W seem to cover this subject at least once a week. If you have a self cleaning cycle on your oven put the pan in the oven and run it through the self cleaning cycle. It will come out almost like new. You may find some rust colored residue but just wash it off and reseason the pan.

A wire brush on a power drill will do the trick. Or you can put the pan in the oven and run through a self-cleaning cycle. It should get most of the gunk off, but you'll have to re-season.
