It’s no surprise that your stovetop can get dirty very quickly. If you’re like most of us, you cook every day. And that means splatters of oil, grease, or food debris are sure to be all over your stovetop. It goes without saying that you should clean your stove every day, giving it a good wipe down. But every once in a while, it’s time to give it a deep clean and get into all the nooks and crannies that might be hiding germs and dirt. Of course, you would want to do it the right way to ensure that you not only clean it properly, but also that you don’t damage your stove. In fact, a greasy pan can even pose a fire hazard, so it’s imperative to clean it properly!
Why you should clean your stove’s gas burners
A dirty stovetop can lead to uneven heating and weaker flames, and it can even be a fire hazard. A dirty environment can easily harbor germs, but there’s also a more practical reason why you should clean your stove’s gas burners regularly. Old grease on the top of the burner can burn during cooking and give off a bad odor. Not only that, but burned grease is also harder to clean. So the less you clean, the harder it will become to clean eventually.
Tips
Don’t use your fancy kitchen vinegar to clean your stove’s gas burners. Regular white vinegar (distilled) will do the trick.
