Yes, then next time, spray with Pam before using.  It helps

I put mine in the dish washer and they come out spotless every time (mostly).

Someone told me on the forum here that pam was just canola oil.  SO since then I just pull out my peanut oil on a paper towl and rub them down, works pretty good.  Also don't let them sit aound before you clean them, I put mine in some hot soapy water right away.  My only problem now is that they look like copper and chrome is coming off.

I thought the racks were solid stainless steel not just a coating.I have not had any peeling or chipping but I do wipe down with oil(canola,olive)and they clean up just great.The only time I had a sticky mess was with salmon jrky[:p] I made and forgot to oil one of the racks[:(!]
