Took me three hours to degrease one baking sheet with regular soap

I usually just use Ajax for everything, but my wife burnt some honey onto a sheet pan last week and it was a disaster. I scrubbed and scrubbed for three hours straight and barely made a dent. Finally grabbed a bottle of Dawn that my neighbor left at our place and it cut through the mess in maybe 10 minutes. Has anyone else run into a pan that just refuses to cooperate with your usual brand?

Honestly, three hours on one baking sheet? That's not cleaning, that's a part-time job. I would have given up after 20 minutes and just called it "seasoned" like a cast iron pan. Ngl, your neighbor's Dawn sounds like it saved your marriage, cause I bet that honey was about to become a divorce attorney's retainer fee. Tbh, I'm half convinced some pans are just born evil and no amount of elbow grease will fix them.

Dawn is a brand name not a specific formula type, the blue original Dawn works way better than the other varieties like the green apple scent one. That three hour scrub sounds brutal though.

The green apple one worked fine for me, just saying.
