The burnt on stuff could not be removed sufficiently to restore
them to their original porous state. And they were dirt cheap
so I thought I would just get new ones. Easier than cleaning them.
(I tried scouring them but didn't help.)

I don't use a dishwasher. I hate dishwashers.

Also, I don't have s self-cleaning oven.

But thanks for the suggestions anyway.
