I lay my racks in the bathrub, cover them with water and maybe a cleaner such as ammonia or mr. clean. let them soak, then scour them. you have to clean the tub when your done,, but it works. i clean grill racks in the tub too.

The idea about the trash bag and ammonia is something I may try the next time. I usually fill my laundry tub up with hot water and add ammonia to that. I just guess at the amount. I let them stay in the solution overnight. The next day, I wipe them with a 'green sponge.' If there is a really stubborn spot, I may need to put a little 'elbow grease' behind it.

I use the Ammonia in a heavy duty bag method & have found this is the only way to go,open the bag away from your face when opening as the fumes are very strong,then I use the garden hose full force & all the grime just washes off,very easy Wattle

PS I do find it is best to leave overnight for best results.

I put the racks in a trash bag and then spray them with oven cleaner. Close the bag and leave outside overnight. I clean my toaster oven racks the same way only I put them in a large ziplock bag(I'm not sure if it is a 1 or 2 gallon). Very easy clean up.

I tried the ammonia and trash bag thingy a couple of weeks ago when I cleaned my oven and was surprised how well that worked. I put it outside on the patio over night and what little junk was left on them, was easy to wipe off.

We were told never to leave our racks in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle.... the finish will be removed. I'll try the ammonia method.

I leave mine in the oven too. They are ok, but they do dull up and are a little harder to move in and out. Easier than the alternative though--except for the idea of putting them in bag with ammonia--that's a good one.

I put my racks in a large trash bag, pour in 2-4 cups of plain ammonia, tie the bag shut and leave them overnight. You won't believe how easy the grime comes off the next day. Pat
