One thing i've done before with really heavily burnt-on ick is to put it on the electric burner... then leave it there... until the seasoning & scaling begins to BURN OFF. Literally. It'll turn red, then white, then turn into flaky white ash that can be brushed off. You may have to watch it & move it around on the burner to make sure everything that needs to go gets burnt off.
Can't say anything about whether it'll set off the smoke alarms, you may want to have all the fans going & all the girls away if you try this. (might want to save this trick for a last-ditch effort...)
Learned the trick from the Very Disreputable Executive Chef I know, and i've used it to get off stuff that scouring & solvents couldn't even touch.
