cleaning a stainless panGot a stainless roasting tin with bits burnt on that won't shift with a wire scrubby thing and washing up liquid.
If I rinse very well afterwards, would bath cleaner (Jif-type) work ?

Don't see why not.

Crumble a laundry tablet into the pan. Add boiling water and leave to soak overnight. Burnt bits should rinse away in the morning.

Just soak it.
Using a dishwasher tablet (or part of one) does help the soak.

Oh & the more you use a scratchy pad the more food will stick to the pan.

Would ordinary washing powder work ? I'm not got as modern as laundry tablets

yes it would.
I usually heat it up again with the washing powder on, and it will lift away.
You could even use baking powder, which is what I usually do.

Yep. Or washing soda crystals. It's better not to scrub at it more than you have to, it will leave tiny scratches which will make stuff even more inclined to stick to in in the future.

I bought a really good plastic pan scraper thingie from a home shop - it's smooth, so it doesn't scratch, and is much easier than scrubbing. I'll see who makes them.......

funny - i was debating asking this question just yesterday.
i bought some eco-lemon stuff in france which works quite well. but always have problems with burn, brown, spotted, discoloured stainless steel. maybe i have the heat too high? not to mention have probably used too many scouring pads....

Aren`t roasting tins supposed to be full of burnt/browned bits and bobs ?? Why does it need to be spotless ?
