How To Clean Chrome Electric Stove Burner Rings

[icyfroth]

Anyone got any good tips?

I've been scrubbing them with those microfibre cubes, which is ok for the smaller ones, but the big burner which gets more use doesn't really come up as clean and shiny as I'd like.

Just had a look at youtube and they reccommend soaking them overnight in a  sealed ziploc plastic bag with 1/4 cup ammonia.

Has anyone tried that and how did it go?

Sorry icy can’t help you. I have a glass cooktop so I never have to clean.

I used to do that for the burner tops and grates on our gas stove.........but I used oven cleaner.

I've cleaned my oven using the ammonia method and it worked well, so I can't see a reason why this wouldn't.  It made the house smell like a really skanky urinal though 

Having said that, would the ammonia be too corrosive on a shiny surface? Might make the problem worse? Dunno.

OK, throw up your arms in horror but some second-hand dealers used to clean all the burned on gunge on enamel parts of second-hand cookers (it has to be fired enamel, not paint) with............. wait for it....... wait for it............................ Paint Remover!

I've tried it on a grill pan, it worked.
