Looking for advice on vintage enameled cast iron restoration

Just picked up this amazing antique Griswold no 8 skillet in enameled green with the matching self basting lid. It has an enameled exterior and raw cast iron interior. The skillet is heavily carbonized and nothing I’ve tried by hand (soap and water, bar keepers friend, wooden scrapers, etc) has made anything more than a tiny dent. There does not seem to be a lot of info on restoring these vintage enameled pieces other than the yellow cap easy-off method MAY etch older enamel but I’ve seen nothing definitive. Anyone have experience with this?
