Leave the pan in the oven and set it to self clean. When you take it out, that stuff will literally blow away leaving a shiny new pan. Nevermind that self clean costs more than a new pan. Your oven needs a cleaning anyway if your pan looks like that.

Life pro tip, never fucking use the self clean function on a stove.
It kills most stoves and breaks them. The entire concept of the function is basically stupid as fuck.
It also causes more house fires then you would believe. Not to mention other problems.
Hell most user manuals for ovens with self cleaning actually tell you to NOT use it as it’s dangerous.

Modern ones document some sort of steam clean process that is not as bad, but I haven’t yet tried it

This. Found it out the hard way. Toasted my oven and screwed up my cabinet finish.

So why is it still a feature?

Oven cleaner chemicals are toxic plus cleaning an oven manually can be physically demanding

Because lazyness.
I’ve worn down a stove and two electric ovens, about to go on my third, over the course of twenty years, and I always aim for the simplest of the simplest possible.
No pyrolisis function, no steam function.
Just plain convection ovens, ventilated. And if non digital models are to be found, even better.
