Steam works well. Or a pressure washer, or you can take them to a high pressure self car wash. Iron absorbs oils. Natural gas can also stain them. In time the black will have a brown haze. Heat proof black paint is also available. A range is to cook with. A bit of brown on the grates don't bother me. | ||

I have cleaned aluminium cookware in my self clean oven to great results. I wouldn't hesitate to put them in the self clean oven to clean them. They are designed to withstand high temperatures and the will come out like new.
I do put the drip pans and grates into the dishwasher for my own range. I have never put them in the self clean because mine are enamel coated since it is a 24 year old GE that is almond in color. | ||

I have a Siemens gas cook top, and toss the grates in the dishwasher often. Never had an issue. But after 9 or 10 years of use they have built up a nice patina and have zero risk of rusting. | ||

Thank you guys for all the info! Maytagbear. The user manual says I don't need to remove the oven racks before the self clean because the racks are self clean-proof. It actually encourages to put all the racks in the oven (even the ones that are clean) every time you self clean the oven. | ||

Best Way To clean Gas Burner Grates
When they have burned on residue is putting them in your Self-Cleaning oven [ with any rubber bumpers removed first of course]
The problem with the oven racks not sliding easily after a SC cycle is easily corrected. When you are wiping any residue out of the oven after a SCC with a damp cloth you simply wipe a little cooking oil on the outer rails of the oven racks with a paper towel and they will immediately slide better than when the oven was new.
