This isn't exactly going to help but I bought Amazon (own brand) silicone mats to go on the baking tray. They are superb. I've since bought some for MIL who also loves them. They clean no problem and nothing sticks to them. Even cookies are great. (Not a salesman, honest!)

Oven pride? It's the stuff you put in a bag and leave overnight

Oven Pride will remove the anodising, will also take off non stick coating.

I soak mine in biological washing powder dissolved in boiling water.

I put the tray on the hob, fill halfway up with water, add some bio washing powder, bring to the boil and then scrub once cooled.

Have you tried the damp dishwasher tablet to scrub? It's a MN trick for glass oven doors and I've used it on my hob, should work on a baking tray.

I was really fed up about my baked on dirty trays because they are new.
This has saved the day.

Just for future reference I would always buy vitreous enamel trays. The ones from Procook are good, but I have others from years ago and they still look like new. You can scrub them with those wire kitchen scrubbers and you will never damage them. If I want them to be non stick I use silicone baking sheets and this sort of stuff www.lakeland.co.uk/5571/Magic-Non-stick-Liner-33-x-100cm-Sheet?gclid=CIS_o7fI2MkCFcvpwgodPfQBNw&src=gfeed&s_kwcid=AL!49!3!69393931229!!!g!42887660784!&ef_id=VhY0UQAABepjGVIh:20151213095322:s

Biological washing powder is great stuff. I soak my oven shelves in the cheapest biological powder I can find and hot water. Then scrub them with those wire scrubbers I mentioned. You need barely any elbow grease and they come up sparkling.

Bicarbonate of soda. Make a paste, scrub it over and leave it overnight. Should soften the concrete.

You've already sorted it.... Great!
