They are hard, but they are plastic, so they don't scratch, but can really scrape off burned on things that scrubbers just won't budge. I think I used to set my oven just above warm for sauce reduction, it came with an insert that removes for cleaning which helps, trying to clean the whole thing without ruining the electric portion is a nightmare.

There may be hope for me, yet!

Great tip about the square hard plastic thingies- I'll look the next time I'm in shopping mode. My turkey oven has a removable insert so that is a big help.

So if anyone has any suggestions for how to clean these roasting pans without scrubbing off the finish, I'm all ears.

Try OxiClean (powder). It might work.

I steamed some beans the other day on high heat..... aheim.... without any water

My pot was black and thought I ruined it. Oxiclean overnight, all gone in the morning.

Thanks, Full Moon- I'll definitely give that a try next time. Been there, done that with the waterless cooking in regular pots.
