Gas stoves have some advantages over electric cooktops when it comes to cooking meals. But gas stoves lose their effectiveness when the ports on the burners become clogged and interfere with the gas flow. A clogged gas burner will give off a weak flame—or in some cases, no flame at all if the burner is badly soiled. What's worse than a dirty, greasy gas burner that looks and smells awful? The more you cook, the worse it gets and suddenly your stovetop becomes a visual map of all of your family’s favourite dishes.

How To Clean Electric Stove Burners

Here's what you'll need to get your burners clean:

Dishwashing detergent

Baking soda

Non-abrasive scrub pad

Microfiber towel

Cleaning cloths

If your coils and drip pans have caked-on grime, turn the burners on for a few minutes to burn off residue. After they cool, wash the drip pans with warm soapy water and cover them completely with a mixture of 2 parts baking soda and 1 part water. Let the drip pans sit for 15 minutes.

While the drip pans are soaking, wipe down the stove coils with a damp cloth to remove stains and residue. Scrub the drip pans and rinse the baking soda mixture. Use fresh soapy water to wash off the residue, then rinse and dry. Buff them to a nice shiny finish with a microfiber towel. Now, on to your stovetop.

Tips to Keep the Burners on a Gas Stove Top Clean Longer

Use a removable gas range protector cooktop liner that fits over the burners to catch spills and boil-overs from causing a mess on the base of your burners.

Keep all cooktop components, from grates to burners, dry to prevent rust formation.

Never use a knife or other sharp object to clean up hardened spills on the components of your gas cooktop.

Keeping the grates clean goes a long way in keeping burners
