Is there any product that'll clean aluminum tin cookie sheets and pie pans like Easy Off cleans stainless steel and glass? I can't stand the baked on grime anymore!

You will never get it clean. Aluminum is not a good idea too cook on. (08/15/2005)

Aluminum cookie sheets are hard to clean once the fat gets baked on. Depending on how much you value your cookie sheets, there are a couple of things you can try.
If you don't care too much about them, use steel wool on them. Under running water, very, very lightly scrub the dark brown surface until it flakes away. You'll be able to get most of the guck off. If you are very persnickety about your pans, use a Mr. Clean Eraser and do the same thing. It works more slowly, but you are less likely to scratch or gouge your pans with this product. (08/15/2005)

I wouldn't use a Mr. Clean magic eraser on any dishes or surfaces you eat off of directly. I've done a lot of research on this. Basically the small, microscopic particles from the foam will stay on the surface of whatever you're scrubbing and you end up ingesting them.
According to my research, any bits of melamine foam would be rinsed off, just like any other sponge. It's basically a fine grit sandpaper. The only danger to ingesting it would be if it was a large enough piece to cause blockage. It's best to keep it away from children and pets but it seems very safe for normal cleaning uses.
Here are two good articles that talk about the substance and the misinformation out there.
