Salve Brennivs,

I have just found this site which gives other options. I'm not sure about hydrogen peroxide though as the acidity could weaken the bones. It depends what you are going to make. Caustic soda is fine to use as long as you are careful and is more effective than sodium carbonate*. This method is used by biologists to prepare specimens.

It states in the article not to use aluminium pans or cutlery when boiling, that is a very good point. You'll get hydrogen bubbles! hock:
In fact you probably won'tneed to boil when using caustic soda, so a plastic pot will be OK

* If you try the sodium carbonate method instead , don't use biological washing powder as a substitute- the enzymes in it will begin to digest the bones :lol:
