Cleaning porcelain burner grates

Jun 03, 2004 4 Replies

I have a cooktop with porcelain burner grates. The grates have acquired some brown stains from burnt on grease. I have tried running them through the dishwasher but it had little effect on the stains.



What is the easiest way to remove these stains? Would putting them in the oven on a self cleaning cycle be safe and effective? Thank you in advance for all replies.
