How to unclog kitchen burners
Let us keep in mind that we must always handle the gas, the stove and the accessories with great care to avoid accidents.
We start doing it:
1) We remove the lighters from the kitchen very carefully.
2) With a firm and thin wire, we will use this wire to do the cleaning. But to make it more effective, we put insulating tape on one end, as a safety measure.
3) Insert the wire into the gas outlet hole, we will handle it with caution as if it were a swab.
4) The wire is removed.
5) We set up the kitchen by placing the corresponding burners, and we test by turning on the burners to make sure everything is correctly in place.
As you can see, this is a simple but effective procedure. The recommendation is to do it every time it is necessary or rather within a convenient time. The key is not to let too much time pass, otherwise a lot of grease and tartar will accumulate.
Recommendations and tricks:
- It is essential to make sure you turn off the stove properly , especially when inserting the fine wire. In fact, if we do not feel safe, it is better to call a professional, it all depends on how complicated our kitchen is and how dangerous the manipulation of gas could be.
- A very effective trick is to mix hot water with vinegar in a container and submerge the lighters for approximately 1 hour. This time will be enough for all the stuck fat to come off, it will help greatly. As a next step, we can dry the lighters with a little baking soda on a cloth and dry them.
- Another suggestion, in a container you can mix lemon juice with water and soak the lighters for 10 minutes, then use a dishwashing sponge and rub the lighters until the grease comes off. The same procedure can be repeated until they are completely clean and as many times as necessary.
