"HOWEVER ... the racks do not fit in my dishwasher as I hoped ... also don’t fit in my slop sink ... also despite the published dimensions indicate otherwise, they don’t fit in the sterilite tubs I bought at Wallyworld (didn’t have a tape measure with me) ... have ordered some huge ones off
Amazon should do the trick. Won’t clean up quite as well as the dishwasher would have done, but oh well ...You using any particular cleaners on inside and/or outside surfaces? So far just used Dawn inside and damp cloth outside. Didn’t do the ‘burn off’ but that sounds like a good idea."
IF it becomes absolutely necessary, you can use oven cleaner. It won't hurt the stainless steel. I had to do that once due to a rodent infestation; little buggers gained entry through the bottom vent hole.
