So, I'm wondering if anybody has some good ways to clean those Pyrex
baking dishes after they got build up crud on them?

There's always the scrubbing method but I'm wondering if there's
anything you can soak them in (Kaboom, Oxystain?) that would allow you
to reduce the scrubbing and mucsle needed?

Any tips worth sharing? TW, I did a search on Google and all I could
come up with was tips for cleaning pyrex sex toys. Cute but not what I
was looking for.

You can put them in a garbage bag and spray them with oven cleaner. Let
them sit over night. In the morning they will rinse clean and look like
new. I do this with glass, Corningware, and stainless.

That new Dawn stuff has gotten good reviews. I'm sorry I don't
remember the name of it ... it's by Dawn, your problem is just what
they claim to fix.

Lye, either powder or in oven cleaner form. Be careful with that
stuff, though.

I see lye in the cleaning isle and have considered buying it for cleaning
cookware. How do you use it?

See, that's just what I was looking for. That's a great tip. Thanks,
I'll try it this weekend.

Yeah, I got some on my arm once, nasty little burn.

bakeware... in fact there's nothing better.

Soak them in hot water and dishsoap for an hour or two. Scrub and rinse,
soak again. Scrub and rinse. Then run them through a cycle in the
dishwasher. This works for me, although I am anal about soaking them
right away after use.

I am sure the other suggestions about lye and oven cleaner will work,
but this way is a bit safer. Those other cleaners can hurt.

Dawn (dish soap folks) have a new product called "power dissolver" or
somesuch. I couldn't find it with the dishwashing soap but found it at
Target in the cleaning section, same aisle as the scrub sponges, I
think. It's pretty good. It's in a spray bottle with a trigger
mechanism.

Works on the cooking grids on the grill also.

I use Dawn Power Dissolver to clean the inside of my convection/microwave
oven. It does a good job and is easy on the skin. I think it is expensive
and not as good as oven cleaner on the grates and drip pans from my range.

Received mine yesterday from Amazon and what I have read
so far has been interesting for local color. It sounds
as though the author has done a good job soliciting recipes
from various talented Minnesotans including our own
Ms. Schaller. That coffee cake sounds luscious. I guess
next year's jam/jelly production is safe.

Okay, I'm not bashing you. But the OP said they didn't want to have to
scrub and scrub. I wouldn't use lye but the home use oven cleaners are safe
enough if you don't spray them on yourself. I'd be sure to wear rubber
gloves and I would spray the pan *before* I put it into the garbage bag.
Fumes, doncha know.

The oven cleaner will do bad things to your skin, so gloves are a good idea.
You can also use the bag to manipulate the item. Definitely don't spray
before it goes in the bag because you will just have a mess. Unfortunately,
I find that the cleaner in the yellow can (original) is much better than the
fume-fee stuff in the blue can. I also think that scrubbing with abrasives
is ultimately counterproductive. Once a surface has been abraded it will
stain more easily. Scrubbing leads to the need for more scrubbing.
