Hi Richard!
What I do is to sprinkle liberally the burned part with baking soda, and then pour just enough water over the soda to make a paste. Let the pan sit overnight, and then take a scrubby and scrub the burned part. The debris should come off very easily, along with the baking soda paste.
Easy, good for the environment, and cheap! :)
Hope this helps,

Apply any of the following (as available) to the burnt parts, leave overnight and scrub with a stiff scouring pad next day:
- scouring powder + vinegar paste
- baking soda
- ash + lemon juice
- tamarind paste
use very little water, so it creates abrasion, and scrub away, it should come off.
All the best.

How do you clean burnt oil from a stainless steel pan?

RE: Burnt Oil on a Stainless Steel Pan

Greased Lightening, a cleanser in the cleaning aisle (also good for clothes and grease, but it's strong so spot test 1st). Also, you can try white vinegar and water, boil gently and try to loosen with a wooden spoon. But I find laying paper towels down, dousing with the cleanser, let sit over night and should wipe away. Good luck! (09/22/2006)

I have a burnt on food stain on my stainless steel pan from oil. I have tried baking soda, vinegar, simmering water with baking soda and vinegar and soapy water.

I tried everything suggested on how to remove the oil stain on my stainless steel fry pan and nothing worked. So I decided to try a razor blade scraper.

I have burnt a stainless steel saucepan. I had a little oil in the bottom of it and left it on the stove, it caught alight and now is quite burnt. I have tried cleaning it in the dishwasher to no avail. Please help.

I had an oil fire in my stainless steel pot. I got the burned oil off the bottom of the pot, but the black marks on the side won't come off, neither will the black dots on the outside. Anyone have any suggestions?

Someone had the heat up too high in my stainless steel frying pan and burned the olive oil right into it. No amount of scrubbing or soaking has helped, not even boiling Cascade. Any ideas?
