Brilio.net - The color of the flame on the stove burner is greatly influenced by the gas combustion process that occurs. Blue flames indicate perfect combustion, where gas and oxygen mix in the right proportions, resulting in maximum heat with minimal emissions. Conversely, red flames indicate imperfections in the combustion process.
This red flame is not only less efficient in producing heat but can also produce dangerous carbon monoxide gas. Basically, there are several causes of the stove flame becoming red. Starting from a blockage in the burner, lack of oxygen supply or poor gas quality. Well, this usually comes from the condition of the burner that has started to wear out or is dirty.
Stains or crust in the burner holes will hamper the combustion process, so that the resulting fire is not of good quality. To ensure that the fire on the stove burner remains blue, it is important to carry out routine maintenance and checks. Cleaning the burner regularly from dirt and blockages are some steps that can be taken.
Unfortunately, this cleaning process is sometimes not as easy as imagined. Not without reason, the thick and black crust on the stove burner tends to stick tightly, making it difficult to clean. Well, if you are confused about cleaning it, you can use the method used by Facebook user Fitri Rahmawati.

These two ingredients can be very effective in removing stubborn stains, including blackened crust. However, in order to get maximum results, there are several steps that need to be done. The first step, prepare a large basin first. After that, add enough citric acid and vinegar. Then, pour boiling hot water into the basin. If so, insert the stove burner and make sure it is completely submerged.

So, for maximum results, soak this stove burner for several hours. The longer the stove burner is soaked, the softer the scale will be and the easier it will be to clean. Then after soaking it, then scrub the stove burner using a brush until the crust is completely removed.
