A few more suggestions

1. Badger Spit
2. Pickle Juice
3. Sledgehammer
4. Pornography

Sorry, the suggestions were just getting more and more random. Seriously, there's probably a thousand good cleaners out there that will work fine with a rough sponge and some hard work. If you're lazy like me, there are plenty (oxyclean, bleach, etc...) that should work fine if you just let it soak for an hour or so.

Good luck!

Bad thing about it. If anyone read all of the posts, it is already clean.
 
Give SWMBO a big slap on the butt and tell her she has something to do while cooking dinner. She will forget all about the stove.

Um, I didn't say a word about being old. :drunk:

So, impatient, your stove is clean. But don't stop us from having fun, ok?

Have you tried oxyclean in a paste, and using a scrubbie on it?
 
Start off with an air chisel, Then follow up with an angle driver.
Finally, finish with a sandblaster and 320 grit wet paper.
Stand back and complement yourself on a job well done.

Read? I don't come to a forum to read. I come to ask questions that have already been answered 1000+ times instead of hitting the search button. I come here to jump on the bandwagon by saying things like "oh yeah, that would totally work!" in a thread about something I know nothing about. I come here to harass, to troll, to inflame, and to post whore.

Pfft, read. :p

Great photo! Ha! How many times have we seen that. Do like the Portuguese grandmothers and myself and get a gas stove in the basement!

:off: The little Italian woman who owned this place before me kept a 2nd stove in the basement. When I moved in I had to gut the kitchen and the laundry room in the basement because everything was coated with years of olive oil and splashed tomato sauce. The kitchen hood was truly something to behold...
 
Nobody mentioned the obvious solution. Push the stove out the back door and then tell SWMBO it was stolen.

Equal parts Cream of Tartar and Vinegar. Make a paste and rub it on the stains. Let it sit for a while and then wipe off. Some scrubbing probably necessary, but Cream of Tartar was a lifesaver for me on more than one occasion.

I have to agree with this suggestion. Try it. If it doesn't work try baking soda and vinegar. When the two react together while you're scrubbing you can make a dent in anything that can still be cleaned.
 
Ok, this is one is a little more in-depth, but it should work...

First, you're gonna need some diesel fuel, some fertilizer and a road flare...:rockin:

Oh, and you're gonna need a good alibi too...
 
Swap the numbers on your door with next door's, then criticise your neighbour's cleaning practices for having a filthy stove.

Shecky calling Yooper old?!?!?! Fight, fight, fight!
Hey, somebody get shecky's walker out of the way so he can move...

Don't go starting stuff, you. I didn't call her old. She called herself old.

My walker rocks. Got big ol' casters on that sucker so it can keep up with me when I run.:D
 
For the future (and this is my grandmother's idea), wrap the top of your stove with tin foil. The flames won't affect it, and cleaning up in the future's as easy as replacing the foil.

A boiling wort spill just glues the aluminum foil to the top of the stove.

You can guess how I know this.
 
Mostly hot water and time with an occasional scrape with a wooden or plastic utensil (sos not to scratch the paint). You "may" actually scratch the top, but some enamel polish will fix it right up again.

Or, you can sandblast and then paint the color you REALLY want! Orange! (with a tiny 01 and confederate flag)

Oh, come on now Shecky, we all know the only reason you run is to make it to the bathroom. Incontinence is a great motivator:D

Incontinence is never having to say, "I'm sorry I've soiled myself and there's nothing you can do about it".
 
Ahoy hoy,
Well, now that you have been enlightened on a variety of ways to clean that mess, how about I help you use that stove again for brewing, without the same consequences? And this is from experience. I too had a stove, looked exactly like yours did the first time i cooked a 50qt pot on it with mucho wort. And it sucked cleaning it, but it came clean. But who wants to clean that plated on crap every time? My solution? A canning burner element. Yes kids, they make aftermarket burner elements, for use in canning, that sit the element higher, with good support to handle the weight of many gallons. This works 2fold; a much stabler pot full of wort; and, a stove top that looks like it did BEFORE you started. And it does a pretty fair job getting 8 gallons boiling, which is the most I have tried. Im only doing 5 gallon batches for the most part, so 8 was exception, not the norm. But it has worked just great for me up here this winter. At first, I still covered the element pan beneath it was aluminum foil, but found that it was unnecessary after all.
Heres the link and a picture. Hope it helps. A good day to all.

I use the stove top cleaner for flap top stoves. Works like a charm. i have the same type of stove so i dont see why it wouldnt work for you as well. Just has to sit for a little while.

Jesus H., Do any of you guys have a functioning set of cohones? Yeah, clean it because you made a mess. But If you're all sweated up because the ol lady is gonna get mad. Get the frilly apron out and turn in your man card. The kitchen is just as much mine as it is hers.

I would start with a scraper to lift the big chunks. Then move on to the oven cleaner.

Says the man with "Single" in his profile. It's easy to tell the troops to be brave when you're sitting in your bullet-proof jeep. :D
 
Single, as in, there is only one of me.

And that is really me in that pic too. Handsome devil, ain't I?

I just blamed it on the 4 year old.

Damn 4 year olds. They're notorious for dragging Daddy's socks out of the laundry bin and depositing them beside his bed, taking his jacket off the hook and throwing it over a chair, and staying out all night boozing with his friends.

Okay, maybe not the boozing with friends thing, but everything else, oh yeah, that's them. :mad:
 
Scouring pad or 500-1000 grit sandpaper.At least this is what i used and it did not mess up the finish on the stove
 
i know its clean, but i find that scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner, works great for geting stains off of my stove.
