Dirty and Burnt Gas Stoves? Try These Effortless Chef-Approved Cleaning Methods
There’s nothing like the satisfaction of cooking a delicious meal — until you glance at your gas stove and see a greasy, burnt-on mess staring back at you. Burnt spills, grimy grates, and stubborn stains can turn even the most beautiful kitchen into a cleaning nightmare.
Ready to tackle that dirty gas stove? Here are chef-approved methods to clean it effortlessly.
🔥 Step 1: Safety First — Turn Off the Gas
Before you begin any deep cleaning, make sure all burners are off and the stove is cool. For extra safety, you can turn off the gas supply or unplug the unit if it has electronic ignition.
🍽️ Step 2: Remove Grates and Burner Caps
Take off the removable parts — the grates, burner caps, and knobs (if possible). These are usually the dirtiest areas and easiest to clean separately.
🧼 Step 3: Soak in Hot Soapy Water
Chefs often start with a soak to loosen burnt-on food and grease. Fill your sink with hot water and dish soap, then let the grates and caps soak for at least 20–30 minutes.
Pro tip: Add a splash of white vinegar or baking soda for extra grease-fighting power.
🔧 Step 4: Use a Baking Soda Paste for Burnt-On Messes
For tougher stains on the stovetop or burners:
- Mix baking soda with a little water to form a thick paste.
- Apply it directly onto burnt or greasy spots.
- Let it sit for 15–20 minutes.
- Scrub gently with a non-scratch sponge or old toothbrush.
This method is especially loved by chefs for its non-toxic yet powerful cleaning ability.
🧽 Step 5: Degrease With Vinegar Spray
Once you’ve removed the heavy grime, spray the stove surface with a 1:1 mix of white vinegar and water. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a microfiber cloth. This leaves the surface shiny and helps remove any lingering odors or residue.
