Brilio.net - The burner is often exposed to direct fire, so this part of the stove easily burns and crusts. It is common knowledge that burnt stains are difficult to clean, as a result many people leave their stove burners in a burnt condition as they are used.
In fact, if left unchecked, a burnt stove burner can disrupt the cooking process, you know. The reason is, burnt crust risks clogging the holes in the stove burner. Well, a blockage in the burner will cause the stove flame to spread less than optimally when cooking.
To clean it quickly, many people choose to clean the stove burner by soaking it in a solution of citric acid. This material is known to contain high levels of acid to help dissolve stains. However, if you don't have a stock of citrus at home, don't worry because there are other tricks.
TikTok account user @ithaahazarmaynita shared a trick for cleaning stove burners full of burnt crust so they shine again by relying on cleaning agents from two kitchen ingredients.
Initially, prepare a bowl to mix the cleaning ingredients. Put enough toothpaste into the bowl. Then, also add enough baking soda and dish soap. Yup, baking soda and dish soap are the main kitchen ingredients for practicing this trick for cleaning stove burners.
Stir until all the cleaning ingredients are evenly mixed. The owner of the TikTok account @ithaahazarmaynita also explained that this ingredient mixture does not need to be added with water at all so that the consistency remains thick and is more effective at removing stains. Immediately apply the cleaning mixture to the stove burner.
TikTok account user @ithaahazarmaynita also uses this cleaning concoction to clean stoves or other parts of the stove that have limescale stains. If so, let it sit for a while.
After letting it sit, scrub the stove burner with an old toothbrush. While scrubbing, you can add the remaining cleaning mixture. If all the burnt crust stains have disappeared, just rinse the stove burner under running water. You can do the same trick on the stove or other parts of the stove.
After rinsing, first drain the stove burner on a cloth or towel until it is completely dry. If it is dry, then put the burner back into the stove as before.
"It's very clear the difference between what has been washed and what hasn't," said the owner of the TikTok account @ithaahazarmaynita, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (29/7).
