Rinse with too-hot-to-touch water, maybe a little brushing with a bristle brush, and the parts are ready to work on or coat with oil for storage. I've only used it on steel parts, so you might want to try a sacrificial piece of aluminum or brass.

We do Aluminum Crankcases for model engines in the Crockpot all the time. Use Automobile Anti-Freeze for Aluminum Radiators mixed with 10% water. Leave overnight on low heat and the Aluminum will be nice and clean after rinsing with water in the morning.
