abwsco Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 well not the hob itself but the rings that the burners sit on. The hob is stainless steel - would the rings be aluminium? Anyway, we've already spoilt them by scrubbing at them and scratched them but how can I get what looks like "burnt bits" off them If anyone can understand what I'm on about I think they need a medal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I know exactly what you mean ... but I'm afraid I don't know an answer to this one. They get discoloured very quickly and I've never managed to restore them to the way they look when you first get the hob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yes, I know what you mean as well, mine are the same. Those parts used to be in s/s as well and not this soft, rough metal which you can't clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Lakeland do a very good oven cleaner which will tackle the job you describe. **Here** It is biodegradeable but I'm not sure that makes it particularly "green" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks everyone I'm wondering about doing a really ungreen thing and seeing if I can buy new ones as it looks so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 try applying a paste made from Bicarb and washing up liquid. Leave for a while then use a damp cloth to work the paste like a scouring powder. Should be gentle enough not to scratch too much. Doesn't alway help but can be good depending on what was spilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracefruit Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 You can soak them in a strong solution of bio washing powder and water. This gets rid of a lot of cooked-on yucky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I swear by a 50/50 mix of borax and bicarb. It shifts everything naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
