How to Clean Your Stove Burner Grates

By far the easiest way to clean your stove burners and grates.

This is genius. A neighbor gave me this tip. Above are my cleaned grates and trust me those oldies are so clean now.

Here they were before. I used to have to try and scrub with a steel wool sponge and never get it all clean.

Here is what you need:
Ammonia
Large plastic zip lock bag
cookie sheet
measuring cup
rubber gloves
sunshine on a warm day

Okay head outside. Ammonia is strong stuff so hold your breath while you are working with it. Put the graters two at a time in the bag on top of the cookies sheet. Pour half a cup of ammonia into the bag and seal completely. Put the cookie sheet in the sun. I did it on a sort of cloudy day so had to leave out two days. That is why I did two at time so I could still use my stove. Hot sun is best. If you want to do all four do them all in a large black trash bag which will increase the heat and help to clean those stove burner grates faster and all at one time.

When you open the bag and dump the ammonia don't breath but I just dumped right into the sink and rinsed quickly. Let me tell you it was amazing. All the black baked on gunk was all gone. I just washed off a few spots and it all came right off. This is the best tip I have seen in a long time as now my stove looks so pretty and clean including the graters.
