Let’s be honest: When we cook, we mainly clean the hob, but often completely forget about the components!
Wrongfully so, because in addition to the plates, cleaning the hotplates is also absolutely necessary. These are materials on which rust can form very easily. And removing it is often very painful!
Now let’s look at how to clean them properly!
With vinegar and water
White vinegar, used not only in the kitchen but everywhere in the house, can be used to clean burners and hotplates!
Heat 300ml water and 700ml white vinegar on the stove. When the mixture boils, turn off the stove and then extinguish the plates and burners. Let them soak.
When the water has cooled, remove them from the mixture and wipe with a sponge if necessary to remove any remaining stains. Dry after this step.
With baking powder
Another ally in cleaning is undoubtedly baking soda! It is widely used for cleaning various parts of the house and is also used for burners and stovetops.
Heat a pot of water and bring to the boil. Then add 4 tablespoons of baking soda and let it melt.
Immerse the items in it and leave it for a few hours. This will make the stain softer and easier to remove afterwards!
With citric acid
Prepare a solution of 150 grams of citric acid and 1 liter of boiling water. Pour onto burners or griddles. Let soak for about an hour.
When the stains disappear, dry them gently with a cotton cloth.
With fine cleaning salt
The final solution is fine salt. Its abrasive action can remove stubborn stains and keep your burners and hobs looking like new!
In this case too, the procedure is always the same: Soak the ingredients in a pot with boiling water and three tablespoons of salt for at least an hour.
For stubborn dirt
In some cases, the above methods may be enough to remove all the dirt. However, if the stain is more resistant, even the most stubborn dirt must be removed. After soaking the panels, use a non-abrasive sponge and scrub vigorously until everything is removed. Then rinse and dry each part well, as remaining water can cause rust.
