First try: E Z Off-Fume Free. Leave it about an hour and wash.
Second try: Amonia up to covering the spots-in a plastic bag; close bag and
leave for 24 hours.(do this outside). Clean as usual.
Scrubbing with Brillo or some such will scratch the hell out of the pan.
If that doesn't work-consider how much a new pan costs. It't probably worth
it.

Depending on what the pot is made of, try Dawn Power Dissolver or whatever
it's called. Read the label to make sure it won't harm the pot.

I bought a commercial product - I think it was "Goo Gone" - from the
Ace hardware store - it's a product not unlike paint remover - I used
it very successfully on the enamel outside of a non-stick electric
frypan. I wore disposable gloves, though ;-) If I find the name is
different, I'll post again, but I think that was it. It should be safe
for most any non-painted outside of a pot - but test it in a small
area. Or read the warnings.

Angle grinder with wire wheel (4.5") at 10,000 rpm.
It will take a minute or two, but the baked-on stuff will fly right off
(do this outside).
For the remaining grease, some dish soap should make it squeaky clean.
Might have a few scratches in the surface if it's not stainless or cast
iron.

Stop being such a cheap s.o.b, throw the f*****g thing out and get a new
one. Doesn't get any simpler than that.
