I found was to let the sun soften it up for a couple of hours. Then outside in front of a fan (maximum ventilation), We use a heat gun with a scrapper attachment. We also will cut these stainless steel sheets into smaller sizes, making easier to handle before cleaning. I have never cleaned them 100%, just get the thick stuff off! Then sell with the rest of your stainless.
Ya my yard takes em as is... of course I strip the goodies off first... seems like a bit of intense labour in cleaning up the stainless... may it be non-magnetic and all but a lot of hassle.
Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated.
my yard will accept it if i clean it a fair amount- cos its not shred- its stainless
and the tar adds a bit of weight-which would be cheating the yard(not that they dont cheat me a bit regularly)
My yard won't even accept it as SS, they said they can't get the stuff off and its considered ''foreign'' SS which is cheesy I guess so they buy it as regular steel.

I got another one. A boitch... Oh sorry... Bosch. Did some math. 11lbs. tar. By math. Gonna set it outside. -10C. Hit it with a hammer couple times form the inside. Cold for those don't want to think of the conversion to F. I'd rather not think sometimes.
Yep TK's right.
Put it outside in the cold. Anything less than 5% of the difference from the freezing point of water to its boiling point will do.
Then put on some earmuffs and bash the inside of the dishwasher with a rubber hammer.
The tar can be handy if you have metal roofing with a hole in it. Paint the tar over the hole and sprinkle sand over the tar.
Fills holes and stops rust.
