Getting Burnt

It's getting to the point where the gas doesn't flow as well through my hole either! I guess I probably have a build up of fluids... I'm hoping a laxative will help me! Good luck!

I think you have to go out and buy some new burners for your stove. Or you might want to try to sock them in hot water with some dawn dish soap.

I have not had gas burners in such a long time and I have no idea what they have no days for those hard clean ups. After you do get it cleaned you might could get some drip pans to go down and makes clean up so much easier. I use those on my elect. stove.

I would call home depot or someplace that knows what you should be doing. I don't have that problem as I hardly cook!LOL....but my last stove was the same way. I never did get it out....just pitched it when I got my new stove.

I used regular oven spray, when we had one. Let it sit, then it wiped off pretty easily. For really old, stuck on stuff, you might need a second or third treatment. But it usually worked pretty well for me.

we had the same kinda problem, but the members of the FELINE persuasion are to blame for this one - LUCKILY we have a great warranty through Sears - the guy preordered parts and just left - think he's gotta come back tho cause it's STILL not completely fixed

wow... that burner of yours is really very badly burnt as i can see... i hope you can find a solution to fix it... my burner is also burnt even though it is not as bad as you... that's why i always try to clean up the spill as soon as i finish cooking... please let me know when you find a solution to clean yours as i want to clean mine as well... good luck... take care and have a nice day...

Wow! Never had this problem before and never heard of anyone else having this problem till now, Grandpa Bob. Hope someone was able to help you on this. I would think the ole stand-by of baking soda and vinegar would work but not positive.

first soak it then take a stiff brush and scrub it Obviously my method of cleaning them won't work for you....

I soak mine in baking soda/vinegar/hot water. Works well for me and doesn't hurt anything. It might take a few soakings but they'll be nice. I always swear that I'll clean them up as I make the spills but you know how that works!

hi grandpa bob just wondering if the stuff one uses to get calcium deposits off things wou ld not work for the holes in gas burners too. I know it doesnt stink like eazy off oven cleaner that my son uses for everything, and it does take off calcium deposits too.you could try it.

I hope you've found a solution to this by now. If not, I'll just let you know what I used to do when I had a gas stove. I would clean the top of the burner with a steel-wool soap pad like SOS or Brillo, then poke the little holes where the flames are supposed to come out of with a toothpick. It doesn't get it really clean, but it unclogs the holes so the flames can burn well. The flames actually help to burn off some of that greasy stuff so, after they're unclogged, a frequent wiping with a soapy cloth should do the trick. It always worked for me and it didn't stink! No toxic fumes for me!Good luck!

Every body has his on way to clean the burner. I think these burners are required to be cleaned periodically so that more dust and oily contents do not get deposit in the holes to choke the system. I personally use to remove the hole cover of the burner and put them in to the boiling water with detergent and clean with the old tooth brush. You can use a new one also for this purpose. After cleaning just give a pressure of air or water pressure and keep it for some time to soak the water. I think it will work. How you see it please comment and have nice day cleaning your burner and happy my lotting.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, I use a special industrail cleaner for cleaning such as this 'Max Strenght Degreaser' but if you have not got anything like that just wshing up liquid and soak in a very hot water for an hour, that should do the trick. Take care Tamara

usually if they get to that point,i just replace them.. but you could probably take them off and scrub them with a wire brush and a small bit of grease cutter.

What works well for me is lava hand soap for greasy hands. The ladies from the show on the BBC channel gave their views that trick. It is good for getting grease off of hands so it works on your stove also. I use it on the bottom of my pans also.

Much like you one of my burners is blocking too,now the only thing that I can think of is to soak the part in the sink maybe overnight and see if it clears it,but its heck of an annoying when you turn the stove ring on and all that you get is just more or less a tiny flicker,maybe its a job for the gas maintainence man,who knows,but there charges are really high for a call out,so will be working on three rings here .
