And you have that big, nasty pan to scrub--especially if you've been frying or roasting meat--try this tip I just learned from my new stepmother. Soak the whole nasty thing overnight in dishwasher detergent (the powder that goes in the dishwasher) and water and it all will wipe right off in the morning. I tried it once on a hamburger frying pan and once on a roasting chicken pan, and it worked like a dream both times.
Funny, I didn't expect a retired career Army officer to be a great source for household tips, but I guess they get meat stuck on the pan even in the Army. :-)

Further note: although this method works well on normal stuck-on gunk, nothing--absolutely nothing--will help you if you forget you have a skillet of oil heating up and go fold a load of laundry. So don't do it, no matter how much your toddler loves folding laundry.
Great tip QOC - thanx for sharing. Last time I resorted to bleach. Not fun. :-P
Just add some baking soda ( or double the amount and take washing soda)add some water, bring to the boil and simmer for half an hour or leave overnight when heated ..... the nasty crust and all the grease will come off. Marcella
