burnt residue

What fire leaves

Burnt residue is the material left behind after something has been burned or overheated—the charred remains clinging to a pan, the blackened deposits in an oven, or the carbonized buildup in an engine.

The phrase appears in cooking, cleaning products, and technical contexts: Use this spray to remove burnt residue from cookware.
