Brilio.net - The burner is often exposed to direct fire, so this part of the stove easily burns and crusts. It is common knowledge that burnt stains are difficult to clean, as a result many people leave their stove burners in a burnt condition as they are used.
In fact, if left unchecked, a burnt stove burner can disrupt the cooking process, you know. The reason is, burnt crust risks clogging the holes in the stove burner. Well, a blockage in the burner will cause the stove flame to spread less than optimally when cooking.
To clean it quickly, many people choose to clean the stove burner by soaking it in a solution of citric acid. This material is known to contain high levels of acid to help dissolve stains. However, if you don't have a stock of citrus at home, don't worry because there are other tricks.
