Not sure if this fits on this board.  
I am looking to clean off baked-on grease - really quite a thick layer but it is not burnt to charcoal, it looks like a thick coat of varnish.
The tray has a non stick coating too.  I have tried acetone and petrol these had no effect at all. It might be different if I dipped it for a few hours in petrol or acetone but I don't fancy doing that, maybe  petrol,  but acetone is too expensive to waste.  

What would work ?  and will it harm the non stick? 

Thanks

  • Whatever you are going to use will no doubt wreck the non stick

    For cooking grease you need soap and hot water and unfortunately a lot of elbow grease

    Soak over night in a soapy solution of bio washing powder

    I gave up on non stick trays years ago. I now use  enamel trays, Ive had the same two for over 30 years and both look as new. I use a sheet of non stick parchment ( use the same piece time and time again ) and the trays get scrubbed regularly with the stainless steel scourers
