How to Clean Your Stovetop and Drip Pans
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- I spent three fun months renovating, refurbishing and decorating my daughter's house. I was pretty happy with the changes and my daughter is Really happy. All in all we were able to transform five rooms and of course I filmed all of it. In the upcoming weeks I will be sharing these projects with you.
This video is of a cleaning project.
My daughter, bless her, has always had a glass stove top and knew how to clean it. She didn't know how to clean her electric coil stove top. During my visit I was able to show how to clean it and of course, I recorded the effort for all the other millennials who are perplexed by this ancient appliance. Learn how to remove the coils, clean underneath the pans and clean the drip pans with as little effort possible. Hopefully I was able to make it a little entertaining as well. Enjoy!

I basically raised myself and didn’t learn how to really do anything involved with being adult from my parents. Some things you can figure out how to do yourself but for those things that are harder, I’m so grateful for videos like this. I had no idea you could remove the coils or open the top. Thank you for this content, it’s how people like me learn how to do stuff sometimes.
In the same exact boat. I am amazed the things you can learn online
Thank you for that comment, it really touched me. 🥰 I'm glad you were able to get something of value from our channel. I also go to CZcams to help me navigate life. It's a great resource. 👍 Thanks again! ❤️ ~Hey Maaa
CZcams is such a great resource! I'm always amazed when I can find videos that answer my weird questions. Saves so much time and money.
Thanks for commenting, 😊 ~Hey Maaa
Thank you for showing how to remove the top part. I just moved and this place has an electric stove and I had no idea how to clean it. I’ve watched so many videos on how to clean it but I was trying to figure out if they came off. And this was the last video I was going to watch. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment! Glad I could help! I hope you were able to clean it. Keep watching for future cleaning tips! 😊 ~Hey Maaa
SAME I THOUGHT I BROKE THA STOVE THIS MORNING AND JUST SLIPPED IT BACK IN 😭😭😭😭
When I turn mine on they start smoking what can I use or can the burner be replaced if so where can I buy them from
Yooo, thank you. My mom was like "Do you want me to come over some time and help you clean?" I said, "No, mom! I can do it myself!"
I did not know how to do it. 🥺
My advise would be if your Mom offers to help you clean, take her up on the offer, you never know what you may learn. But if not, I'm sure You've got this! Thanks for the comment! 😊~Hey Maaa
I had no idea you could life up the white part! Definitely coming back to this vid again, thanks!
Don't feel bad. Evidently, a lot of people didn't know that you can lift the stove top. (Look at the views for this video😄). We're glad this video helped you and you enjoyed it! Come back anytime and subscribe for more helpful videos.
See you soon, 😊
~Hey Maaa
Thank you for sharing! I was never taught and I’m almost 30. This is very helpful to me
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful. Hey, my daughter was around your age when I taught her. 😆 As you can see in this video. LOL!
Thanks for your comment!
~Hey Maaa
You and me, both, and I'm almost 40. 😅 I'm used to gas stoves.
And this is exactly what you tube is for! Thank you I couldn't figure out how I was going to clean them.
Glad I could help! I love this comment!!! 😊 Thank you this makes it all worth it! (btw I agree, I come to CZcams to learn things too)
Me either because I didn’t know you could take them out so easily…I was getting in between them and I didn’t feel they were clean enough. I figured CZcams University had the answer
Thank you so much for sharing! I've never had one before and my boyfriend's place has one, and when he moved in they were questionable, but he's definitely not a clean cook so they're on my task list for the week! I was scratching my head for too long trying to figure them out before I came across your video! Many blessing!
You are so welcome! I hope the video helps. Thank you for the comment. ~Hey Maaa 😊
I appreciate you, this made cleaning my drip pans so much less painfull.
Glad I could help! I used to dread doing this chore, it was because I was making it harder than it needed to be. Thank you for you comment!😊 ~Hey Maaa
That was a valiant effort... I would have opted for buying new ones... As a matter of fact, since mine have badly burnt on food that simply can not be removed, I am saving up to buy a glass-top range... I am really sick and tired of cleaning my coil-top stove. By the way, one can buy a product to re-paint the enamel that is chipped off on this range.
Thank you for your comment! Yes, I researched some appliance paint but didn't want to spend that kind of money on a rental unit, unfortunately they don't send it in a small enough size to make it worth it. Good luck with saving up for a glass top. Definitely easier to clean. 😊
@@HeyMaaa Well dear you surely put in a great effort for a rental. The appliance paint I got was in a bottle like nail polish size. I got it at a hardware store and it was very inexpensive... just something to note that it is available in some places.
@@Dakiniwoman Ok, I'll have to check again. I'm going for a visit next week. Thanks for the tip! 🙂
Thank you so much for showing me this. I’m learning how to take care of things for myself and I really appreciate you. 🙏
You are so welcome, we're so glad that you enjoyed the video! We have some new home maintenance and repair DIY videos coming up so don't forget to subscribe. Thanks again for commenting and Good Luck!☺️
~Hey Maaa
Thanks. My mom cleaned these back in 70’s and the place I have now has this style stove. Needed refresher on how to clean
You are so welcome! Thank you for leaving a comment! 😊
~Hey Maaa
Thank you so so much!! My boyfriend and I have had this apartment for a year and I’ve tried to clean the drip pans without removing them because I had no idea if they could come out they looked like they were stuck in there!! I am just blown away, thank you so much. I love moms, they just know everything!!
You are so welcome! I'm glad I was able to help. 😊
Also, (Mom's do know everything.)😉
Thank you for your comment!
~Hey Maaa
Great job, everyone should know how to clean, cooking may take a little more work, but cleaning where you live is a must with me. You may not want to clean but you should know how.
Agreed. Thank you for your kind comment, we're glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
~Hey Maaa
Single guy here. Never even thought about this lol Had no idea the burners could be removed. Just noticed how grungy they looked and thought 🤔hmmm maybe this is why my lady friends don’t want me to cook for them 😂Don’t think I can clean’em enough to change that but at least I can improve them...probably just buy some new ones eventually. I searched this and yours was the first video up. Thanks for enlightening me! I’ll file this under you DO learn something new everyday lol Thank you so much!!
🤣🤣🤣Ok, that really made me laugh! I think having a clean stove can only help you secure more dinner dates. Come back to Hey Maaa for more dating advice. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the comment!
@@HeyMaaa 😂😂😂 Will do!! Thanks again!!
The problem is when I put my stove back together my indicator burner light won't come back on. Now even though I turn the stove on I don't know which burner is on without holding my hand over it to feel for heat .
Definitely a job for a professional. I wouldn't ignore this. It could be a blown bulb or it can be a short. Remember this is an electrical appliance so Please, please, please be careful. Good Luck! Thank you for your comment! 😊 ~Hey Maaa
Thank you for this! My parents have a gas stove and I just moved into my own place and it’s electric. I had no idea how to clean the dip pan. But didn’t even know you could remove the (idk what the circle things are called lol) but thank you!!
You are so welcome! (btw they're called coils)😊Thank you so much for the comment! ~Hey Maaa
My apartment is so bad ..leaks..fridge don't work n these things r messed up. I don't know why they even rented it to me. But I'm gonna do this cuz I can't cook without the smoke detector beeping all crazy. Thank u for this !!
Oh no! Definitely clean them if your smoke detector is going off. I think my daughter also had a little smoking. A lot of people see the plug on the burner and get super scared to clean it. You can clean it but like everything else, you have to be careful! I have lived is some messed up rentals in my life too, that's how I know how to improve them. I will continue to post whatever tips and tricks that I have.😄
Good luck and thank you for the comment!
Cleaning the stove everynight before bed (or atleast once a week if everynight is too much for you) will keep it clean and looking brand new. Youll avoid all the elbow grease to clean up after everything has stuck. No judgement just a tip if anyone needs. Also surprised so many people didnt know the stove top lifted.
Thanks for the tips! We're glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
~Hey Maaa
Whoaa I’ve been trying to figure out how to remove the ranges for years! I had no idea it was this easy! Thanks for your vid :)
Any time! I'm glad that this video really seemed to help a lot of people. 😊
Best video I've seen this morning. I need to clean my stove and oven my kids messed it up🤦🏿♀️
Absolutely! I've been there. Hopefully I was able to make it a little easier. 😊Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@HeyMaaa yes I just need to buy the supplies. Love your video.
i'm moving into a place with a coil stovetop this August and was worried about the cleaning. this should be helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your comment. Good luck at your new place! 😊
~Hey Maaa
Super nice technique! also didn’t know parents clean their kids house, thought it was the way around nice to learn
Thank you for your kind comment, we're glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
***I will definitely show this comment to my daughter*** She actually is very busy with her studies and research, otherwise her house is very neat and clean. While I was visiting and saw an opportunity to Mother her a little. It was a teachable moment. And I enjoyed helping.
(She would do the same for me😉)
~Hey Maaa
You can lift the white part up btw to make it cleaner.
I did lift the white part up in the video and showed how you can clean underneath.
Thank you for your comment, 😊
~Hey Maaa
Love the background music!!
I know, isn't it great! Reminds me of those old cartoons of "modern future appliances". I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment!😄
Love the old 40s-50s edits and music
Thank you for your comment, we're glad you enjoyed the video! 😄
~Hey Maaa
😩 I’ve been struggling on how to clean the crust under the drip pans 😩😭 now I’m going to try the spray n see if it works for me 🙏🏻 thank you!! 🩵
You got this! If possible, I recommend leaving it overnight like I did. If we can do it, so can you! Good luck!😊
Thank you for your comment,
~Hey Maaa
Thank you so much, now my stove dosent have to be nasty anymore! ❤

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment 😊
WoW! Thanks!
You're welcome! Glad you found the video useful. 😊~Hey Maaa
yesh...I've had to start removing the knows to make sure I don't turn on the oven!!!
Be careful! Safety first and all of that. 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Really scared to clean my electric stove. I can't seem to find the plug and don't want to move the stove, but I want to ensure that it's safe before I clean. Any tips? Thank you for this video!
Flip the circuit breaker to your stove in your breaker box. You won't have to move the stove or worry about it being unsafe.
Great Advice! 😊
I agree with Vixen Van Gogh, if you are nervous about cleaning it while it is plugged in than the circuit breaker would to turn off the power. I have never done that but it cant hurt.
Ya I just moved into a place with a different stove and it's like this one now and everytime I try to cook it smokes and my bf said they need cleaning they are also a bit rusted out
I'd definitely try cleaning it, should fix the problem. Thanks for the comment! Good Luck!☺️
~Hey Maaa
You are a great mom. Please adopt me😁 seriously I just tried to clean my stove plates this morning.. fail!! In going to try your way. Thank you for posting
Oh, please tell my daughter that. LOL! I'm glad this helped! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
What a cute dogo
My daughter will be so happy to see this comment (they are my grand-doggies)! I see you have a cute doggo yourself!😊
Thanks for the comment!
Gay I’m so excited I know how to clean my stove top now! Thank you 🙏
I'm glad this video helped! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Hey Maaa! What do I do when every time I use my stove the burner I put my pots and pans on starts to smoke/steam up??? I tried looking for a video and stumbled upon your video, and I’m figuring this might be a good thing to do, but mine aren’t very dirty, I just moved into this place like 6 months ago and they’ve just started doing it, was it my fault? Is it wise to clean them like you did or should I get someone to look at them?
Thank you for your comment. I would guess something fell on the burners or below the burners and that's why it is smoking. I hope it's not steam because that would mean water is close to the electrical insert area. But if the burners are clean, than I do not know what could cause this problem. My advice would be to report it to maintenance. We're glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
~Hey Maaa
Hi! Thanks so much for this video! I've been wanting to deep clean my kitchen and had no idea you could remove the tops that way! Quick question- my stovetop is black. Will the steel wool scratch off the color or will it be fine?
I would not use steel wool on the black part. It is only painted on and can scratch or chip. Maybe a plastic scrub pad would help and lots of elbow grease. There are a lot of good products on the market to cut the old baked on stains without harming the finish. I hope this helps. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
@@HeyMaaa thanks so much!
Man I just need to know how to clean those dang burners. Done watched 5 videos. Can I even wash them? I have no idea what dripped on it, but lots of smoke.
No! Please don't wash them. They are electrical devices.
I have had this same problem and this is what I did, although... no guarantees on safety here. 🧯🚒
I unplugged them and gently washed the coil areas with a damp sponge and water, that's it. If there is solid debris on the coil use a plastic scouring pad. I was really just trying to get whatever was on them (once it was burnt on overflowed🥛 milk *terrible*, once it was oil) without introducing toxic chemicals ☠️because of the next step.
The sad part is when they've dry and you plug them back in There Will Still Be Smoke.😶🌫️ At that point I just put on the exhaust, opened the windows, turned off the fire detector and burnt it off.🔥 That is what I have done in the past. But again I can't say that was the right way.
Thanks for commenting, I hope this helps!😊
~Hey Maaa
Bless you
Thank you for your caring comment. 🙏Many blessings to you as well. 😊
~Hey Maaa
I'm maintenance and janitor worker I knew this for years I just surprised s lot people didn't know this all ready.. you all so could just wrap the pan in aluminum foil
I think a lot of the younger people (my daughter's age and younger) mostly had glass top stoves by time they got their own places. That is why I made this video. I was surprised that my daughter didn't know how they came apart for cleaning. I also remember my Mom wrapping the drip pans in foil, although I didn't like that much. I tended to get dirty easier so you'd have to replace it often.
Thanks for your comment, 😊
~Hey Maaa
do you clean the coils too?
If the coils were oily or had some residue on them I would have wiped them down with a damp cloth. I don't think I had to do that here. But if you ever have a spill or something. You can do this once they cool down.
Thank you for your comment,😊
~Hey Maaa
Do I need to unplug or turn the circuit breaker off first?
I have never done that personally but it cant hurt. Safety first! I would say if you are nervous about cleaning it while it is plugged and the power is on, then flipping the circuit breaker is the easiest way to cut the power. 😊
Do you wash the stove burners
If they are dirty, wait until they're cool, you can wipe them off with a lightly damp cloth. I didn't have to here and generally don't have to unless something us spilled on them.
Thank you for your comment, ~Hey Maaa😊
Excuse me???? The top of the stove liftssss????
Ha, ha, ha! 😂Like the video says....It's MAGIC! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment! ~Hey Maaa😊
Can you explain how you lift the top of the stove like that please?
Do you have to unplug the oven before cleaning?
No need but some are nervous and feel better unplugging any electrical device before cleaning or working on it. Thank you for your comment, we're glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
~Hey Maaa
What gloves do you wear in this video? Also if she is renting, the landlord should be the one to pay for the replacements if they were in disrepair when she moved in.
I agree, but my daughter is not one to complain...to the landlord. Why do that when you can complain to your Mom who does DIYs all the time. 😉Seriously, it was a cheap little project and since I recorded it, it seems to have helped a lot of people. 😊Thanks for your comment! ~Hey Maaa
Also, I just wore regular rubber gloves that you would use to wash dishes.
Mine don't lift and pull, they are different. It's an old tiny apartment Hotpoint stove. Help!!
I'm not familiar with that type of stovetop but I did a little Googling of "How to clean a Hotpoint stove top" and found some tips. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it's for your exact model and don't want to tell you something that would be dangerous or break your stove. I would recommend Googling and see what answers others in your situation received. I hope this helps! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Yeah, maybe spray this in your garage or outdoors.
Very valid suggestion. 👍I did have the door cracked for ventilation. Thank for your comment, ~Hey Maaa😊
What type of spray did she use
I believe I used 409 Lemon Scented Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner. Thank you for your comment. ~Hey Maaa 😊
Thank you so so much!
You're welcome! Thank you for your comment!😊
~Hey Maaa
Leo 😍😍😍😍
She was a sweet girl.
🥰🐶❤️Thanks for the comment, ~Hey Maaa😊
Did you turn the power off to them first? I’m super pregnant and can’t reach or move my stove but I want to clean it so so badly but I can’t reach my plugs or my circuit breaker
No, turning it off is not necessary
No I did not turn off the power. But I was careful around the openings and didnt saturate the stovetop or anything with lots of liquids. Just please be very careful around the openings. Congratulations, you probably have your little one by now! (sorry it took so long to answer)
I'm glad this helped! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Where did you buy 409?
Honestly I don't remember. If I had to guess Id say Walmart, Dollar Tree or Publix (grocery store here in Fl). It is commonly available where I live in America. I hope this helped! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
My stove looks just like this. I thought the paint burned off/on. Feel better about getting I cleaned.
I'm glad this helped! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Omg thank u for showing me this. !!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your comment! 😊 ~Hey Maaa
Thank you for this video because I have a electric stove I moved into the place and is atrocious
Glad I was able to help. Evidently a lot of people, including homeowners and landlords don't know how to clean electric stoves anymore. Hey, that's what CZcams is for, I guess. I hope this helps. Thank you for you comment!😊 ~Hey Maaa
Thank you so much. Don’t really have any guidance just kinda figuring shit out as I go
Aren't we all, aren't we all. I'm glad this helped! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Don’t use steel wool on the surface, use a nylon scrubber
Hmmm... thanks for the tip. Thank you for your comment! 😊 ~Hey Maaa
I view'd thys to see how the silver heat plates slip back in; but that part was bypassed.. 😣
I took one off, & now i seem to have trouble slipping it back in the round groove.. ..
its not sitting flushed in place like its suppose to..
🤷♂️🤦♂️😫
#Dang It
Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry that I didn't record the part you needed.🙄 Maybe it is not sitting in the little slot correctly? There are little slots in the silver rim that line up with the metal on the base of the coil. When it's not lined up the coil will be raised a little bit. I hope this helps. Let me know if this solves the problem. ~Hey Maaa 😊
@@HeyMaaa Hey, thanks. Its quite alright.. 😄👌🏽 I will give it a try when i get a moment & see if i can get it back in.. I just happen to notice that, they're suppose to sit flush to the surface, but kept sliding whenever i attempted putting it back on.. I was checking for any grooves to see if i was doin it wrong.. ... but i think the next tyme, i'll just leave it 😂
I did fail to mention; overall, your video & cleaning technique was awesome!👌🏽😁
Awww...Thanks for that! 😊~Hey Maaa
@@HeyMaaa Oh Indeed without a doubt, you're welcome.. 😁👌🏽
Nowadays, I've noticed when people give their genuine attention on doing something; a persons good work goes unnoticed, so its only right to give credit when credit is due! 💁♂️😊
Aluminum does not rust. They are steel. You can check with a magnet
The more you know...
I did not know that. Thank you for your knowledgeable comment. I'm always up to learn something new.😊
Hi leo!!🥰
I just teared up. Unfortunately we lost Leo Aug of this year. She lived a long active 15 years and enjoyed all of the time she had with my daughter. We all miss her very much. Thank you for your comment and noticing our precious angel.
We will love her always and forever. We miss you, Leonora.♥
@@HeyMaaa I'm so so sorry for your loss.. ull meet again on the rainbow bridge.. if u dont know what that is u can Google it. It may make u feel better. 🌈🥰
Now I know how to take off, but not how to put back on. Hahahaha
Thanks for your comment! 😊It seems I forgot to record that part, as I've been told. They should plug right back in. There are usually little slots in the rim that the feet of the coils fit back into. That's the only slightly difficult part. You just have to be sure to line that up correctly. Let me know if you have any questions.😊
~Hey Maaa
I replace the drip pans every six months for what they costs it's not worth the time to scrub them
I definitely understand, that's why I mentioned that they are not that expensive. I would tend to just clean them if possible. No sense in throwing out a perfectly good item. But, as you see in this video sometimes they are too far gone and in that instance I would replace them.
Thanks for your comment!😊
~Hey Maaa
Mmmmm challah!!
Yes! Delish! 😋Thank you for the comment!😊 ~Hey Maaa
My stove is one year old and my drip pans and coil burners are just as clean as the day I bought the stove because I spend no more then 5 minutes every night and clean them with a Mr. Clean eraser pad. I can't believe you would cook food on this filthy nasty stove when it it so easy to keep clean.
Thanks for the tip on keeping a new stove clean. This video is more for those who have an old stove or one that needs to be cleaned. 😊 Thank you for the comment. ~Hey Maaa
I can’t wait to not have an electric stove top again
The glass tops are certainly easier to clean. I agree! Thank you for your comment! 😊 ~Hey Maaa
I pulled one out by accident and I thought I broke it😂😂😂
It's always a little scary the first time you do it. Even if you're like me and know it's supposed to come out. I hope the video helps! 😊 Thank you for your comment!
One word vinegar! Then soak.
Vinegar is definitely great for cleaning. I will try that in the future. Thanks for the comment. 😊
Pair of new drip pans $10.00 at home depot.
Thanks for the tip! Thank you for your comment! 😊 ~Hey Maaa
Try baking soda next time
My Mom is a big advocate for cleaning with banking soda and elbow grease. It probably would work pretty well. Thank you for the tip and thanks for the comment!
😊
~Hey Maaa
Wear a mask … once the top of the stove is sprayed with oven cleaner let it soak for about 10 minutes then the scrubbing isn’t necessary.. a soft cloth can be used and the grease will come right off .
The sixth extinction is coming &with hands held together in prayer , it happens during this generation . #Let’sGetIt
Yeah, you're probably right about that. Might as well have a clean stove when I slip into extinction. Thanks for the comment!
😊~Hey Maaa
😷 wear a mask next time
Your daughter don't know how to clean?? Sorry..maybe you should have shown her.
Thank you for your comment. It is her first time with an electric stove top. She knew how to clean a glass top and I showed her how to clean an electric one. I suppose if she ever gets a gas stove she'll ask me to show her that, as well. Mothering never ends.
😊~Hey Maaa
I'm 65 and I had no idea how to clean an electric stove.
I've only had gas stoves, so how on earth would I know how to deal with this contraption with weird electric coils on top?
I didn't know how easily and safely the coils could be removed to clean underneath.
Everything is clean now.👍🏻
You're wasting unnecesary water 😥.
I agree with you 100%! I was appalled when I edited the video and heard it running and running and running. Usually I'm the one who tell people to turn off the water and not let it run. I think I was just so distracted with the task at hand and recording and remembering to say the steps that I forgot to turn it off. It just slipped my mind. Just want you to know that I do care about Mother Earth and want to preserve her water. It was a mistake. Thank you for your comment! 😊 ~Hey Maaa
Wear a mask please
Always, luckily I have a bunch from doing crafts. Thank you for your concern and thank you for the comment. 😊~Hey Maaa
