[Sca-cooks] Cleaning metal

[euriol]

One of the things I've done in the past to clean heavily burnt on food on
my camp stove and some other pans is to place them in a black plastic
garbage bag, spray liberally with oven cleaner, close up bag and come back
the next day.

Also on my gas stove top, I used the Magic Eraser with great success to get
it looking like new again.
