Put some Naptha in an eyedropper and squirt that into the pot while

Naphtha! That stuff is an excellent cleaner & degreaser.
Still available as 'Camp Fuel':

Stock up, the stuff is regulated now.

Or, from paint and hardware stores - "VM&P naptha". Even here in
Northern California it's easily available. Might be harder to get in
areas where volatile solvents are more tightly controlled (e.g. Los
Angeles).
