More help plz - burnt saucepan!

Ok, decided to try and coat my popcorn with some sugar as in cooking em in a saucepan. Oh they popped alright but by then the sugar had burnt to a disgusting rock hard structure coating the entire saucepan base. Had to throw everything out as it was a disgusting smelly mess and am left with a saucepan that needs a grinder to clean it as far as I can see. So, is there a way to remove the burnt sugar coating without resorting to excessive force?

Boil some rhubarb in it Mark, works on stainless steel pans really well !

Well I dunno about that video but I will give it a try. My own saucepan looks like it has a new black ceramic base which has the consistancy of concrete, whereas that vid had a nicely baked sugar coating that was quite attractive and probably not that hard.

Will try the hot water + salt + washing powder method as I don't have any rhubarb.

The guilty oven is an electric one so I might electrocute myself but not blow the house up Janela .
