Boy did I make a mess. I forgot I had a plastic cake pan in my oven. Turned the oven on and the thing melted all over my rack. How do I get it off? It's on there as hard as a rock. It stands to reason that if I heat it up, it will melt but I'm not going to put it back in my oven to melt it. What an awful smell. Took a few days to get the smell out.
Any ideas?

Can you take the rack out and 'cook' it over the grill outside to melt it off? That way the odor would be outside instead of inside. (11/21/2005)

In a well-ventilated area (or outside) try melting the plastic with a hair dryer. (11/26/2005)

Cleanning Plastic Off of oven rcks
I went outside with a candle and got it hot enough and it came right off, I then brought them back in and scrubbed them, and they now are great again.
You can use a blow dryer to heat it up enough to soften and remove it.
