Fill with warm water and drop a dishwasher tablet into them. Just leave overnight. Should just wipe away the day after.

I always use these to clean pans, oven, oven door glass, hob. Whatever there is that is difficult to clean. I always find they work better than anything else I've ever tried. And they're cheap!
