I boiled about a litre of water, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar, a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke and half cup of lemon juice then stirred well .
Waited 3 minutes, put the pan in the solution for 40 minutes, then added a table spoon of bleach.
Then I brushed it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another half hour.
I took it out, rinsed it and it looked exactly the same, so I threw it away and went out and bought a new one...

Diluted Molasses should have done the trick. I can't remember the correct Ratio of Molasses to water, but if you know any old Sailors, ask one of them. I learned that trick, when living on Cape York, over 30 years ago. Works really well on Cast Iron Stoves, and rusty Tools etc.
Cheers,
Sheba.

You did not fool me. Possum
I could see that they were different pans
The old one has the handle on its side, while the new one has its handle on the bottom
LOL

Sounds a bit like those sure fire mould removal recipes. I've tried them all.

Yep! Elbow grease, patience or a nearby camping store are the best options. The "Martha Stewarts" in the world have a heap of ideas. I sometimes soak mine in a warm bath of sodium percarbonate (also doubles as laundry powder!). Leave it for an hour and it makes it easier to clean - but!!.... still requires a bit of work.
Sodium percarbonate is kinder to the environment as it breaks down without the nasties.
