    The original old fashioned tip was to boil rhubarb leaves in the pan - as they are poisonous they are difficult to get hold of now!
    Not if you've got an OS vegatable patch!! :j

    Thanks for the rhubarb tip tho - I'd never heard that one before! :T

    The boiling with washing powder helped enormously but there was still a lot burned on. It all came off in the end with elbow grease! thanks for all the suggestions. I'll try the rhubarb leaves next time!

    Remember that rhubarb leaves are a great deterrant!

    When DH is teasing me I just have to mutter the words "rhubarb leaves" and he backs off remarkably quickly;)

    Dishwasher powder with boiling water seems to remove most burnt on gunk.

    Aldi do something called "Magnum Power Spray" which shifts anything. Not too expensive, and you just spray it on the burnt bits and leave it a while. Then rinse off and wash as normal.

    You could have used Fairy powerspray, I use it on the BBQ and oven tins, it does work, but its not really OS, its full of god knows what chemicals but for really bad gunk it does work.
