Washing Soda on pans that are not coated or Aluminium will shift it if allowed to soak for a couple of hours.

what about putting some vinegar in and heating up should help to break it down

On those very rare:rolleyes: occasions when I've burnt stuff on stainless steel I've found a brillo pad and elbow grease brings it back lovely!:D

Biological washing powder and water brought to the boil and then simmer for about half an hour should shift the worst of it.

Have used bar keepers friend on saucepans and frying pans. Can buy it at lots of places. It's also good for cleaning ceramic hobs!

No point using biological powder if your going to boil it, you'll hav destroyed the enzymes at around 60C anyway.

Love barkeepers friend, cant say i've used it on my pans though.

Dh burnt a pan yesterday and he soaked it with a bit of stardrops, today it has come up as new, another use for my stardrops then:D

Or if you can't get it clean go to ikea they have a cheap 24cm frying pan suitable for use twice a week for just 99p. I brought a couple myself and they seem to be pretty light yet sturdy as they are made from aluminium.
