A boring, but practical, question

[brad.maynes]

Important fact #1 - I brew inside, on my gas stove.

Important fact #2 - I have (as yet, knock wood) had no boil-overs.

Regardless of fact #2, the heat off the bottom of my large kettles causes whatever minimal amounts of invisible "gunk" are on my stove surface to burn and become nice, brown stains. On occasion I have been able to remove these with Lysol spray, but mostly they are just there. Does anyone have any heavier-duty suggestions?

My stove surface appears to be enameled/painted metal.

Thanks in advance,

BLM

Oven cleaner saved my marriage


Spray it on, let it sit 20 min or so, and wipe away. Viola! Clean stove top.

Engine degreaser also works to clean stovetops off too.

And for the stuff you can't get off with oven cleaner, use Barkeeper's Friend to scour it.

This has worked for me every time...even for full boilovers. I buy the generic brands from whatever big box store Ihappen to be in...Even mounted 2 on a dollarstore mop...does wonders on floors.
