I'm in the minority here and maybe I'm doing something wrong but the one time I used a razor blade scraper to begin with, it made very fine scratches in the porcelain.  Not really visible unless in direct sunlight and looked for but they were there and I haven't used the razor unless it's the last resort. 

I mainly use oven cleaner and let that do it's work for hours and sometimes overnight.  I then reapply and then scrape w/ a plastic scraper.  Then warm water, Dawn and a nylon scrub brush/sponge.  If after doing that twice and it's still not clean, then I carefully use the razor.   Basically, I won't reach for the razor first.  Only as a last resort or for trouble spots.

Interesting. I followup the razor with 000 steel wool and those microscratches or whatever go away. I've done this so many times I didn't think they were actually scratches.


Ah, ok.  I'll try that.

Bump I put in two hours cleaning a old grill today.  I said #f it and started using the metal end of a grill brush to get the cooked rusted gunk underneath the lid.

My back hurts.
