Is there anyway to get the golden brown color off other than a lot of hard scrubbing? I know a dishwasher is really good at this but since we moved here a few years ago we haven't put one in, and now the kids are gone and it's just the wife and I we don't see the need for one... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few tips:1) make a paste of vinegar and baking soda, apply and wait 5 minutes, then scrub off. If it is working, repeat. 2)Also heat up the pan, take it outside and spray on oven cleaner, leave it on a while and then scrub. wear rubber gloves. 3) purchase tri-sodium phosphate (TSP), follow directions. 4)get denture cleaning tablets, fill pan with water and put in a tablet. 5) spray with 409 cleanser, let it sit for 10 minutes and clean with non-scratch scraper. 6) try a magic eraser by Mr. Clean. 7) try a glass stove top cleanser. The brand name on the one we have is Magic.
One other tip I found was to bake a cake in it, give the cake in the pan to a friend who has spotless pans. They know the tricks and will return the pan in spotless condition.

use a round brush in a drill, find a new round toilet brush that has a round shaft, then cut the larger handle off and put the shaft in the drill. now you can scrub all you want (likely using Ajax) with almost no effort
years after I firs saw this idea I now see an infomercial that sells a pre built product that does this
edit, I also will use slightly soapy almost boiling water, that works pretty well also, especially when paired with a brass wire brush

My 25 year old dishwasher is not that great at baked on crud or dried egg stuff. I usually fill the sink with hot water and let the glass pans soak overnight. No problem scraping off the softened brown stuff without too much effort. It's the baked on stuff on metal pans that gets me. I suspect it actually changes the chemical composition of the metal surface.

But seriously, there are lots of good tips in this thread.
Soaking in hot soapy water works great if it's a new stain, but if you've re-baked in a stained glass pan repeatedly, it can form a patina that's hard to get off. The glass stove top cleaner works really well. I am not talking about the spray cleaner, but the paste. (Use a plastic scrubber with the glass stove top cleaner. Steel wool will scratch the glass.)

In my experience (heh, heh) it is best to clean the baking dish thoroughly right from the get go. I just don't let my cake pans get built up. Now about my oven - well, that is another story. It's borderline gross, but who sees it but me...

just use the dishwashing detergent in your pan and hand wash it. it really works that way, too.

Ahh, baked on stuff in a glass or metal pan can be gotten clean more easily by giving it a soak in hot soapy water with about 1/4 cup household bleach in the water. Do not soak aluminum ans too long since they are softer metal. Great also for getting the greasy oooked on stains on the bottom of those pans with the teeeny tiny ring pattern on the bottoms and non stick insides - just let the bottom part soak for an hour or so.
