Option #1

Wrap with paper towels, soak down with straight Clorox bleach then put in a bag so it stays moist over night unless you can find a plastic tub to soak them in. I have used bleach in the bottom of my porcelain pots when they have burnt on food for years and it works great. The bleach eats the enzymes and the burnt just disappears over night.

Option #2

Individually wrap the grates in several layers of newspaper. WORKING OUTDOORS, soak the newspaper in household ammonia (water) with or without soap. Immediately slip the wrapped soaked grills in a single heavy-duty plastic garbage bag, fold over the end, and leave outdoors, overnight. BE CERTAIN TO STAY UPWIND FROM THE AMMONIA! (You are probably better off doing this on a concrete or masonry surface, and NOT grass!)

The next day, remove the grates and hose them off. Then scrub them (use a bristle brush) with soap (or liquid dish detergent) and water. Hose them off again.

This will (supposedly) clean them!

Option #3.

If your oven is "self-cleaning", put the grates in it, and start the cleaning cycle.

Option #4.

Again, OUTDOORS, set the grates on a large flattened plastic bag, and spray with Easy Off oven cleaner. WARNING: this is a highly corrosive sodium hydroxide spray -- use rubber gloves and eye protection! Again, stay upwind! After the package recommended time, hose off, and scrub, using clean wash water.
