My first technique is the easiest one "" take the burnt pan and fill it up with water. Pour some white vinegar in it and put it back in the oven. When the water starts boiling it will loosen up all baked-on food stains and you'll be able to remove them with the abrasive side of a sponge. Wash as usual in the end, using dish-washing soap and warm water.
Take a sponge and saturate it with white vinegar. Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda all over the burnt baking pan and rub with the sponge. The stains will come out very easily. Mind that this technique is not appropriate for cleaning pans with Teflon surfaces.
I learned the last method from an article written by a professional cleaner London "" you have to prepare a paste of a tablespoon of salt, one cup baking soda and vinegar.
