Has anyone a good method of cleaning accumulated carbon off non-stick
frying pans to restore the non-stickability or at least reduce the stickability?

soaking a pan in neat caustic soda with JUST enough water to dissolve
it, for several says is a good start.

Def not a good idea for non-stick coated aluminium, any pits in the
non-stick and the caustic will open up a cavity under the coating,
ruining the pan.
