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.
