Cleaning carbon off non stick pans

Def not a good idea for non-stick coated aluminium, any pits in the non-stick and the caustic will open up a cavity under the coating, ruining the pan.

Bleach. Works for me every time.

I use 91% rubbing alcohol to clean guns before i switch to oil. Tried it on nonstick cookware this afternoon and it got most of the carbon off in 15 minutes of soaking and a little friction with a rubber bottle brush then a blue Scotch-Brite pad.
