To clean the really cruddy drip pans from your stove, put them in a large pan with vinegar and boil the stuff off. Works like a charm, Just drop them in soapy dishwater and the come clean with very little work.
I haven't tried this method yet but I heard that if you use denture cleaner in pots and pans it too will just make the stuff drop off. Worth a try. I found some tablets on clearance at the store and plan to try it next time I have a baked on mess. I also heard about the dryer sheet method although I haven't tried that either. Probably because I've been too lazy to do anything more than microwave this summer. Maybe in the winter when I start baking again. LOL
Another method is to put it in the sink at night, fill it with boiling water, drop in a dryer sheet and just rinse it out in the morning. Any sticky spots left come off easily with a Scrubee. This works for all kind of baking pans, both metal & glass. It certainly makes short work of my utensils whenever I bake up a batch of potatoes au gratin.
