Had a leaking chicken bag, and this stuff cooked on to the element and even the metal sleeve. I've scrubbed these things before, I've even tried cooking in vinegar water (which still required scrubbing). I'm wondering if there is an easier way.

Idk about the element, but you can a sponge and some bar keepers friend to the metal tube.
You get the bkf to a pasty consistency and you just scrub it onto the tube with a sponge.
Rather than cooking in vinegar water, try soaking in pure vinegar and clean with an old toothbrush.. I had hard water for a long time and my element got residue like this.
Amidosulfonic acid
I’d be curious what running it in some peroxide would do
Put it in vinegar overnight and gently scrub off the residue. It’s super easy and everything will get 100% clean
