Dealing with Burned (Burnt) Pans

I burnt my revere frying pan and there are now scratches, it is 2-3 years old and cost a pretty penny.
Shall I throw it out? Or is it still safe to keep?

I burned a farberware pot badly cooking chocolate fudge; I forgot it was a new stove and heats hotter and faster than previous burner. There is a 1/8 inch black burnt coating over bottom of pan. Tried warm water with box baking soda overnight. Tried heating slightly and trying to scrape .. nothing. Am wondering if I have to throw pot away.

Thanks for the tip about washing powder, worked a treat on a jam pan I thought I'd ruined!

When I have burnt pan or at least discolored, I cook an apple or sometimes even the peelings, makes it look new again , doesn't take much only a few inches of water with a few peelings
