With use, the stove burner can become dirty and crusty. One of the main reasons why stove burners can get dirty is the accumulation of food residue and grease. While cooking, oil drips, food crumbs, and other residue can stick to the cooker surface. If not cleaned properly, this residue can harden and be difficult to remove.
A dirty stove stove can also be an ideal place for the growth of bacteria and fungus. Leftover food remains can be a source of food contamination which is not good for health. Stove cleanliness is the key to preventing infections and diseases caused by bacteria that breed in unclean areas.
That's why it's important to clean the stove burner regularly. Apart from being more hygienic, using a stove with a clean burner also makes it easier for you to ensure that the heat is distributed properly and cooking is more efficient. There are many ways to clean the stove burner that you can try at home.
For example, a stove burner can be cleaned with hot water. Hot water is believed to be effective in removing stubborn stains , especially fat that sticks to the stove burner. However, the owner of the TikTok account @kota_dumaipesisir has a different method.

After that, flush the stove burner that has been treated with baking soda with bathroom cleaning fluid. Later, the baking soda and bathroom cleaning fluid will react to produce foam. Next, let it sit for a few moments so that the two ingredients can work to remove the stain. "After that, we just leave it for 5 minutes," emphasized the owner of the TikTok account @kota_dumaipesisir, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (22/7).
