I make gravy most of the time. For some reason that always cleans my pans or pots. Yes, I also make gravy in pots if I have run out of pans for that evening. Still works great.
Just remember to let it cool down before washing, as long as you don't boil out all the water, the food wont re stick.
also if the pan has lots of stuck on food, after about 5 minutes of boiling, take a spatula and loosen the food burned into the pan, do this every 5 minutes or so until all the burned food is gone.
Also, pouring the liquid into a hot pan is called de-glazing. It works in making gravy, sauces and cleaning the pans.
Add some water and a teaspoon or two of cream of tartar. Bring to a boil... works like magic! Burnt food just disappears without scrubbing! I have used this trick for seriously burnt-on (do I have to throw this pan away?

Clean stuck-on food from cookware by soaking it in baking soda and water for 10 minutes. After soaking, wash as normal. Baking soda can also be used as a scouring powder on the cookware.
