Brilio.net - Regular use of the stove for cooking causes various types of stains such as oil, gravy, and spices to easily stick to its surface. This condition requires regular cleaning of the stove, especially after cooking activities. Regular maintenance can help maintain the cleanliness and optimal performance of the stove.
Stove cleaning is often only focused on the main body without paying attention to other components. The stove burner as one of the vital components is often neglected in the cleaning process. The burner part is very susceptible to stain buildup because of its location close to the fire source.
Stains that stick to the stove burner can undergo a scouring process when exposed to fire. The accumulation of scorch marks left for a long time will harden and form a crust. Continuous use of the stove with a crusty condition can trigger rust on the burner.
Rusty and crusty stove burners can affect the overall performance of the stove. This condition can reduce the intensity of the heat produced by the burner. In addition to performance issues, dirty stoves also cause discomfort in using the stove.
Special cleaning methods are needed to deal with stove burners that have accumulated scale and rust. Conventional use of dish soap and brushes is not effective in removing hardened stains. An alternative cleaning solution has been shared via the IDE TUBE YouTube channel using easily available kitchen ingredients.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube IDE TUBE on Monday (16/12), the kitchen ingredients used include salt, baking soda , and vinegar. In addition, he also uses dish soap which can effectively remove stubborn stains, such as grease and crusty cooking stains.
The application method is also quite easy. First, wet the stove burner that you want to clean. Then pour dish soap onto the stove burner. Spread the soap evenly using a brush while occasionally rubbing it quite hard. Do this on both sides of the burner (top and bottom).

After that, rinse the stove using running water until the soap is gone. Then sprinkle the surface of the stove with salt. For maximum results, it is better to use coarse salt which has higher abrasive properties (compared to fine salt).
Once salted, scrub it again using the brush. After scrubbing, rinse the stove again until clean. Then dry it.

If the stove burner is dry, sprinkle the surface with baking soda. After that, steal it with vinegar. Then scrub it again using a brush. Do this process until the crust and rust are completely lifted.

In addition to using a brush, the YouTube user also scrubbed the stove burner with wire wool and a rough brush. This will make the thick crust immediately lift and fall off. Once done, rinse the stove burner with running water and dry it with a cloth.

But it doesn't end there. Although the crust and rust have fallen off, the YouTube user repainted the cleaned stove burner to make it even shinier. He used black spray paint to make it easier to apply evenly.
Next, let it sit until the paint is dry. Then reinstall the burner on the stove body. That way, the stove's performance will be more optimal and the appearance of the stove will also be more beautiful.
