The first question is that I have already tried scrubbing with normal stuff
like Ajax and a scotch-brite pad and that stuff baked onto her asparagus
cooker from frying potato wedges is not going anywhere soon.

Is there a magic chemical for getting rid of that black sticky stuff?

The second question is simply why are all the corning glass pots brown?
Can't they make them clear like Pyrex measuring cups are?

Yes. It is called "lye". Easy Off oven cleaner is lye.

Scrubbing is about useless. I'd try oven cleaner first,then perhaps an
acid.

The brown pot is Visionware. Corning stopped making it years ago
because it is crap to cook with. I don't know if it is colored for
visual effect or the compound to take the heat. My wife had a
visionware pot and it went into the trash with the burnt on the bottom
potatoes that stuck while boiling with water.

Treat your wife to a good quality pot. There are many, like AllClad
Farberware etc. Multi-layer material that give really good heat
distribution.

WTF? Even deep frying shouldn't put that much grease on the outside
of a pot. I'm surprised you didn't have a fire.

When my husband blew off the seasoning on my cast iron frying pan
by using it on a turkey fryer burner, I got him his own pan.
Perhaps you should get your own deep-frying pan.

Fashion. Plus, as you see, grease and scratches show up less.

Corning stopped selling them in the US very roughly 20 years ago,
but brought them back very roughly five.

So yes, they are available again.

The question is, Why? Worst cookware available.

When I serviced commercial kitchen equipment I used oven cleaner when restoring deep fat fryers. I'd take the dirty things out side, spray on the oven cleaner and after awhile, hosed them off. A really stubborn case might take two applications of oven cleaner but it will remove the burnt on grease/oil.ヽ(ヅ)ノ

I have used Sokoff to remove heavy deposits on a commercial waffle iron. It works well and is safe on both aluminum and stainless steel.
