I want to use on my over racks that stick and maybe corroded from using oven clean. Safe?

Sorry for the delay but I don't think so. It is very thin and while it may not hurt you, I think you would be better off using a mechanical means of removing the corrosion. I would actually go and get a couple of grades of steel wool and see which one works the best at physical removal or the rust and corrosion. If you have some tiny little areas you want to clean, that you cannot reach with steel wool, I would use a brass or stainless brush in my Dremmel Tool (make sure you wear safety glasses particularly if working in the oven). Problem is of course is that with your continued use of oven cleaner, those area that have already corroded, will begin to corrode again once new oven cleaner is applied. If faced with this problem, I would leave the oven cleaner on just long enough to soften grease and crud, and then well wash your shelves and oven walls, and DRY EVERYTHING WELL. Use your wife's hair dryer or heat gun to make sure walls and shelves do not stay "wet" overnight and start to corrode over again. Any product you can find will either burn off, melt, or be too thin to maintain itself unless you can find so type of high temperature silicone grease, which would be found in industrial and commercial baking applications. I have food safe silicone grease for my meat grinder gears where it stays in place perfectly - it of course is not subject to high temperatures found in an oven interior. Don't know if any of this has helped. Let me know if it does and feel free to ask another question.

It will be great for that, especially with the non stick coating! For even easier clean up put a piece of foil with the edges rolled up to collect the grease under the wire rack to be tossed out.

The product is meant to protect something from heat, not to wrap "heat" and keep it in to protect "the outside". So it depends how hot the oven becomes. The adhesive side might not like to be in direct contact with a very hot surface. If the oven is sort of hot, that's probably OK. It is very hot, then you may want to consider coating something else next to it that may suffer from the heat. I hope this is helpful for what that's worth...

I don't think this would be a problem. I do know you should not use spray oils on the pans. The propellent in these sprays ruins any non-stick finishes.

Yes, no problem. We do use a brush on them to clean them after using them for meat in the oven, but it isn't a problem.

I did..The rack worked great...Use foil in the bottom of the pan it makes for easier clean up ..and beware of washing it in the dishwasher because over time washing it in the dishwasher causes it to rust

You shouldn't be able to. The coating on this pan is baked on; I scrub mine pretty hard when I clean it. Since it's cast iron, the only way you *could* (not likely) damage it is if you somehow removed the coating on the ridges. If you did, you would be exposing the bare cast iron underneath. A simple test would be to soak the pan in water for some time then dump the water out and let it air dry. If you see rust anywhere, you have an issue. Again, I really can't imagine that's the case though, and you may just have some baked-on debris between the ridges.

Since it doesn't have non-stick coatings all should be safe. I use all three without any scratching. Quick tip for cleaning; if you get baked on grease, etc, just pour a cup or two of water in the pan and heat to just about a boil and use a utensil to loosen up the baked on mess. Hope that helps! I love this pan! I now have three in different sizes.

I use bar keepers friend...on my pots, pans (not on non stick) glass top stove, tub, toilet and stainless steel sink...it works wonders for $1.34!

The package I have says, "surface clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Not dishwasher safe." Seems like they could withstand the top rack of a dishwasher, but maybe it's the heat that isn't good for them?

Sadly no. It will mess up your finish. Immediately soak in warm soapy water as soon as you are done cooking and it cleans up very easy. Use Bar Keepers Friend to keep it shiny and DO NOT use cooking spray on these pans. It will stick to the pans and you can hardly scrub it off. The spray coats the pans all over and most of the spray cooks onto the outside of the pan. I hope this helps!!

Clean pretty easily with an SOS pad. They are not non-stick per se, but not much really sticks to them. Had mine for 2 seasons of camping and haven't had any issues with Rust.

They say they are dishwasher safe on the top rack. My experience has been that they lose the pan lining over time. The unlined pans are fine, but the non-stick variety start to wear around the edges.

When you get home, seal your pans in a plastic bag with a few tablespoons of ammonia in a little cup or dish. The gas of the ammonia loosens the burned on food and charring so that you can easily wash it off. Works great for older pans and oven racks that have burned on gunk too.

I have only used on our Barbecue Grill. Very strong but very effective in cleaning. We also used on stainless steel racks in oven and did not cause any issues

I would not advise you to buy these racks. We purchased 3 of them and was told that they would withstand up to 450 degrees. We only used them once and while cleaning them, found the wires loose and some were rusty. I do not think they are of very good quality or should not be cooked on at all.Hope this helps.

Yes... It is the water that initially breaks down the coating on the dish rack and yes... Once that coating is fully compromised, it will rust. The chemicals and other properties of the water will just eat away at it over time, however, the best solution has already been stated. Buy a can of Rustoleum Clear Coat or any regular Polyurethane that will adhere to the coating, whether that be chrome or plastic, and spray it all over the rack... And don't forget to remove the plastic utensil holder, if there is one, and DO spray the feet. Two applications are best so it will take a couple of days to paint, dry and recoat... Then to dry, fully, for use. Yes... It is the water that initially breaks down the coating on the dish rack and yes... Once that coating is fully compromised, it will rust.
