Any way to get the golden brown patina/spots off other than a lot of hard scrubbing?

Do you have dishwasher? You can use a strong detergent, and might get more staining off. You could try soaking the pan with some denture-cleaning tablets . If you put the stained one inside another, bigger one, you won't have to make as much solution.

i have got the really bad baked on stuff off,that had been there a long time, by taking it to my deck placing glass dish in a plastic bag and spraying with over cleaner, leave over night and it cleans right off

I just use a plastic scrubber and it comes right off. If not, make a paste of baking soda and lemon juice.

Baking soda on a damp rag or oven cleaner- if you are not adverse to using it, will take off pretty much anything.

Tried baking soda, that is some long (15 min +/-), hard scrubing. I'm my mother's lazy child.

On my everyday stuff,I use a Brillo pad and hot water. I like the oven cleaner and baking powder/vinegar ideas-They are probably easier on the dish.

Make a pretty strong solution of boiling water and washing soda, in a pan larger than the offending dish. Submerge the dish and let it set until cool. If it doesn't come right off, repeat the treatment and actually let it simmer for a bit. Works for me. OH, by the way, on metal (no plastic handles) pans, I clean them up by putting them in the wood stove while the stuff burns off - - -even where the pan has been burned until it stuck. Works!!!

I boil water in things like that,
amazing how slightly soapy water can dissolve many things when in combination with a good brush, plastic usually works, but steel if needed

Any way to get the golden brown patina/spots off other than a lot of hard scrubbing? Carburetor spray cleaner works great! |

the other method I have seen (other than using boiling soapy water)
is to use a round brush in a drill,
find a new toilet brush that has a round shaft, then cut the larger handle off and put it in the drill
now you can scrub all you want (likely using Ajax) with almost no effort

Try putting the dish in a sealed bag with some ammonia, and leaving overnight. This works great with my stove grates. Then just wash in soapy water the next day.

DH uses it from time to time and it does work great but I hate the smell. One thing that works for me and smells better than 'carb cleaner' is a paste of cream of tarter and lemon juice. Make a rather wet paste and coat the utensil let sit then scrub. |

I love the smell of that stuff. In fact, my wife says that my WD-40 and Hoppes #9 are her favorite brands of men's cologne. |
