Cleaning built-in grease
-
Patti kelley on Dec 02, 2014You could use some of the commercial cleaners that on the market. I just recently tried cleaning mine they came out ok, but really they are not that expensive to replace You can find them at almost any discount store. So I ended up replacing a couple of mine. I have used aluminum foil to cover them in the past. but again the discount stores have little aluminum-like covers you can also use after you clean themHelpful Reply

AvonelleRed on Dec 02, 2014Put each one into a thick Ziploc bag, then put a few tablespoons of ammonia inside each bag. Zip closed. Let them sit in there for a few hours or overnight. They should be easy to clean afterwards. I leave mine overnight. I use Ziplocs instead of putting the drip trays and rings in the sink so I can just scrub out most of the gunk directly into the Ziploc, then zip it up and throw it out, and it won't leave all of that in my sink. It's easiest if you use one gallon size bag for each set of rings and drip pan.Helpful Reply

RCooper @ thoughtsbyher.com on Dec 02, 2014Is it possible to place one in boiling water to see if the grease and grime lifts? I know that boiling water for some things in the past has been miracle worker with no chemicals used.Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Dec 02, 2014@Tanushka when I had that type of stove I used to wait too long to clean them. I would use oven cleaner on them - just set them on some thick newspaper piles and spray them and then wash them. Usually worked pretty good.Helpful Reply

Peggy B on Dec 02, 2014I think the ammonia is the best. We do that for our grill racks also- works very well, Once done get the drip pan covers.Helpful Reply

Phyllis Price on Dec 04, 2014I found that soaking them in dishwasher pods (4-5) in really hot water for several hours really helps to loosen all of the crud. I used to use foil after I cleaned the bowls but then the foil really adhered to the metal and was really hard to get off. So like the last comment I replaced them.Helpful Reply
