use cream of tarter in a sink of hot water and vinegar let set over night then clean the electric stove pans,salt and lemon juice work well too

To easily remove burned on grease, pan drippings etc. from stove burner grids, soak them in a strong solution of hot water and laundry ammonia. I use a Dutch oven covered with a lid to protect against the fumes. You can leave it outside if you want. Soak them until the spills just wipe off. If your grids are very bad, you can soak them overnight. It doesn't hurt them.

To clean burnt food from under the stove, try a mixture of baking soda, salt, and water. It works wonders as a cleaner, and if you make a separate batch, it can be used as toothpaste, as well!

as for the baskets under burners on an electric stove... you can buy new ones very cheap. If your oven is a self cleaning...add the baskets in for the whole cleaning cycle. Or you can get black stove pipe paint and spray paint them like new.

For anyone with a stove top mess use your oven cleaner. Spray it on, follow directions for oven cleaning and wipe off! It usually will clean up the worst messes.

It's not a tip it's a question actually! I have a flat top electric stove, and there is some dried up grease on the back of it. I don't know how to get it off without scratching it. I don't want to ruin it. Can anyone help me on it?

If you have cat smells (I had 10 cats!!! I know this is an issue) such as a male spraying on smething such as shoes, purses or if you want to remove smoke odors from something (this only works on things that can be placed in a plastic toter.) put about 1 inch of kitty litter (non-clumping) in the bottom of a large plastic storage box, take a grate of some sort, fridge stove whatever you can set something out of the litter with, and let it set in there about a week. It will pull out and absorb horrible scents. If you can set the box outside in the sun - that's even better! This works great on books and musty items too - even horribly stinky shoes!!! To keep shoes fresh, take an old nylon knee-high stocking and fill it partially with litter and stuff it into the shoes overnight, each night!

clean the stove top with home brand soapy steel pads. comes up a treat

Not necessarily a tip, but I have a lot of trouble keeping my stove clean. It's a gas stove and it is on by pilot light all the time. When I go to clean it, its a pain in the booty to get clean. There are no drip pans. Granted I live in a rented townhouse. They supply nothing. It's an old stove. So, everything is burnt on. I work really hard to get it clean. I wipe it down when I am done. It just doesnt stay clean. I also have a dog that sheds a lot. So, there is always dog hair on it. I wipe it and try and keep her out of the kitchen but not always successful. Any help or tips? Thanks.

Not a tip-question- does anyone know how to get burned on food, grease,etc of the stainless steel baskets under electric stove burners? I can't stand the look of foil on them.

To effectively clean a glass top stove (I hate the white one that came in my new house!!) what you do is take a straight edge razor blade scraper and scrape extra residue off. Weiman's glass top cleaner (available at Wal-Mart) and a paper towel work wonders. If you still have those dreadful black boil over marks a magic eraser can work wonders too.

not a tip a question: I have a glass stove top which has burn marks on it from water boiling over need some tips on how to get it clean the stove top is only 6 months old tried meny cleaners can anyone help

To use your iron skillets, if they are really rusty and bad you can put them in a wood fire and burn them and then wash them and spray them with cooking spray and wipe them out with a paper towel. If they aren't really bad, you can heat them good on the top of the stove and then spray them with cooking spray and wipe them out.

To keep my drip pans on the stove clean I wrap them in almuinum foil. I replace them monthly. Use the heavy duty stuff for durability. You can also place a sheet in the bottom the oven to catch spills. If yours is a gas stove, just cut holes in the foil and place under racks.

does anyone know an easy way to remove baked on carbon off stove top rings?? been scrubbing and scrubbing..will take me years..

when using oven. take a soapy dish cloth and lay it on the top of your grimy stove top, it takes the grease off and other build up you have
