I know that a half lemon, dipped in salt and then used as a "scrubber", removes build-up on copper. How about trying that?

put water in the pot that has burnt on stuff or is really greasy, etc, add a tiny squirt of dish soap (to change the ph of the water and make the process work better). Put it back on the stove and put it on medium to medium high temperature so that it gets to a nice good simmer and then lower the temp so that it just simmers but doesn't over boil. Let it simmer while you do the rest of the dishes, etc. After about 10 minutes or so, take a wooden spoon and check to see if the junk is softened up and ready to be removed. If the wooden spoon cleans off the bottom of the pan, you are done. Drain the hot water out and wash as you normally would.
If not, then put it back on the stove to simmer longer.
I have used this method since I was a young teenager and it really really works. (just don't let someone thing you are making soup and try to eat it.. he he.)

Most of what is called "natural" is not natural at all. Everything is processed. When was the last time you ran across a natural pool of vinegar or a mound of baking soda? The term I like to use is non-toxic. Items that are not laden with chemicals that will harm us are non-toxic. There are many products on the market today that are safe to use and don't fill our homes with harmful chemicals. Your local health food store can help you. I choose to use products from Melaleuca. They are all non-toxic and work extremely well. (Most are tea tree oil based.)

Use SOS pads for stubborn sticks. Soaking always helps. But for cleaning the outside part (that is probably chrome)
Try this cleaning cloth. You have to buy in packages of 5 but they are only like $3 bucks a piece. I have ordered them and use them on everything, especially cleaning Chrome, windows and clean mirrors. They are made out of tiny fibers. They are guaranteed not to scratch and all you do is rinse the cloth under water, wring it out and wipe ANY surface with no streaks or scratch. Use em over and over. I have not thrown one away yet!
I even waxed my car with it! I am sold on this ...I encourage you to try it out.

My mother used to put badly burnt pots out in the garden for a couple of weeks. Normal weathering made them clean and shiny like new.

make a paste of baking soda and mild dish soap. then you have to scrub. If you let the pans soak in water for awhile, it should make it easier.

Let them soak in hot water then use steel wool (without cleaner) to scrub.

You could use sand. That's what people did in the old days.
It's a lot easier to just use dishsoap and an S.O.S. pad, though.
