Cleaning stove grates??

Does anyone have any tips on cleaning stove grates?  I've tried steel wool, Barkeeper's Friend, vinegar and nothing seems to be doing the job.  I can get the "newer" grease off but can't seem to penetrate the older, really caked on stuff.  I've looked into replacing them but really don't want to spend $200 on them.  Any tips are greatly appreciated!!

Re: Cleaning stove grates??

  • Put down some newspaper outside or in your garage. Lay the grates on the paper, and spray them with oven cleaner. Leave them sit for an hour or so, then either hose them off or bring them into the laundry tubs and wash them.Im assuming you mean the grates for your burners, and not the wire shelves in your oven.

     

    You can also run them through the dishwasher. 

  • The Oven Off product does work, but the fumes are nasty and sometimes you have to wait a long time for the chemicals to work through the baked on grime.  It cleans well but requires lots of time.  I also used the oven's own self-clean setting, but it makes the whole kitchen stink.  But I discovered a new favorite oven cleaning product:  Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.  It got my oven looking brand new and I was impressed!
  • I'm usually a lurker but I had this same problem and I put mine in the oven and run the self clean cycle, then usually all I have to do is rinse them off, it was amazing!  I'm actually due to do this again soon
