How to clean a moldy and crusty stove stove.
He said that the stove stove can be cleaned so it shines again using the addition of one kitchen ingredient, namely baking soda. The trick is to sprinkle quite a lot of baking soda on the stove burner which has been placed in the basin. Then, pour hot water until all parts of the stove are completely submerged.
"Remember, baking soda, not baking powder," said the owner of the Instagram account @indra80wahyu, quoted by BrilioFood on Saturday (30/3).
After that, pour in a little detergent or any type of liquid soap. Stir until foam appears. Then let it sit for a few minutes until the water is no longer hot.

How to prevent stove burners from rusting.
Stoves are made of iron, so they have a risk of rusting if they have been used for years. But don't worry, because there are a number of ways to prevent the stove from rusting.
1. Clean regularly.
Clean the stove burner regularly after use. Remove any remaining food or oil that may be stuck to the surface.
2. Dry after getting wet.
Make sure the stove burner is completely dry after cleaning. Moisture can speed up the rusting process, especially if metal has been exposed to water but not dried properly.
3. Use cover.
If possible, use a cover or lid on the stove when not in use. This will protect the surface from exposure to moisture which can cause rust.
4. Use coating protection.
You may also consider using additional protection or lining for the stove burner, especially if the stove is rarely used. This will help protect the surface from moisture and corrosion.
5. Consider protective paint.
If you are worried about rust, you can also consider using a protective anti-rust paint designed specifically for metal surfaces.
6. Stove furnace maintenance.
Carry out regular checks on the stove burner to ensure there are no damaged or chipped parts that could increase the risk of rust.
7. Avoid direct water exposure.
Avoid letting water pool or drip directly onto the surface of the stove burner. Also make sure there is no moisture trapped under cooking equipment or other equipment.
