Which type of cleaner removes baked-on food?

Baked-on food forms a tough, crusty layer that needs physical scrubbing to break its grip on a surface. Abrasive cleaners supply gritty particles that scrub the surface as you clean, so the baked-on layer is physically worn away and can be washed away with water. Detergents help loosen and suspend soils but don’t provide enough mechanical action to remove a crusted film on their own. Acid cleaners dissolve mineral deposits and some stains, but they aren’t designed for stubborn baked-on residues and can risk damage to some surfaces. Solvent cleaners dissolve oils and greases, yet carbonized or baked-on food often won’t come free without abrasion. So, the abrasive option best achieves removal of baked-on food.
