Liquid softener will work too, my mother use to use that. Also the new Dawn pot soaker liquid works fast! I love that stuff. Baking soda does work on some pans but doesn't work as great as these products.

Don't use oven cleaner of any kind if you have a pet bird. My Husband puts water in the pan with cooked on food, heats it on stovetop, turns it off and lets it soak. Off it comes, just plain H2O.

I have always used them for cleaning the Sole plate of my Iron, comes up immaculate every time, don't know what is in them and don't want to as they WORK!

I tried oven cleaner on some of my aluminum pans and it turned them all black. Dryer sheets works for me and I also use them to remove gunk from my iron.

I use a tablespoon of cream of tarter in a burnt pan. Fill with water and boil a few minutes then soak. Comes clean--slick as a whistle.

Used dryer sheets are good to rub gum & ink off the inside of the dryer & washer. Ask me how I know. lol
