The
absolute best stove maintenance tip is keeping it clean. Keeping the top of the
stove clean is not just essential for appearances, but basic safety as well.
Cleansing the stove top can be a tedious job, so precautionary upkeep is the
ideal answer. The following are some helpful stove use, care and cleaning tips
from the Clinton appliance repair expert:
Wash
all spills as quickly as possible and if necessary, clean the stove top right
before using it to stop food from being cooked onto the surface, making the
work more challenging
Keep
electric and gas burners clean. Clean burners generate heat more effectively so
they will do the job more efficiently. Food and debris on or inside the burner
can possibly be a fire risk.
Switch
off electric burners two to three minutes before cooking is done to let the
remaining heat finish the job.
Work
with a pan that fits the burner. The appropriate size pot or pan will
distribute heat more effectively, and a lot less energy will be wasted heating
the air.
Replace
drip pans if they get permanently stained
Food
spills or grease accumulation can be a serious fire danger. If disregarded, a
poorly maintained cooktop will become virtually impossible to clean and bring
back to new condition. Some foods can mar the finish and lead to rust and
corrosion. Managing to keep it clean is the most ideal way to maintain its
looks.
