How to prevent rust on stove burner funnels.
After years of use, the stove burner funnel may become covered with rust. This is also known as corrosion. To prevent this, here are several ways you can do it.
1. Dry after use.
After cooking, be sure to dry the burner funnel with a dry towel or clean rag. Corrosion is more likely to occur on wet or damp surfaces.
2. Avoid exposure to water.
If possible, avoid exposing the burner funnel to direct water. Try not to get spilled liquid or water from cleaning tools when cleaning the stove.
3. Use cover.
If you rarely use the stove, consider covering the burner funnel with a special cover that is available. This cover can protect the surface of the funnel from direct exposure to air humidity.
4. Use anti-rust lubricant.
You can also apply anti-rust lubricant to the surface of the burner funnel periodically to help prevent corrosion. Make sure to clean and dry the mouthpiece first before applying lubricant.
5. Regular cleaning and maintenance.
Perform routine cleaning and maintenance on the burner funnel. Clean regularly with mild soap and warm water, then dry well. Do not allow food debris or oil to accumulate on the surface of the funnel as this can accelerate corrosion.
6. Check regular conditions.
Periodically, check the condition of the burner hopper to ensure there are no signs of corrosion or other damage. If you find signs of corrosion, consider replacing the damaged burner funnel.
