I'm pretty sure it's chemical. Yesterday the boss neglected to turn off the hob under a pan containing some drained, fine green beans. For probably a couple of hours. The beans looked like the frizzled tendrils of some long-dead alien, and the black reside on the base of the pan resisted all normal means of removal.
This morning she remembered a tip she probably saw and ignored on FB, and told me to put a dishwasher pellet in the pan with some water. I boiled the water in the kettle to speed up whatever reaction was to ensue.
Having dropped her off in Aylesbury to set off on a trip to the bulb fields of the Low Countries, I came home to find the pan bright and shiny.
