It sounds like that plastic booster stuff that another reader suggested will really do the trick!!
I was going to suggest trying those magic erasers. I haven't found ANYTHING it won't clean. They were orginally made by Mr. Clean, but I know that Target also has their own generic brand of them that works equally well.
I've gotten lipstick out of clothes, black permanent marker off of my wood dining room table, ink pen off walls, and stains off my countertops that no cleaner or even bleach would take off. I LOVE these eraser things!
It sounds like the plastic booster is a sure bet-- but it also sounds like it may be hard to find sometimes. So if you're unable to find it, the magic erasers might be worth a try as well.

Good luck!

Oh Boy! One I can answer perfectly! Ok ladies, this product is sometime hard to find, but worth the search. Its Cascade Plastic Booster, thats the name on the label. It is in a green and blue tube and found near the other dishwashing products. I have found it once in a while at Target and at other times in the grocery stores. It is recommended by Tupperware too! Well worth the search and money, really does work!

Well, I know how to prevent it... before you place the food in the container, brush it with a little olive oil...

How to get it out once it is already there... not too sure... sorry.
