You can clean a gas stove with old grease stains by using cornstarch and a few dry paper towels. Even a super dirty gas stove will be spotless.
Although induction cookers are dominant, gas cookers are still commonly used cooking utensils. Its disadvantage is that dirt, especially grease, often accumulates on the surface and details of the cooker, which will harden over time, making it difficult to clean, both unsightly and unhygienic, and potentially dangerous to health.
In addition to using specialized cleaning products for this device, there are many ways to clean a gas stove with natural ingredients, including the tip of using cornstarch.
Just a little cornstarch can remove old stains on the gas stove, making it clean and shiny again. The steps to clean the gas stove with cornstarch are as follows:
- Prepare a cup of cornstarch and some dry paper towels; sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch over the areas that need cleaning.
- Take a dry paper towel, dip it in cornstarch and wipe away the stains on the gas stove. Cornstarch has strong absorption ability so it can easily absorb all the grease and remove them from the gas stove.
- After wiping, you will see the oil stains have soaked into the paper towel. If you need to clean more, you can use a new towel. As a result, the gas stove surface will be clean and regain its original shine.
This is a simple and effective method that not only saves money on cleaning products but also easily removes grease stains, keeping the gas stove clean and beautiful, avoiding the effects of chemicals.
In addition, cornstarch can also be used to clean other kitchen utensils such as pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. You can easily remove grease stains by sprinkling cornstarch on the surface of the item to be cleaned and wiping with a paper towel or rag.
During use, gas stoves are very easy to get dirty, not only from grease but also from food scraps, residue from boiling soup pots... To keep the gas stove clean, housewives should wipe it immediately after each cooking session. At this time, grease stains, crumbs and food residue have just stuck to the stove surface, so you can easily wipe them off very quickly. If left for a long time, the stains will stick into many thick layers and dry hard, causing time and effort to clean completely.
You can keep your stove grate clean with gas stove grate pads placed on top, which are widely sold on online markets.
- Before cleaning the gas stove, make sure you have turned off the stove and locked the stove valve.
- Only clean the stove and the stove grate when they have completely cooled down, clean each part. Washing the gas stove grate when it is still hot not only makes them prone to cracking but is also unsafe, and can easily cause you to get burned.
- If the gas stove surface is stuck with dirt, do not use a knife or sharp object to pry it off because it will scratch the stove surface and make it unsightly.
