Ever have oil from cookies, meats, or whatever you're cooking bake onto a "non-stick" pan. ALL THE TIME, right? I had flat out given up on getting that stuff off. I just would just cover it over with tinfoil. Well, some of the grease even was seeping under the tinfoil, and I tried this, and it worked! It actually got off the cooked on grease (all of the grease that had just been cooked on once, and even a lot of the grease that had been cooked and recooked on).
STEPS
1. Rinse off pan with water (hot preferable).
2. Sprinkle baking soda all over pan. Let sit a few minutes.
3. Get a sponge and soak it with vinegar, than sprinkle baking soda on the soft side of sponge for good measure.
4. With the SOFT side of the sponge down, apply elbow grease (ie, scrub with pressure). Some work is, unfortunately, necessary, but it's still easier than other methods I've tried.
5. If an area is especially tricky, re-coat with baking soda. You may need to reapply vinegar to the sponge occasionally too.
This wasn't easy, but it was so much easier than just with soap and water. Baking soda is slightly abrasive, so I can't guarantee no damage to the non-stickiness of your pan. But I don't know another method that's any better.
