I bought a commercial product - I think it was "Goo Gone" - from the
Ace hardware store - it's a product not unlike paint remover - I used
it very successfully on the enamel outside of a non-stick electric
frypan. I wore disposable gloves, though ;-) If I find the name is
different, I'll post again, but I think that was it. It should be safe
for most any non-painted outside of a pot - but test it in a small
area. Or read the warnings.
