I usually give a good long soak with some dissolved dishwasher powder
first. But friends of ours recently had success with a soak with a
bicarb solution.

Its currently getting a soak in bleach, after a small test showed it working well. I'll add some washing powder too. It was cooked in the microwave :/

I'll admit I'm tempted by the angle grinder option...

Nah, that's a bit drastic - but you could try a pressure washer (used
outside, of course!)

Surprised you had a problem in a microwave unless the timer was set too
long.
My brew is 2 egg cups of oats, 5 of milk and uWave for 5 mins in a bowl
that could take double the quantity. Open the door immediately that it
is done to avoid steaming up the oven.

It got 15 minutes on full - full being 1kW of nukage. Its cleaning up nicely, but gradually.

7 minutes is about right for a cup of oats

Was this breakfast or an experiment in home fusion? ;-)

3 Don't eat porridge. Tastes like a mixture of sawdust & wallpaper

The one time I made a real mistake of that nature (not simply burning a
bit on the bottom), it was soup. Well it started as soup. Left over a
low gas burner for a whole day while I was out.

When I came back, there was only a lump of loose charcoal - look more
like coke. Pan seemed quite clean, considering. Used it regularly for
many years afterwards.

No no. Brown sugar, milk, a dash of cream and a nip of Drambuie. Had this for breakfast last Sunday and it was delicious.

For me it was reheating some macorini cheese under a low grill before
going on a pub crawl Easter 1975. At least it was Easter when it went
under some mates called around early for a planned long distance pub
crawl and i forgot the grill ,the pub crawl got out of hand and we
ended up in Switzerland.
It was about 8 days later I returned home and the macaroni looked just
like those charcoal sticks that were seen in the art class at school.
Got the dish reasonably clean in a caustic bath at work but some black
scale never came off.

Then it would taste of sweet, milky sawdust & wallpaper.

:) Now that you mention it.... I do want to try pyrolysis some time. I guess I did *funny_expresssion*

PS the bleach works perfectly. By the time I went to add washing powder the tray the bowl had welded to was already fully clean.

Ameliorated by no heating , lighting or TV etc use for the period.
In any case compared to the cost of the journey insignificant,Bank
manager was most displeased as a letter from him with some concerns
arrived a day after we left. In them days when cashing a cheque at an
European bank they marked a little box in the back of the cheque
book,I always renewed before one ran out so had 3 of them to use in
sequence. Technically it was fraud or something I suppose but what the
heck,you only pass through late teenage fun years once.
Ironically I took on a Sunday job basically a very posh paper round to
clear the over draught and the bank manager was one of the customers
and ended up owing me money,
when it came to settling up he proffered a cheque,it was hard to keep
a straight face when i replied" only with a bankers card". having
never actaully met me he only twigged who I was when asking for my
name as it was on my account to write it.

IIRC household bleach is around ph10, so probably the equivalent
cleaning power of washing soda. Actually, the latter didn't work all
that well for me as a grill pan cleaner recently, but I had a toddler
running around so couldn't use caustic. Wish I knew where to get the gel
used by the pro oven cleaning firms
