   I have gotten the brown spots out of the inside of my Revere Ware by
putting in a few tablespoons of baking soda and enough water to nearly fill
the pan and then boiling the hell out of it.  The soda-water solution seems to 
dissolve the film quite nicely.  Also, the same technique may be used to remove
mineral scale from tea kettles, though with cream of tartar replacing the 
soda.  I would be quite leery of using anything as strong as ammonia, unless 
you have SERIOUS build-up.  I have seen the stuff take the paint off of my 
range hood while cleaning with it, so I give it a healthy respect.
