What methods are recommended to clean these black bits on the stainless without ruining the finish?
I remember some discussion about this a while back but can't seem to find it.

Those leave scratches even on stainless so that's a no no. Someone had mentioned oven cleaner in the past I think and I have one of those magic eraser pads somewhere.

I'll try this one, there is another "original" version at 3x the cost.
