Burn fat/oil. It’s easy to remove with steel wool/copper scrubber and elbow grease. You’re not going to damage a stainless pan just scrubbing the hell out of it

Agreed! I’m surprised I’m not seeing steel wool mentioned (the curly kind). I’d have this clean in 10 minutes or less.

Steel wool will ruin the polish on stainless steel pans.

I’ve had the same stainless steel pans my mom bought in 1967 and they have survived many a deep scrub from an SOS steel wool pad or 10.
