How do you get the grease and grime off the drip pan on the stove?

Question

I usually put the grates from the stove in the dishwasher, but, the drip pans never seem to come clean even after I scrub them like crazy and soak them in hot soapy water. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I clean them after each use. Eventually, i'll just buy new ones. I hate this stove more then any I've ever had.

Answer 1

The strongest stuff I ever used was engine degreaser. You have to do it outside, as the fumes are very strong, but it worked very well!

Answer 2

I find that baking soda or a similar powdered cleanser, such as Bon Ami works well on this. Since it is a soft powder, it absorbs the grease. Plus it is a mild abrasive and removes other residues and stains.

Answer 3

1st put it in a very hot wash, in the dish washer, then when it comes out use lemon juice, and elbow grease,  

Answer 4

I agree with the Bon Ami. Just let them soak in hot soapy water for a while to loosen everything, then use the bon ami on it with a sponge you want to throw away.

Bon Ami even removes rust stains off your countertop from pans left on them sitting in water. I didnt know this,  my mom did this and it took it off.

Answer 5

I scrub mine with brillo pads or softscrub and a scouring pad.
