Any suggestions for cleaning Stove Burner Pans?

I know 2 methods. The first is to use oven cleaner. Just throw them in the oven when you clean it every time or spray them and put them into a plastic garbage bag for half an hour. The second is to soak them in baking soda and dish liquid for about 4 hours The baked on stuff should just scrape off then. My mom always wipes on a thin layer of dish liquid and lets it dry before she puts them back into the stove to prevent junk from sticking. I have a self cleaning oven, so I just stick them in there every second tome or so.

Soak or boil a solution of 2 tbsp baking soda in water; in each pan. Let stand until particles are loosened, then wash as usual. Then use a mild or moderate abrasive.

I like the soaking in detergent water overnight. These are great tips. Especially the one about the bullets, I too, have been wondering about them.

I soak them for a while in hot water, then use baking soda and a dry cloth. Just use the soda as a scrub and it will turn dark picking up all the little pieces of stuff. Unfortunately, I do not have a self cleaning oven. But that tip up there is great!

Baking soda and vinegar seem to work well for me.
