Anyone know a good product to use when cleaning the drip pans that go underneath the burner on the stove???

Answer 1

Soak in the sink with some hot soapy water, then take a Brillo pad to them...

Answer 2

Funny you should ask.
I have a stove that has a flat surface and it is a danger I all ready had one fire in my kitchen. There are no drip pans and a small amount of oil got on the burner and whalla our kitchen was on fire first the stove top.
I would use Brillo pads If you have allot of scrubbing to do and your stove is regular enamel.

Answer 3

I take them outside and coat them with easy off. In a couple of hours, all the gunk comes right off. Then go to the store and get some of those little foil drip pan covers so you can just ditch them when they get funky and buy new ones. Who wants to spend their time cleaning nasty drip pans and inhaling chemicals anyhow? It's worth the little bit of money for the drip pan covers not to have to put yourself through that. Or you can wrap your drip pans in foil.

I used Simple Green and it surprisingly ate through all of the burned-on stuff. I sprayed it on heavy, so it was about a 1/16-inch puddle and let it sit for about 10 minutes. The burned on stuff turned to goo that was easily removed with a terrycloth rag. I then used a damp rag to wipe off the excess, and used windex and a clean cloth to shine it up (it was a black enamel painted surface).

Answer 5

Baarkeepers Friend from William Sonoma, it is a powder you use with a wet cloth or paper towels. Just around three bucks and it cleans stainless steel too in an instance, all the stuff from the grill really gets off.

Answer 6

I use powdered automatic dishwasher soap, like Electrosol, and let it soak in very hot water for 20 minutes. After that, I use a scratcher pad and more dishwasher soap for any remainder. It works very well. I haven't tried the gel dishwasher soap, so I cannot comment on that product.

Also, if the original finish is gone, they are pretty cheap to replace.

Answer 7

I use a product called Super Kleen or Super Clean??? You can get it in the automotive dept. at WalMart or any automotive store like Auto Zone. It is biodegradable like Simple Green, but is very effective. Use carefully on painted surfaces though.

Answer 8

I found throughout many years of cooking that for the time it takes to clean I just replaced them. They are very inexpensive and it makes your stove look new.

Answer 9

I always used to buy new ones when they got really bad. They are just a couple bucks a piece...I figured that it would take less time to go to the store and buy news than it would to scrub them.
If you want to stick with scrubbing them, I found that Soft Scrub and Brillo pad worked great.

The Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are pretty fabulous. I was seriously impressed the first time I used one.
