Protip for cleaning food gunk that doesn't want to go: boiling water. It's impressive how much stuff just sort of... falls away if your water is real hot. I use a dish brush to get the stickier stuff. If it's being stubborn I just dig in with a metal spatula. Haven't noticed any adverse effects yet.
