Cleaning gunk on a plated skillet

[DavidLCarrington]

I have a plated skillet and lid that have no rust like the guys post below this and would like to know the best way to clean it, I have an e tank but am worried about that, I have never had or cleaned a plated skillet, it is a Wagner 1401 C with lid and is very nice condition , thanks in advance for the help

Nice find. A lye tank or oven cleaner in a garbage bag is the only other effective way. You can find both methods here
