Default Removing burnt on carbon from non-stick fryin g pan

I'm looking for recommendations from people who have successfully tried
the solution (if any). :-)

Over a period of time a non-stick frying pan has gradually accumulated
more and more carbon.

Internet search turns up the main fix as white vinegar boiled in the pan,
then baking soda added.

Salt has also been mentioned.

I wondered about using oven cleaner as a far more aggressive approach.

Anyway, any tried and tested remedies?
[Buying a new pan is out of scope. Likewise not burning anything on in the
first place.]


What is the pan made of? Is the non-stick layer intact? Caustic soda is
great for removing carbon but will also dissolve aluminium (releasing
hydrogen). Not a great idea to let them react for long. ;-)
