I saw the great info on how to clean the burner, but I have one burner that I use most and sometimes things boil over, every other burner I am able to clean around the base but the one that I use most looks nasty. Please help.

I buy a small wire brush they sale in the automotive department. I also use non aerosol oven cleaner. It is more of a very heavy degreaser. Spray it and use the tool to get all the gunk off. I do two or three if these stoves a day. I can't have one speck of crude on anything. Hope this helps!

I also have one burner that I use all the time on my stove. I clean the stovetop with some steel wool (SOS pads work great because there's soap inside), and if there's still stuff I'm having a hard time with, my husband's secret weapon is one of those magic foam sponges. Be careful though, it gets everything off (even the paint by the knobs!)!

I will soak it with Dawn degreaser then scrape it with a razor blade. No scratch marks and saves lots of time.

I have a gas stove that has black porcelain in the burner section. I am afraid to use anything that might scratch it. Any ideas?

Use supplies for automobile cleaning and waxing. They are made to use on painted surfaces. After you get it clean a coat of wax will help to keep it clean and make it easier to clean.

I am against any abrasives because they ruin the porcelain finish and make future cleaning more difficult. I use oven cleaner- let sit about an hour- wipes clean.

Then use a razor to chip it off and dawn. Lynda Laws gave great advice. Using regular oven cleaner can arc any metal of your range. I would be more worried about using it than using a razor to chip it off. I averaged two ranges a day. Some gas, some electric they hadn't been cleaned for at least a year, if we didn't use the right tools to get them clean we couldn't get then clean. I haven't hurt one top yet by using a copper brush/ or nylon to get in the little grooves, we use razors to take off any built up hard black spots. We use a oven/degreaser commercial cleaner, it is non aerosol and you need gloves but this stuff breaks down the dirtiest ranges or grease build ups. And believe me we find them everyday.
