If the sugar is burnt and hard, it can be difficult to remove with regular cleaning methods. In this article, we will teach you how to clean hardened caramel on the gas stove top using different methods.
So, how to remove hardened caramel from the gas stove? Here are some tips:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and pour it over the burnt sugar. Stir with a spoon until the sugar is melted and the caramel is dissolved. Swish the solution around until the sugar is completely clean. Pour a glass of cold water over the sugar to cool and solidify it. Break up the hardened caramel with a spoon and dispose of it in the garbage.
If the sugar was burnt on the bottom of the stove, you can heat the stove to remove the burnt sugar. Place a heavy skillet or pot on the burner and turn it up to high heat. When the sugar begins to melt, turn the heat down to low and continue cleaning.
If the sugar was burnt on the top of the stove, you can use a scrubber to remove the burnt sugar. Wet the scrubber with warm water and wring it out. Swipe the scrubber over the sugar and scrub it clean. Rinse the scrubber and dry it off.
If the sugar was burnt on the bottom of the stove, you can use a razor to remove the burnt sugar. Wet the razor with warm water and wring it out. Dry the razor off and slice the sugar into small pieces. Rub the pieces of sugar against the razor to remove them.
If the sugar was burnt on the top of the stove, you can use vinegar to remove the burnt sugar. Wet the vinegar and wring it out. Sprinkle some sugar over the vinegar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Splash the vinegar over the burnt sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Scrape the sugar off with a spoon. Rinse the vinegar off and dry the stove off.
If the sugar was burnt on the top of the stove, you can use baking soda to remove the burnt sugar. Wet a cloth with baking soda and wring it out. Wipe the cloth over the sugar and scrub it clean. Rinse the cloth and dry it off.
If you still can’t get the sugar off of the stovetop, wet some more paper towels with ammonia and lay them on top of the sugar. Again, let the ammonia soak into the towel for a few minutes, then use a scrubber to remove the sugar.
Once you’ve tried all of the previous options and they still haven’t worked, it might be time to call in a professional. Wait several hours before trying to clean the stovetop again, in case residual sugar has hardened onto the surface.
If cleaning with boiling water, vinegar, or baking soda doesn’t work, try cleaning with scrubber, razor, or ammonia again. Just be sure to wait several hours in between attempts, in case residual sugar has hardened onto the surface.
With these tips, you should be able to clean hardened caramel on the gas stove top. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully, and don’t get the sugar too hot or it may explode. If cleaning with boiling water, vinegar, or baking soda still doesn’t work, try using a scrubber, razor, or ammonia again.
