    A Dremel and a copper wire brush wheel or a steel wire brush wheel will take that stuff right off. If you have a cordless drill they make wire brush attachment heads for them as well and those will scrape more off at once b/c its a larger wheel. Another Dremel attachment head that works really well on that kind of stuff is called an "abrasive wheel" or "abrasive buffing wheel." It looks like a wad of brillo like material in the shape of a donut but its packed with abrasive grit and when the Dremel spins its basically cutting the stuff off physically but doesn't deform the steel at all. A Dremel wire brush wheel will also remove hair dye stains from vinyl showers. Just spritz with a little water and it scrapes it right off without scarring the vinyl of the bath tub/shower.

    I just use oven cleaner or grill cleaner. It is the most wonderful discovery I made. Just spray it on, leve it for a couple of minutes (read the instructions coz oven cleaners need about 15 minutes, grill cleaners need less, ass less as just 2 minutes)..... And then clean it of with very minimal scrubbing required. This discovery made my life so much easier since I have chronic shoulder pain and can't really scrub anything, especially with force.

    ......and you're doing all this scrubbing why? Honey go get a can of Easy Off heavy duty oven cleaner spray. Do not get the fume free because it isn't strong enough. Put some newspaper down on your patio and spray any pots and pans outside with the oven cleaner spray so the fumes stay out of your house. Walk away for an hour. Return with a few paper towels and simply wipe away the gunk. Take the pots inside and wash. If the gunk on the pots are burned and caked on let the spray stay on the pots for 2-3 hours. Your pots will look brand new. You're welcome!

    Here a tip for ya since youre obviously having issues with this, use oven cleaner. Heat you pan to about 200° and then spray the back with a thick coat of oven cleaner. Helps to do it outside cause itll stink and burn your doggies nose if you have pets. Let sit for about 5 min and scrub while rinsing for maybe :30 seconds to 1:00 at most
