Cleaning lacquer off tin inside copper frying pan

I have a mauviel copper fry pan that I assume is tin lines. I bought it at a reseller and it has a lacquer on the tin. How do I remove it?

Try 70% acetone ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] Warning! highly Flammable! /30% ammonia ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] mixture (bad smelling and combustible!).Any solvent based paint stripper can be used too. Hope it helps and good luck!
