I took a telephone call and completely forgot my saucepan boiling my Udon noodles. I didn't think anything would shift the burnt-on food. How wrong I was.
I soaked the pot for two days with cheap cola (17p for 2 litres in my supermarket) and a dash of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda).
I was then able to remove all burnt residue with a ball of foil and it came up as shiny as if it was new! See my picture.

But Oxy-Clean is not 'thrifty'!
When I burn a pot I basically clean & dry it. Then I spray it with Easy Off oven cleaner and let it sit overnight. Next day I wipe it with a paper towel and the burnt food comes right off.
I am going to try this! my burnt pan has a nonstick finish so the aluminum foil scrubby isn't going to work. thanks!
The only tip that I can add is; when I have a really bad saucepan I fill it with hot water and put a little bit of soap powder in and then heat it up for about 30 minutes. Then it cleans the pan so you don't have to to any scrubbing.
I got the food out but the shiny finish is gone. is it safe to cook food in the pan
When I have a pan with burned on food, I put some water in the pan - just to cover the burn, and then put a dryer sheet in the pan. Leave it overnight. You'll be amazed! I was.
The best scrubber I've found that cleans pots and pans is

I burnt very badly a Faberware saucepan. I tried everything. I used every old fashioned method everyone told me was fool proof. NOT! Finally, I used hot soapy water, then dumped it out, I used Clorox Soft Scrub. a few squirts on the bottom, spread it over the bottom, let it sit for just a short time. It softened up the 1/4 inch burned on mess. I was able to chip it away with a butter knife easily.
I found this product, that I used to clean the metal on a travel trunk but then tried it on my burnt cookie sheets etc and it also worked wonderful there too. Called "Bar Keepers Friend" and use a steel wool-"Brillo pad" make a paste of the powder with water let it sit for awhile then scrub with wool pad.
