wet spark plug - dead spark plug?

[Konstantin Bogach]

Sorry,  I probably was not clear:  I remember a post saying that after 
being wet the spark plug never worked properly again.  The original 
problem - why plug got wet - was fixed.  The plug was reported never 
worked properly after that.  Even after cleaning and baking.  And it 
sounded like not just one plug observation but more as a rule.  That's 
why I decided to ask.  
My plugs are in oil because of loosened spark plug and bad gasket.
So,  I can clean plugs in degreaser and use them,  can't I?  No baking 
required?  If required,  what temperature and time?

Thanks you.
Konstanitn.
