Brilio.net - The stove burner is an important part. The fire will come out of small holes on the surface of this stove component. Not just one, but there are many holes on the surface. This is what allows food to be heated evenly.

Stove burners are usually made of brass. Apart from being durable, this material is also a good heat conductor. However, due to frequent exposure to fire, the surface of the stove burner can turn black. If left like that, these black stains will crust over, making it difficult to clean. In fact, there is a risk of clogging the holes on the surface of the stove burner.

So that this doesn't happen, a number of people deliberately rub the stove burner using a citrus solution. After rubbing it for a while, all parts of the stove burner returned to shine like new. Unfortunately, not all are suitable for exposure to citrus solutions. The reason is, citrus solution can cause itching and even irritation if it comes into contact with the skin.

To get around this, you can clean the black crust on the stove burner using other cleaning agents. As did Instagram user @decor2adore23. In his video upload, this netizen appears to have replaced citrus with three kitchen ingredients. Curious about how?

How to deal with a stove burner that won't fire.

Here are some general steps to solve problems with a stove burner that won't fire:

1. Check gas supply.

Make sure that the gas supply to your stove is open and sufficient. If using a gas cylinder, make sure the cylinder is not empty. You can also check whether the gas regulator is working properly.

2. Clean the burner.

Dust, dirt, or food residue can clog the holes in the burner and interfere with gas flow. Turn off the gas supply and clean the burner using a soft brush or old toothbrush to clean the holes.

3. Check the gas hose.

Make sure the gas hose is not damaged or kinked. If there is damage, immediately replace it with a new one to prevent gas leaks.

4. Check the lighter.

Make sure the lighter is working properly. You can try it by lighting a match near the burning burner. If the lighter does not light, the battery may need to be replaced or repaired.

5. Check the gas valve.

Make sure the gas valve is in the open position. Normally, the valve opens when you turn the valve handle clockwise.

Make sure to always be careful when dealing with problems with a gas stove and be sure to turn off the gas supply before checking or repairing the problem.
