Anodized parts/pieces can removed by placing them into a solution of Sodium Hydroxide. Alot oven cleaners still contain sodium hydroxide, which will strip the anodized layer off.
You will have to let the pieces soak in the solution for a few minutes (not sure how long). The removed anno will reveil a dull aluminum that will easily scratch, so your better off to have it polished and reanodized clear.
Also keep in mind that
safety glasses and thick rubber gloves should be worn for your protection. Losing your eyesight and suffering chemical burns definitely aren't worth stripping the anno off..... so safety first.
As always, if you're unsure on how to properly do this.... then have a professional do it for you.
