So the rim around the electric burners ..... rusty or crust from cooking.... what do you mama's use to clean that off so it comes off easy ? AND the burner trays....what product for that. I need step by step....not good with this stuff.
You can use a cleanser like Bar Keeper's Friend, or I also use foaming Easy Off, which is an oven cleaner and also works well on stove tops. You spray it on and let it soak for half an hour, then wipe/scrub it off. My mom would put tin foil down below the burners to catch any food that boiled over or spilled, and it's really easy to throw that away and replace it with clean foil instead of having to scrub down there.
Are you talking about the chrome ring and the drip pans? If so old fashioned SOS pads work wonders or any steel wool pads. Wear rubber gloves and use hot soapy water, soak the rings and drip pans for a few minutes, then scrub with the steel wool or SOS pads. It may take more than one wash to get it all off.
Sometimes you can purchase new rings and pans at a local hardware or appliance store. Take the old ones with you so you get a correct fit. (I learned that one the hard way) ;-))
sos pads, and if it is steel I used to use a cleanser like bar keepers friend or comet, but don't use it unless you know it won't scratch it.
Bar Keepers Friend is the best for this kind of thing! It also works great for stainless steel pots and pans. You can get it at Bed Bath and Beyond.
