Can you clean oven with steel wool?
While steel wool is off limits for the glass and interior of the oven, you can use it for the racks. While they’re in your sink (or bathtub), scrub away the burnt-on char with some steel wool or the abrasive side of a sponge. Once they’re clean, dry them off and put them back into the oven. That’s it!
