Brilio.net - The stove burner funnel is an important component that often goes unnoticed, even though its role is very vital in maintaining the efficiency and quality of combustion on a gas stove. The shape and design of the burner funnel is designed to distribute gas evenly and ensure the flame produced is stable and consistent. This allows the cooking process to be more efficient and produce perfectly cooked dishes.
However, like other kitchen components, the burner funnel is not free from problems. In some cases, the burner funnel often becomes clogged due to the buildup of dirt and burnt food residue. This blockage can cause gas flow to be disrupted and produce an uneven fire, which can even lead to dangerous gas leaks.
Maintaining the cleanliness and condition of the burner funnel is very important to ensure the stove's performance remains optimal and safe to use. However, if the stove burner funnel is already dirty and even crusty, you must clean it immediately. Because the scale is stubborn, some people usually use citrus to clean the scale on the stove burner funnel.
But apart from citrus, you can also use other, simpler ingredients to clean the scale of the stove burner funnel. This simple ingredient was used by the owner of the Instagram account @lia_melisa91 in one of the uploaded videos.

To use these ingredients, you just need to prepare a small bowl first. After that, add enough baking soda, toothpaste and dish soap. If so, stir all the ingredients until evenly mixed.
Next, apply the cleaning agent to all crusty parts of the stove burner funnel. So that the cleaning agent can be completely absorbed, let it sit for a few minutes after applying it. Only then scrub it using an old toothbrush.

If it has been scrubbed, make sure all the crust and grease stains are completely removed. After that, rinse the stove burner funnel with running water. Then wipe or dry in the sun first until dry, then install the burner funnel on the stove body.

Uneven stove fire conditions can hinder the cooking process. Here are nine tips for dealing with uneven stove fire:
1. Clean the burner holes.
Sometimes, the holes in the burner can become clogged with dirt or food residue. Turn off the stove and use a needle or small brush to clean these holes.
2. Check the gas regulator.
Make sure the gas regulator is working properly and installed correctly. A damaged or improperly installed regulator can cause unstable gas flow.
3. Check the gas hose.
Check whether the gas hose is leaking or kinked. Leaks or bends in the hose can hinder gas flow and cause uneven flames.
4. Adjust the air valve.
Some stoves have an adjustable air valve to regulate the gas and air mixture. If the air valve is too open or too closed, the fire may become uneven.
5. Clean the burner from oil and dirt.
Oil and dirt that accumulates on the burners can interfere with gas flow. Clean the burners regularly with dish soap and warm water, then dry them well before using them again.
6. Make sure the stove is standing level.
A stove that doesn't stand level can cause gas to flow unevenly to the burners. Make sure the stove is placed on a flat and stable surface.
7. Replace damaged burners.
If the burner is too old or damaged, consider replacing it. A damaged burner can cause problems with flame distribution.
8. Use quality fuel.
Make sure you use good quality gas fuel. Fuel that is dirty or mixed with dirt can cause an uneven fire.
9. Call a professional technician.
If after trying the tips on the stove the flame is still uneven, there may be a technical problem that requires professional handling. Call a gas or stove technician to check and repair the problem.
By following these tips, you can ensure the stove burns evenly, which not only increases cooking efficiency but also maintains safety in the kitchen.
