I tried finding the vid with the Oz guy. No beans. He used 3 different acids I think. He also used baking soda in one of the experiments.
General If you have rust you will thank me.

Rust never sleeps
Annnd Nobody gives a shit.@jason73 You might like this. This just posted. This guy explains how to do it pretty simply. Really nice results.
Apparently you did enough to post. I will acquire more content for you not to be interested in, in the coming days.

I was gonna ask if this would work on my stovetop drip pans but besides the fact that it would be cheaper just to replace the pans, I'm gonna try a baking soda/vinegar solution I saw on YouTube.
Those round things under the burners? The Evapo-Rust is around $26 per gallon. It's just a math issue. Not sure how much those cost. You can reuse the stuff if the rust isn't too bad. If you don't have room it's a pain to store. Vinegar is suppose to work but slow and not as well. You could probably get away with a quart or half gallon if you did 1 or 2 at a time.

Yeah they're like $2 apiece so four of them would cost less than a bottle of evaporust.
Yup just replace them.
There is a lot of old cheap rust removal tricks you can try with things you probably have at home
Sprinkle a little bit of salt on the rust, then squeeze the lime over the salt until it is soaking. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 hours and then remove the rust with the lime rind. This can also be done with a lemon. We like the salt and lime a little more because they double as margarita ingredients as well.
Vinegar Soak
White Vinegar
Baking Soda + Water
Hydrogen Peroxide
all work well with a little effort

Is the vinegar soak something different than white vinegar?
No, depends what you have lying around.
I'm sure if you ask a female she might give you a different opinion
