Brilio.net - Black stains that accumulate on gas stove burners basically come from spilled food that dries and burns over time. If left for a long time, the burnt spots on the gas stove burner can thicken due to scale. The bad impact is that a thick crust can prevent the fire from appearing from the stove burner.
If the stove burner is blocked, of course the resulting fire will be uneven. In addition, the stove flame, which should ideally be blue, can turn red. In fact, red stove flames tend to make cooking utensils burn easily and turn black.
So to overcome this problem, cleaning the gas stove burner is the right solution. If you are confused, you can use the trick shared by Instagram user @priya_dwarke to clean gas stove burners. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he relied on three kitchen ingredients when he wanted to clean the gas stove burner.
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @priya_dwarke on Monday (22/7), the kitchen ingredients in question are baking soda, lemon juice and dishwashing soap. Apart from that, he also added other ingredients in the form of citrus. Well, this mixture of ingredients can be effective in removing stubborn burnt stains .

How to use it is quite easy. First of all, remove the burner from the stove body. After that, transfer it to a basin or large container. Then add baking soda, lemon juice and water. Make sure the stove burner is completely submerged, OK?
Next, add enough citrus. Then stir until all the ingredients are mixed evenly. If so, let it sit and soak the gas stove burner for several hours. The longer you soak it, the easier it will be to clean the crust and burnt spots.

If it has been soaked, take out the soaked stove burners one by one. Then pour in enough dishwashing soap. Only then scrub it using a brush or wire wool. Do this process until all the stains are completely removed.

The final step, rinse the gas stove burner using running water. If you feel there are still stubborn stains, you can soak the burner again for a few minutes. Then scrub again using a brush that has been treated with dish soap. After that, rinse until clean.
Basically, baking soda and lemon juice are an effective combination for removing burnt spots on stove burners. Baking soda is alkaline, which helps neutralize acid residue from food stains. The properties of baking soda also help soften and dissolve stuck-on stains.

On the other hand, Lemon contains citric acid which is effective in breaking down fats and oils. When baking soda (base) and lemon juice (acid) are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs that produces a stronger cleaning effect. This effect will also be maximized when mixed with citrus and dish soap. Therefore, the stove burner can be shiny and bright.
If you have rinsed the stove burner clean, don't forget to dry it first. Only then put it back on the stove. So, a burner that is clean like this will produce a high quality, blue stove flame.
