I copied this from a thread that Laura replied to. Never had to try it until today. It works like a charm!
Tips For Cleaning a Burned Pan
This is from Laura:
I got this from E-How. I have never tried it but...
cover pan completely with a generous amount of baking soda. Drizzle in just enough water to create a thick paste, smearing the paste up the sides of the pot if needed. Set aside for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Without rinsing the pot, add 3 parts water to 1 part distilled vinegar to cover the burned area by at least 2 inches (5 cm). Boil for 10 minutes and then leave overnight.
Repeat as needed.

I did not find it necessary to soak again overnight. I just reheated the same solution in the pan a couple of times and after sitting for a few hours, the burnt stuff came right off. Amazing!
