Cleaning a Viking Range Oven?

Question

I recently bought a VIking Range (Gas/Freestanding/Sealed burners). Through the excitement and joy of cooking, I have gotten a few oil splashes and food stains on the surface as well as on the cast iron.

Any ideas on best cleaning methods?

Answer 1

The best way to clean the surface, burners, grills, burner caps, etc on your range is by hand using warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or non scrub sponge.  Then towel dry them completely.

Since yours are coated/sealed, don't put the burners in the dishwasher or let them soak, which will lead to rust.  If there are really stubborn stains, you could try bar keeper's friend.  It's a very mild abrasive that removes rust and stains without damaging that material.

You have a terrific range there!
