I picked up a used glass pot lid, the kind with a metal band around the
edge. The glass has cooked-on grease on both sides of the glass and I can't
get this slightly-sticky-in-places residue off. What's a good way to get
the glass on both sides clean and free of that cooked-on grease/fat?

Spray oven cleaner or old fashioned lye. Unless the metal is aluminum,
then use a non-lye oven cleaner, such as one using ethanolamine.

Soak in ammonia.

Hello Stan:

The cooked-on 'varnish' (that is more or less what it is) is awfully
hard to dissolve off. As others mentioned, oven cleaner may work.
I've had some luck cleaning cruddy glass---such as the window of a
toaster oven---- with (a) pumice-containing orange hand cleaner and a
sponge, vigorous rubbing; or (b) steel wool soap pads. Both are fairly
aggressive so I don't use them often, but there seems to be little or
no scratching from occasional use.

Regards -- Terry

Here's what worked for me twice:
Use some gel-type paint remover like Kleen-Strip on it. I burned some
caramel in a saucepan some time ago and nothing was working on it. I covered
the bottom of the pot with the remover and stirred, picked and scraped at it
with a popsicle stick once a day for a week and this removed the charred mess.
My wife recently burned some corn in the pot (same pot, too!) last week and
again, this method worked to perfection.
I got the idea from a product that Sunbeam marketed in their repair shops
called Sunbeam Frying Pan Cleaner. I bought some and discovered it was actually
paint remover - one of the ingredients is methylene chloride. I wouldn't try
this stuff on aluminum though, since it tends to turn it black.
