Expert Q&A for How to Clean Gas Burners

There are dedicated oven cleaners that are honestly so much faster than the other options out there. Easy Off is the most popular one. These products are super toxic, so just make sure you're careful and clean your stove regularly to avoid the need for that kind of heavy-duty cleaner.

Absolutely. Make a paste out of it with water and spread it over the stove. Let it sit for a while and then go in and wipe the paste off.

Not really, but the problem is that everyone forgets to do it. People clean their kitchen, but they kind of just let grease and dirt build up on the oven. Some people only clean their stove like once every 5 years. You need to clean it regularly to avoid the need for deep cleaning.

The easiest way to get all of the residue off is to soak it in a professional-grade acid. However, if you don't want to use chemicals, use a powdered cleaner like Bar Keeper's Friend, then scrub the grates with a zero-grade metal scrubber and a lot of elbow grease. If there's any grease that won't come off, use a rounded butter knife to scrape it away.
