What type is it? Aluminium or steel?

A few suggestions, all related to boiling–
1. Pour water into your pan and bring to a boil, then add soda crystals and let soak.
2. Fill your pan with Coca-Cola, and bring to a boil.
3. Pour water into your pan, bring to a boil, add lots of salt and let soak.

Any of the above techniques should let you scrub off the burnt part easily.

Use Oven Cleaner. Spray or pour all over surface. Place inside strong plastic trash bag and tie off opening.

Let sit for 24–48 hours in as warm a place such as a sunny area of yard.

Take out of bag being careful not to breath in the vapors. Wear plastic gloves and use plenty of hot soapy water and a plastic scrub sponge to clean.

This is the safest and easiest way to use lye which should pretty much get off any burnt food no matter how badly it is baked on.

I’m going on the assumptions that simper methods such as baking soda paste and a good soak in hot detergent water have already been tried and failed. If not, then use these simpler methods.

If it is stainless steel, try SOS pads first, but ONLY on stainless steel.

I had a borrowed a stainless steel pot and accidentally burnt it.

Best is to fill the pot with hot water, leave it for a while.

Get a few sponges, use washing detergent and spend the next 2 hours scrubbing it. It works for me.

No easy way i supose to do this. If it is a cheap pot or pan just throw it away and get a new one.

If it isn’t Teflon, I’d use Barkeeper’s Friend.

Or you could try dishwashER liquid and hot water. It’s done wonders for me with burnt on food. (let it soak a few hours)
(edited that… as in the liquid detergent you buy for an automatic dishwasher)

I just did that to a stainless steel pan. I put water in it and let it sit for a day. Then I used Barkeeper’s Friend and got all of the black staining off it.

Barkeeper’s Friend is a cleaner for stainless steel that contains oxalic acid.

@Darwin It works wonders on cast iron, also. If you don’t mind re-seasoning it.

Basically, the black stuff you would be removing from the stainless steel is the same stuff that serves as “seasoning” on a cast iron pot.

And it isn’t hard to re-season cast iron. A little vegetable oil smeared on it and some time in the oven does the trick nicely.
