If you feel that your gas burners are already irreversibly burnt and greasy, grandma’s trick will lead you astray. The old school did not use aggressive chemistry, but relied on heat and a chemical reaction that literally “lifts” the grease off the metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a proven procedure that will restore the shine to your burners without endless scrubbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\uddea Grandma’s “magic” solution
The basis for success is the combination of vinegar and baking soda, but with one important extra step – boiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water
Regular white vinegar (about 1-2 cups)
Baking soda (2-3 tablespoons)
Old pot (that you no longer use for cooking)
\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Step-by-step procedure
Vinegar cooking: Pour water and vinegar in a 2:1 ratio into a pot. Place the dirty burners (only metal parts, not those with electric ignition) in it and bring to a boil. Let it boil for about 10-15 minutes. The acetic acid will start to dissolve old grease and burnt-on residue.
Fizzy bath: Remove the pot from the heat and carefully (be careful, it will foam!) add the baking soda. This violent reaction will mechanically loosen any remaining dirt from the small holes and grooves.
Warm-up: Let the burners cool completely in this bath (even for an hour).
Final polish: Take them out and use an old toothbrush or wire brush to gently clean the areas that are not yet perfect. The dirt will come off like butter.

Method Effort Cost Result
Sandblasting Very high Low Scratches on the surface.
Chemical spray Low High Irritating odor and fumes.
Grandma’s vinegar bath Minimal A few cents Deep cleaning even in the nozzles.
\ud83d\udca1 \u201cGolden\u201d tip for a perfect shine
If your burners are made of brass (they have a golden color), grandma would use ketchup. Yes, you read that right. The acid in the tomatoes and vinegar in the ketchup reacts with the oxidation of the brass. Just paint them, leave them for 20 minutes and rinse – they will shine like new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peer warning: Make sure the burners are completely dry before putting them back on the hob. If there is any water left in the nozzles, the gas may not burn properly or the ignition may be damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
