Brilio.net - A crusty stove is often a problem in the kitchen, especially when burnt food spills stick to the stove rack. The crust that sticks can be very difficult to clean, especially if left for a long time. Burnt food, oil, and spilled liquids can form a hard layer that interferes with the appearance of the stove and even reduces its performance.
The stovetop , especially on the hob, is an area that is often neglected in maintenance. Spilled food that is exposed to heat from the fire can cause stubborn and hardened stains. If not cleaned immediately, this crust will be increasingly difficult to remove. In addition, the accumulated crust can become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria, which will have an impact on the overall cleanliness of the kitchen.
To keep the stove clean and free from scale, it is important to clean it thoroughly. Not only the cleaning material, the tools used also need to be considered. The reason is, many people use a brush or rough wire that can scratch the surface of the stove. In fact, this can certainly damage the appearance of the stove as a whole.
Well, to be safer, you can use the method practiced by the TikTok account owner @baymi___. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to only using three kitchen ingredients to clean the thick crust on the stove. This ingredient can be applied easily and can make the crust lift perfectly even if not scrubbed with wire wool.

As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @baymi___ on Wednesday (4/12), the kitchen ingredients in question are vinegar, dishwashing soap, and baking soda. But for maximum results, it's best not to mix all of these ingredients at once. Just mix the vinegar and dishwashing soap first. Then put it in a spray bottle and add a little water.

Next, spray the solution directly onto the burnt and thick crusted stove. After that, let it sit for 10-15 minutes so that the liquid can be absorbed perfectly into the crust. Then, scrub the crust using an old toothbrush. So no need to use wire wool, okay?

Well, thin crusts will usually be lifted immediately when given vinegar and soap. But in the video, TikTok user @baymi___ admitted that the burnt crust on her stove was very thick. Therefore, she continued to sprinkle baking soda on the crusty surface.

After being given baking soda, scrub the part again using a toothbrush. Then wipe the stove using a wet cloth. Well, you can do this cleaning repeatedly if you feel there are still stubborn thick burnt stains. The last step, wipe the stove using a dry cloth until there is no remaining crust and cleaner stuck.
Well, the cleaned stove looks shinier. Because the tools used are also soft, there are no scratches on the surface. That way, the appearance of the stove is also shinier and drier than before.
