Coke Pepsi, pour in and let sit for a few hours. Denture cleaning tablets, add water and let sit or worst case senario; Easy Off Oven cleaner and follow directions. I use spray on oven cleaner to remove acrylic paint from several pairs of jeans and it worked like a charm. I use oven cleaner to clean my glass baking pans but do this outside and wear a mask. It contains lye so it is not good to breath. Good luck.

sounds weird but try coca cola- it's god at cleaning porcelian. Another option is look at car cleaning products- you may score there

Try soaking it with vinegar. Cider vinegar, let it set 3-4 days then try washing again.

Hi, the best way to get cooked on food on any pot is to use a dryer sheet. I save mine after they come out of the dryer so I always have them handy. Put hot want and throw the dryer sheet and leave it be for a little while then go scrub or just wipe it will come off. Maria G

Do any of you have a suggesting for removing the baked on bbq sauce?

I would try Easy Off Oven cleaner.

Put it in a garbage bag and poor in a bottle of ammonia. Close the bag and let it sit at least overnite. We used to do this with racks and those things under the burners on the stove and it worked pretty good. Good luck.

Well, even though I never had that happen with BBQ sauce. I've had other stuff stick to mine. Is it ceramic ? I would let it soak with dish detergent and very hot water and then scrape it off with a dinner knife or a straight edge razor. Can't make it any more un-usable...
