OMG, I hear you!!! My dh did the same thing with the stovetop grill not too
long ago. It turned portions of the white finish a yellow that won't come
off completely. Then, I did a stupid thing by turning on my self cleaning
oven and forgot to take the silicone linining out. It disintegrated all over
my oven and glass door and will not come off. I've tried just about
everything to deal with both issues but so far no success. I hope you find a
solution.
