Does anyone have any tips on how to get baked on residue of a gas burner
- The most fun--DIY abrasive blasting using baking soda. Requires nothing expensive as long as you've got an air compressor.
I use vinegar and baking soda. It is amazing what that will get off with a good soak. If the parts come off, pouring boiling water to cover with a good slosh of baking soda will soak most junk off with a light scrubbing later - or a crock pot soak.
Using more baking soda as a light scour works pretty well. Or if all else fails, I get out the Barkeeper's Friend powder. No knives needed and no scratching.
