How to remove food from pan?

If the pan is stainless steel or cast iron, you can use oven cleaner. Also usable on glass & ceramic.

Spray with fabuloso lavandera,pour warm water over the pan. Leave it like that for a while,then scrub like usual.

you can put Barkeepers friend (powder) in pan with enough water to make a paste and let set overnight and you should be able to clean it up easily the next day

I add a dryer sheet and enough warm water to completely cover stuck-on food. Let set overnight and it will be easy to clean the next day. I have not tried liquid fabric softener, but it seems like it would work too.
