You know that brown burnt on residue that plagues cookware? The bottoms of pans, the surfaces of oven ware? It's been my experience it's from burnt on veggie oils, not animal fats. Anyway, anyone have a way to remove this [censored] from aluminum surfaces without scrubbing? I use oven cleaner for stainless and enamel, which knocks it right off. But, alum seems to surrendure this [censored] with nothing short of a belt sander or some other approach that requires sacrifice of precious fat cells and two layers of your pan.

Dawn Power Dissolver? But if the film has polymerized past sticky, I doubt that anything other than a razor blade will touch it.
Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

I happened to hear a TV cookware purveyor respond to that query. She said you need to get to it right away, but to rub it with a damp cloth with a dollop of liquid dishwasher detergent. I've never tried it, just put it in the mental file drawer. Janet

My first thought when I read the header was a late night cable film listing.
However, I have had limited success soaking the afflicted pan overnight in water with a lot of detergent. But like the Curly One said, after it hardens enough, you gotta scrape.

You might try Zippo fluid or similar solvent. AV&P (think it stands for artist varnish and paint or sumink) make a good naphtha that should do it. Failing that, cellulose thinners perhaps.

Don't know about aluminium, but oven glassware tends to get covered in baked on gick. My father used to use paint stripper [Nitromors for UK-ers] on all our heavy duty glassware a couple of times a year to get them gleaming again. I must get some, it'll probably be the solution for cleaning my glass oven door.

Sue, I have a steam cleaner and it gets my oven door cleaned up very well. In fact I did mine only yesterday. The steam just disolves the grease and burned on bits

I did borrow one and had a go with it, sadly it's one of those doors with two glass panels and you can't get in between them, so maybe the Nitromors might be the option after all....

Oh yes, I will second the steam cleaner. It is really a useful appliance to have for kitchen clean-ups!
Are you sure ? I thought I couldn't on our Creda but then looked more closely and found that there were screws I hadn't seen before

I daren't!
In a previous rented flat I tried to dismantle the oven door to clean it, and one of the glass sheets shattered like a windscreen - glass flew everywhere - missing my face by millimetres.
Not only that but I couldn't afford to replace the oven door and had a [censored] landlord, so had to do without an oven for 6 months.... :-(

good heavens. I would learn to live with a dirty oven in that case

Maybe I should mention the one with the exploding door was some cheap thing from MFI... a Hygena QA. And the one I have now, similar design door, is a Valor.
