How do you "season" your oven racks?
After running the self-cleaning cycle on my oven, the racks are now kind of bare and don't slide in and out easily. Is there a way to "season" them like you would cast-iron?
Best Answer
The racks are probably chromed, so you should not have to season them.
I'd remove them from the oven and give them a good wipe with clear water to remove and residues that the self-cleaning cycle might put on them (especially if you you cleaning products).
And also wipe clean the channels where the racks slide in the oven (on each side)

The method: Lay an old towel in the bottom of a bathtub, place the oven rack on top, then dissolve about a 1/2 cup of liquid or powder dishwasher detergent in a warm bath. Let the oven rack soak overnight, then rinse clean with a scrubby sponge and clean water.Seasoning Your Baking Sheets to Improve Browning
