Serving: After cleaning, replace the burner grates and check if the flame height is even. A clean burner ensures more efficient cooking. Consider using this cleaning method once a month or as needed, depending on your usage.
Storing: Store your cleaning paste in a sealed container for future use. This mixture can last for a few weeks and be used to clean your burners again without needing to mix a new batch.
Variants:
Citrus Scented Cleaner: If you prefer a more pleasant scent, add a few drops of lemon or orange essential oil to the cleaning paste. This will leave a fresh fragrance behind after cleaning.
Heavy-Duty Grease Cleaner: For extra tough grease buildup, you can add a teaspoon of baking soda to your mixture. The additional abrasiveness helps remove stubborn grime without damaging the burners.
