Spray on oven cleaner removes it in seconds.


which is also a strongly-basic cleaner (mostly lye).

However, that won't get it out of nooks and crannies you can't reach with
the spray. It's great for open surfaces, though, and won't hurt
steel/iron. Eats hell out of Al, but then, so does TSP.

Oh, and another thing that melts away grime amazingly well is to spray it
with ether starting fluid.
