What happens when the stovetop is dirty<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">When we cook, it is normal for food scraps, grease, oil or even sweet liquids to fall onto the stovetop and burn with the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">\n<div id=\"tinyhouse-zone.com_responsive_3\" data-google-query-id=\"COLs7tH6rpIDFb61gwcdWcMZew\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23201474937\/tinyhouse-zone.com\/tinyhouse-zone.com_responsive_3_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">That dirt clogs the gas outlets and alters the flame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">If instead of blue you see it more orange or yellow, it means that the combustion is not efficient and you are wasting gas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">That weak flame doesn\u2019t cook well, it takes longer, and it makes the gas run out faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">2. What you need to properly clean the burners<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">Continued on the next page<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">2. What you need to properly clean the burners<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">This trick is cheap, easy, and uses things you probably already have at home. Take note of the materials:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">White toothpaste (not gel)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">2 tablespoons of salt<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">1 tablespoon of baking soda<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">1 tablespoon of liquid detergent<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Hot water<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">A large container<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Brush or sponge<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">3. Step-by-step instructions for leaving your burners spotless:<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">Make sure the burners are cool. Carefully remove all parts: caps, diffusers, and heads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Apply toothpaste to the metal parts. Using a sponge or brush, rub well to penetrate the stuck-on grease. This loosens the residue without damaging the material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">In a large bowl, prepare the solution: hot water, salt, baking soda, and dish soap. Mix and submerge all the pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Soak them for at least 2 hours. This will loosen all the ingrained grime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">After that time, rub the pieces again if any dirt remains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Rinse with clean water and dry each part thoroughly before reassembling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">4. How do you know if it worked?<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">Once you\u2019ve put everything back together, turn on the stove.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">If the flame comes out blue and strong, you have achieved efficient combustion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">That means the gas is burning evenly and efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">If it continues to show orange, leave it on for a few minutes to stabilize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">If it doesn\u2019t improve, it may be necessary to check the nozzle or consult a gas technician.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Tips and advice:<\/span><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">Do it once a month to maintain optimal performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Avoid spilling liquids on the burners. If it happens, clean it up immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Never use abrasive products or steel wool, as they can damage the metal parts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">If the stove is old and still malfunctioning, have a professional check the injectors and valves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This method also works for industrial kitchens or portable jerrycans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This simple trick can help you save a good amount of money each month, especially if you use bottled gas. Plus, you\u2019ll cook faster and more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Try it and share it with someone else who\u2019s also looking to save money. It really works!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you feel that bottled or natural gas is lasting less and less time?
