The best way to clean stove burners is to gently pull them out of the stove top, and wash with warm, soapy water. Use a gentle detergent such as that used to wash dishes. Do not submerse them or allow the electrical connection to get wet. If there is food or burnt particles stuck to them, use baking soda as a cleanser. Use it as you would a cleansing scrub, or if you have stubborn stains you can make a paste with baking soda and water and let it sit for 30 minutes, then scrub. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly with clear water. Depending on the condition of the burners you may not get them just like new (if they are scratched, worn, etc.), but you should be able to get them thoroughly clean. To prevent buildup and burned on food, wipe burners thoroughly during your regular kitchen cleaning ritual.

On most of the newer stoves they completely disconnect from the stove. If it does then your best bet is to take it to a kitchen store like Bed Bath and Beyond and just buy a replacement.

You can disconnect the burner and try scraping as much as possible, then you can try SOS or steel wool for the rest. Be sure the plug in is very dry before you re insert it.

the burner will unplug from the outlet in the hole, unplug it and i would try chipping away at the melted plastic with a metal spatula, then scrub away. make sure the plug is dry before you reposition it..
