| Tried the ammonia on the newspaper to get some badly burned on grease off an almost new t-fal no stick frying pan, but it didn't work. It did work on the grease screen I put into the same bag, though.
Any other suggestions? I left it in there for two days, out in the sun one day. |

| Are you talking about on the inside or outside of the pan? Inside, just soak it in a good dish soap like Dawn or Joy. Outside of the pan, try some BarKeepers Friend. Otherwise the Power Dissolver works good on a variety of burned on things. It was the only thing I've found that will take off "Pam" from baking pans. Maybe a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is worth a try too. Even try a direct coating of the dish soap, full strength and let it sit. |

| First cleaning product I always reach for is baking soda. Try making a paste of it with water. Spread on the burned spot (whether inside or outside of the pot), let sit a bit, then scrub with a nylon scrubby. Baking soda is safe--it's non-toxic and non-abrasive, it's cheap, you have it on hand, it's super effective (I've even gotten grape juice and Koolaid stains out of white formica with it) and it's anti-bacterial. And I've yet to find a kitchen mess it won't clean. |

| Inside of the pan, around the top. Grease overheated and got burnt out. I got most of the gunk out of the bottom by putting Dawn in water and putting it on low heat, covered, for about an hour, but the hard stuff on the top of the inside still didn't come off. I guess I'll just have to use elbow grease to save the pan. I just bought it! Stupid me just got on the computer and let it burn. |

| junkyardgirl - whose pan isn't yet ready for the junkyard, Get a kitchen timer when you have the stove on under a pot and have been seduced by the computer. I did. It works ... sometimes. Trouble is, I twisted the handle too hard to set it going, and knocked the little stick-out thing off that triggers the bell, so now there's no "Ding" ... and it just runs on. Life do have its problems! ole joyful |

| Junkyardgirl - hope you’re still lurking here, even if you said you’re going elsewhere. To atone for any misconceived assault on your integrity, let me humbly offer a solution to your frying pan problem - if it's still not resolved. Otherwise, try this method next time... I support the suggested "reaching for the baking soda" BUT use it in a different way... Put enough water to cover the burnt area on the bottom. The burnt material should come off more easily, using scrub pad (plastic and safe for teflon pans) Explanation: Boiling causes the Sodium Bicarbonate to break up into Sodium Carbonate, releasing carbon dioxide Method should not be used on plain aluminum utensils - they’ll be eaten / corroded. Please re-consider and keep yourself here. You’ve given lots of time, energy & research acumen in providing lots of tips for folks here. Others will still return your favors with their own ideas. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face, so to speak. d2e1 |

| I have loosened burned material from pans by soaking them in a sink with vinegar and water for about 20 minutes and then scrubbing. |
