Remove the burner grates and soak them in warm, soapy water for about 15 minutes. Use a brush to scrub away any food particles or grease that has built up. For stubborn stains, use a baking soda paste (baking soda and water) and scrub gently.
Check and Clean the Vents:
The vents allow heat to circulate properly. When they get clogged with grease or food debris, the heat distribution becomes uneven. Use a damp cloth or a small brush to clean the vents. You can also use compressed air to blow out any dust or dirt.
Clean the Exhaust Fan and Filter:
If your cooker has an exhaust fan, it’s important to clean it regularly. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the fan blades, and clean the filter with soapy water. If the filter is particularly greasy, you can soak it in warm water with a little vinegar for a more thorough clean.
Descale the Cooker (If Applicable):
For cookers with water boilers or steam functions, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up over time, leading to clogging. Use a mixture of water and vinegar to descale your cooker and remove any buildup.
Check for Gas or Electrical Issues:
If your gas cooker or electrical stove is still inefficient after cleaning, there may be a more serious underlying issue, such as a problem with the gas flow or electrical connections. Consider having a professional check it out.
