Cleaning Burner Drip Pans |

Here is an excellent way to clean electric burner pans. Mix water and cream of tartar to a paste. Spread on burner pans and let set for a while. Rinse and wash with warm soapy water. For bad stains, let set overnight. Burner pans will look new again.

The safest, easiest way I've found to clean drip pans is to boil them in water with 1/4 to 1/2 cup baking soda for 10-15 minutes. Anything remaining on them is easily scrubbed off afterward and they look like new.
Hard to believe such a simple method works, but it truly does. I swear to god this does work. I was so shocked how the hard grease came off.

I used clorox powder bleach to clean drip pans. It did require some scrubbing with a tooth brush & repetition. There was one particularly stubborn one, which I used easy-off on. The powder bleach works wonderfully on medium stains.

If all else fail and you are feeling lazy they are now fairly inexpensive to replace. I have found them at dollar stores. They are usually no more then $1-$6 dollars for a set of standard 2 small 2 large. Or perhaps you can buy them separately and I have seen them for .75 a piece.

RE: Cleaning Burner Drip Pans
I found this thread while searching for an effective and efficient means for removing the hardened grease that inevitably adheres to the surface of stove top burner drip pans. Everyone's input was most helpful but I was left unsure of what method would do the job best. So I used a different method for each of the four burner sets: baking soda & vinegar, Soft Scrub with Bleach, Oxi Clean, and Easy-Off Glass Cooktop Cleaner. The entire experiment took place over 2 hours. The winner by effectiveness and efficiency was Oxi Clean followed closely by Easy-Off with effectiveness.
The first three cases use the trash bag soak method. After introducing the agents the bags were tied off and placed in the sun to speed reaction time.
Baking soda and vinegar seemed to have very little affect on the grease deposits. After 2 hours of soaking, scrubbing with a toothbrush only worked away at the surface of some of the hardened grease.
Soft Scrub with bleach seemed to have even less affect on the grease than the baking soda and vinegar. Soft Scrub was applied and allowed to set for 15 min before adding water and allowing to soak for the 2 hour duration. Scrubbing with a toothbrush was futile.
Oxi Clean on the other hand loosened most all of the hardened grease deposited on the burner forks and drip pan, allowing it to easily rub or flake off when going over it with a toothbrush. A scoop of Oxi Clean was spread around the drip pan, then the bag filled with warm water and tied off. This method was effective over the most surface area with the least amount of effort on my part.
Easy-Off works surprisingly fast, breaking up sticky grease letting it easily wipe away. Harder grease deposits take more time and effort to remove. Though with diligent application of Easy-Off and elbow grease even the hardest deposits melt away.

Add the drip pans (or anything caked and burned on) to a sink or basin filled with water, add one fabric softner sheet. Come back in the morning and RINSE off (ok, so you might have to sponge off!) works for just about anything!

Request: Cleaning Burner Drip Pans
Archived on 01/31/2007
I have some old drip pans that I can't get the burnt food and grease off of. I need a simple solution to get them clean.

RE: Clean Burnt Grease Off Old Drip Pans
I use generic "scrubbing bubbles" bathroom cleaner for tough grease. I just cleaned out my husband's former bachelor pad with it and it worked great! I usually buy it at the dollar store. Just spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes. It will loosen up the grease. You can then use the plastic scrub sponges with a lot less elbow grease.

Vinegar mixed with baking soda works very well. It will foam up when you first mix it, but don't let that scare you. I cleaned some old cookie sheets recently using this mixture. I made the mix right on the pans and let it stand for about half an hour and then scrubbed. Good luck!

RE: Clean Burnt Grease Off Old Drip Pans
I own and rent out a mobile home. When the last tenants moved, I went in to clean for the next tenants, and the oven looked like it hadn't been cleaned for the past 3 yrs. the tenants lived there. I bought the cheapest oven cleaner I could find. I sprayed the oven real thick with the cleaner. I also sprayed the broiler pan and racks and put them in a big garbage bag, and took them outside. I went back the next day to finish cleaning, and all it took on the oven and parts, was just a rag and hot water. I was amazed at how easy this 2" thick grease and burnt on food came off!

RE: Clean Burnt Grease Off Old Drip Pans
I spray my burnt on drip pans with oven cleaner and
let them sit for awhile, over night would be great and
they will usually wash right off. I learned to do this when I was cleaning apartments after a tenant moved out.

RE: Clean Burnt Grease Off Old Drip Pans
I rented a house of ours to some of the dirtiest people in the world,I think.!! the kitchen stove was worse than filthy and I didn't have the money to purchase a new one for new tenants.so I tried a method of mine on it to see if it would work and it worked so darned well,I was shocked..I used Palmolive Liquid Gel for the dishwasher and hot water.first I took a spatula from the kitchen and dug the gunk off ,removing as much as I could,then poured some of the Gel on a brush,put the "ELBOW" grease to it and it came off real easy.now the stove looks like new and is very usable again.the gel can also be used on glass and I've used it on hubby's greasy jeans too.just be sure you rinse good.

RE: Clean Burnt Grease Off Old Drip Pans
If these are the removable drip pans under the burners, you can use my method. I use the same thing for the grates that sit over the burners, also the oven racks, and the broiler pan. Place them all in a large plastic garbage bag. In case there may be a leak in the bag, first place the bag in your bathtub or sink. After placing everything inside the bag, pour in about a cupful of ammonia and tie the bag shut with a twistie. Leave it set overnight. Empty everything from the bag and wash in hot soapy water. You can also clean the walls of your oven by setting a glass bowl in the oven, pour about a cup of ammonia in the bowl, close the door and leave overnight. Wipe down with a sponge squeezed out in hot soapy water, and rinse. For stubborn spots, make a paste of baking soda and water and rub on with your damp sponge. My stove is 6 years old, I have never used oven cleaner, and it looks like new inside. Once you get your drip pans clean, keep them clean by wiping up spills asap, and treating any stubborn stains with the baking soda-water paste. Works better than any cleaner. and doesn't scratch the porcelain finish.

Burned-on Grease
To remove burned-on grease from a pot or pan, fill the pot or pan with water, drop in six Alka-Seltzer tablets, let soak for one hour, then scrub as usual.
