A neat tip

After dinner (or whatever meal), if there is cooked-on food stuck on your pans, simply fill with water, add a bounce sheet and let it sit overnight.

In the morning simply wash in hot, soapy water and it will be gone. Apparently the anti static agent in the sheet weakens the bond between the cooked on food and the pan.Voila! Another pan saved.

Sorry, did you really want new ones?

OR

Fill the pan with boiling water. add a heavy sprinkle of baking soda over and let sit for awhile. Come back after your television show is over and it slips off.

Either one of these tips works well and will save the frustration of trying to scrub it off.
