Also can add I turn the pan upside down while in the oven so any excess oil can drip to a pan below and not pool in the bottom causing that sticky lair.
Good call, I do put them upside down on the top rack with a cookie sheet on the bottom rack to catch the oil. I forgot to mention that.
Ive done more lighter layers in the past and found that no matter what I do cooking in it is what really does it although I think your right more lighter layers probably does a little better.
This also works good on rusty traps or cleaning rusty carbon knives.
