To easily remove burnt food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Bring it to a boil on the stove top. Once it is cool enough for your hands. Wash out the inside.

I recently burned apple butter to the bottom of an aluminum pan. It was charcoal it was so burned. The above suggestion wasn't nearly enough to get the pan clean. I added 3 parts vinegar to 1 part lemon juice and let it sit overnight. The burned food came off mostly with some scrubbing after the soaking. Simply using soap didn't work in this situation.
I am not sure if bringing it to a boil on the stove would expedite the cleaning process.
I'm definately going to try this one!
