oven Racks

Oven racks are among the most frustrating things to clean. I have tried spraying them with an oven cleaner with the rest of the oven, which softens the burnt on gunk, but it doesn’t do a thorough job of cleaning them. I have also tried using a steel soap pad, but that scrapes off some of the finish on the rack rods. The solution: using a brass brush (looks like a metal grout brush, a little bigger than a tooth brush) to rub over the the rack rods. Does the trick efficiently and, miraculously, without dullling the chrome finish of the rack!
