It worked! I used the tip for using Dawn on my burnt pan and it worked! But I had to improve on the tip a little since my pan was really burnt.
First I squirted Dawn in the pan and filled it half way with water and boiled the mixture in the pan for 5 minutes, scraping the bottom with a metal spatula every once in a while. Then after the 5 minutes, I scraped some more, poured the water out and scraped again. This removed a lot of the burnt crust. I repeated this step one more time.
After a second round of boiling and scraping, I then filled the bottom of the pan with coarse sea salt and scoured the pan with a Magic Eraser sponge. This helped remove anything that was holding on for dear life.
The very last step I took was to do one last wipe down with the Magic Eraser.
The pan now looks great!

You're not done yet! I'm sure your pan looks great however, the next time you use it your food will stick & burn to it again. To avoid this you will have to "season" the pan again. Take your clean dry pan & put it back on the stove burner. Heat up the pan carefully so you don't burn it again. When red hot pour a tablespoon or so of oil into the pan & swish it around coating the entire bottom & sides.
Carefully take a few layers of paper towels (don't burn your hands on hot pan) and rub the hot oil into the pan. Soak up residue oil and discard paper towels. Let pan cool on cold burner of stove. Now you've got a shiny great looking pan that won't burn food again unless your flame is too high!
Great tip
The best solution to clean is to use Arm & Hammer washing soda. Soak the pan with hot water and some soda. Let soak for a while and then clean with a scrubber.
