I have a baking pan that is completely black from being burnt over and over again, I want to get the burnt off of it and make it like new again (and no i can't buy a new one because this one fits in my tiny stove, my new one doesnt so I have to keep this burnt one)

I gather there is no time limit and that it isn't one of the rare broiler pans made to be cleaned in a self cleaning oven. So, first I'd soak it in water with plenty of baking soda overnight. Then I'd attack it with an SOS pad and razor blade scraper. If progress was not significant, I'd spread newspapers on a counter, spray the pan with oven cleaner let it sit for an hour or more, and attack it -- assuming it's not Teflon. I'd also look on-line to see if a replacement is available just in case my efforts fell short -- and to cover an eventual "future burn."

Take an SOS pad with a little bit of water and scrub the heck out of that pan. Make it pay for what it did. Haha, for real though, just scrub it real well, being careful not to press too hard, or else you'll leave scratches in the metal.
Also, once it's clean, or when you buy a new one, use tinfoil over it when you use it. This way you'll only have to change the tinfoil instead of having your pan get all black.

Try scrubbing the inside of it with coarse salt and a little hot water. You can also try a product called Barkeeper's Friend. It works well on metal and shouldn't leave big scratches. You may have to use either of these more than once as you have repeatedly burned the pan. I have used both of these methods on my burnt pans with great success.

A dollop of powdered laundry detergent tossed into the pan with enough water to reach the height of the stain/dirt. Place on the top of the stove CAREFULLY and bring to the boil. (For a really bad state you may have to repeat a couple of times & DON'T let the water boil away!)
Let it cool on the stove - so no curious kids around!
Throw out the dirty water and if there is anything left, dust the pan with Bicarb/Baking Soda and scrub gently with a scrub sponge and water.
This while hard work has saved a few pots and oven-pans in my life!
Best of luck!

Just saw this problem on PBS a couple of days ago. This guy wrote several books called Haley's hints about cleaning various things.
For your problem, you need tartar sauce (yes the stuff used in cooking) and vinegar. Combine tartar power with vinegar. Wipe with sponge on burnt pan. In his demo, it came clean in 60 seonds.
Good luck. Let me know if it works.

There is a product called the Grease Bullet which claims to renew your burnt pans without effort. Just soak and rinse. You can find their product(s) online. It should work if what they claim is true.
