Brilio.net - Most stoves in the kitchen are usually designed with a burner on top. This stove is a stand that is used to support cooking utensils, such as pots, pans, Teflon, and others. Usually the stove burner is located above the stove burner and is shaped like a saucer.
So, because of this function, this stove is a component that gets dirty easily because it is exposed to various kinds of stains from cooking. This is then made worse when the stain is exposed to stove fire, which then makes it dry and crusty. The longer you leave it, the stove burner can turn black because it is full of stubborn dirt.
To overcome this, the stove stove must be cleaned regularly. However, if it has a thick crust , you need certain tricks to clean it. Generally people wash the stove by soaking it in hot water so that the crust becomes soft and easy to clean.
