I believe that most of the time you are not going to be placing food directly on your oven racks.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Do you think unscented fabric softener sheets would work? Seems trivial but I wonder if unscented sheets have a different make up that wouldn't work as well.
Will this work for racks on a BBQ grill?
Do they work on black enameled oven racks?
