How To Keep Your Gas Stove Grates Clean

If your you have a gas stove and the cooking grates never get clean after scrubbing or a run through the dishwasher cycle try this solution that I found on eHow.com

Gas stove grates – If you have a gas stove, for which the porcelain-coated iron grates and drip pans become blackened with cooked-on food, here’s a fantastic tip.

Remove the grates, drip pans and small circular pieces that cover the burner and place them in zip-type plastic bags. Into each bag, pour in 1/4 of ammonia. Gently shake the bags and then place them in the sink overnight. In the morning, the cooked-on foods will WIPE right off with very little effort! Be sure to use gloves and don’t breath the fumes, as they are very strong.
