Abstract: An apparatus includes structure defining a chamber containing brushes with bristles. The chamber has an opening that, in use, is at the top of the structure so that the chamber is upwardly-open. The chamber and opening are sized so that the prongs of a roasting utensil are insertable into the chamber to be scrubbed by the brushes and so that the brushes support the roasting utensil in an upright position for efficient and safe storage when not in use.

Abstract: Filtering of an operating fluid of a mechanical device is performed utilizing a pumping device of the mechanical device which routinely circulated the operating fluid within the mechanical device. A remote filtering station of the present invention has a first conduit to contain the operating fluid during transfer from the mechanical device, a filter and a second conduit to contain the operating fluid during transfer back to the mechanical device. In the most preferred embodiment a filter replacement adapter is attached in place of the mechanical device's filter during the filtering procedure. The mechanical device is operated during the filtering procedure where the pumping device of the mechanical device circulates the operating fluid through the mechanical device and through the filter of the remote filtering station. This provides for a cleansing of all of the conduits of the mechanical device which routinely has the operating fluid circulated therethrough.
