Help - need to really clean the metal potstandy things on my gas cooker

[PruniStuffing]

Have no idea what they're called.

You know the things - there are two or four of them, they're black metal, they go over the gas rings and grease sticks to them and gets burnt and I have never managed to clean them properly. Is there a miracle solution?

I stick them in the dishwasher once a week, works a treat.

I whack ours in the dishwasher every now and then. Doesn't work that well, but I figure it's clean dirt

Does that help at all?

LOL LGJ!

Every now and then, you domestic slattern

spray some oven cleaning stuff on them and leave for 1h??. remember to wear rubber gloves

Oh, heck, here we go again.
Will you all quit with the cleaning stuff please?

DH does it the rest of the time

So that's "husband-training domestic slattern" to you, OK?

Pruni, think about azure waters and vibrant reefs me dear.

No! They are beyond dishwashing.
Though LGJ that's a fine idea.
I am embarrassed to say that I read a book about cleaning this week and several pennies dropped. In a kind of 'Oh, is that how you...D'oh!' way.

Suitably crushed............

I won't tell you that he had a go at me last night for being a nitpicky nightmare to live with atm then - would ruin the image

Pruni... What was the book?

My mum swears by soaking them and oven grids in Arial !!

I soak mine in biological washing powder too!

Hunker it was called Speed Cleaning by Jeff someone.
Very practical and sort of encouraging.
I got it from the library but am tempted to buy it

LIZS I will try that. Cheers!

And chjlly! Thanks.

Azure waer, azure water, azure water..

Azure water with Ariel Bio....mmmm sudsy

You are sad Pruni, Sad I tell you.

Oh god don't I know it.
I can cope. I'm lots of other things as well.
Incl jealous of your mini-fling with a bronzed swedish diving god!

Ooh is this the one Pruni? Speed Cleaning by Jeff Campbell - great book. I was very taken by the ideas, and tried it for a while, but the trouble is that it still involves actually having to do some cleaning. So I have a cleaner every 2 weeks instead . He's also got a good book on Clutter control .

Soak them in washing powder, and water. This works for oven racks, cooker rings and burnt oven tins as well. Fill a basin/bath with water, add a handfull of washingpowder and leave as long as poss.

Try spraying them with that Fairy stuff (green bottle) for burnt-on food. Works incredibly well on burnt saucepans etc - the crap just floats off.

JackieNo, yes that's the one. TBH I only skim-read the first two or three chapters, enough to know what a slattern I have been and how easy it could be in an ideal world not to be a slattern. La la la I tell myself I also work and have a social life on top of a child and a family and I like to try to read the odd book now and again...Cleaning just isn't my thing but for a moment as I turned the pages of that bible, I felt like it could be...

Janh what is in that stuff??! Sounds vaguely dangerous!

Why not soak them in Coke...if it can clean pennies
