I just bought a used gas kitchen range (stove). It's in good shape, but
the "pan" under the 4 burners is coated with grease. I left it outdoors
and tried to hose that crud off, but it's really baked on. Dish
detergent did not help much. It's not easy to get under the pipes and
stuff to scrub it. Is there some cleaning solution to remove that stuff?
I thought of oven cleaner, but I believe that needs to be applied to a
hot oven, which I cant do. What do other people use for this?

Thanks.

As long as the "pans" are not aluminum.

Which can be found in drain cleaner, or oven
cleaner.


I'd try the oven cleaner, might do the job
even if it's cold. If you can get the pan out,
a pressure washer might do the job for you.

I wonder if a heat gun or propane torch with a flame spreader could be used to heat it up enough for oven cleaner and a non metallic scraper to be used to remove the burnt on grease. 8-)

I've used oven cleaner "cold" on many things including pots & pans and
on oven grates. Works good. Many oven cleaners say that they work hot
of cold, they just take a little longer cold.

I cleaned a commercial deep fryer with oven cleaner and it worked very well. Of course I did it outdoors where it could be hosed off. 8-)

+1 I (we) get the oven cleaner from the Dollar Store. Spray smoker
grates that are cold. My bride places them in a plastic garbage bag
for a few days. They come clean with little effort, just using a
water hose.

I got a can of oven cleaner, sprayed it on, let it sit an hour or so,
and hosed all the crud off. Aside from a few clumps, which I scraped
off, it cleaned well. I followed up with some dish detergent and hosed
it again. Now it's in the house drying. I'm sure it will need to dry for
a day before I use it.

Side note. If you spray the hose into the end of those burners with all
the little holes, they become a sprinkler! I sprayed the hose in them
to clean all the holes, but the sprinkler idea may be a good way to
recycle old stove parts.

I suppose I better go mop the floor again. Lots of water running off....
(It dont help that it's raining outside.. Otherwise I would have let it
dry outdoors).

By the way, that oven cleaner is very slippery. Even after rinsing my
hands several times, they still feel slippery!!!! Next time I'll wear
rubber gloves...

You could get the old lady off her bon-bon eatin' ass and do it.
Just sayin'.

ZEP aerosol can for kitchen/auto. Spray on, wait, wrap in plasic, let sit
for hours, then rinse off.

Didn't hurt aluminum, metal, nor plastic. Didn't even hurt hands, ...too
much.

Bought first can at Walmart, and never found the product again!

Would you like to find the product again?

If memory serves, Home Depot has that product line.

If not, then disregard above information.

I wonder if some sort of automotive cleaner would work. Would some
type of
hand cleaner like orange Goop do any good?

Here is your solution. Get a can of Sokoff. It removes baked on grease and carbonized deposits from all metals, it is even safe on aluminum. I've used it to remove heavy deposits on a commercial waffle maker. You can find it online; do a Google search. You will want to wear heavy rubber gloves.
