I don't own steel wool, only green scrub pads. What would

try to drown it in some acid like vinegar or citric acid, and leave it there.
other option would be boiled water with detergent

You're going to need some degreaser, bud.

Alright, cool. How long should I soak it for?

>>7858493
I do have degreaser and I tried using it - only took off the top layer like soap does. It's caked on too thick. Fiance doesn't know to clean them before they get bad.

Some actually set off the smoke alarm, lololol.

go to dollar tree and get a replacement, then cover it with foil, and when it gets dirty, ditch the foil and refoil. never have to clean them again

Zippo fluid.
Also clorox lemony kitchen grease destroying wipes.

This nigger knows whats up.

go get some oven cleaner and coarse steel wool
and you might try cleaning them when you spill stuff instead of burning it

>>7858712
THIS. just get a new set for $5. It's not worth the work to clean this shit man.


Used to live in a barracks that did inspections all the time..had a fresh set on standby.. worth it.

Replace them. By the time you extend your elbow grease, buy some brillos, spray on some $4 oven cleaner, you could have bought 4 new ones at the dollar store (okay, maybe lowes or sears or amazon).

Baking soda soak. Or just buy new ones

Yes, OP should replace them, but that's not what he asked.

Barkeeper's Friend will clean the Gozer from /ck/. It's that powerful.

OP, they used to be higher quality and cleanable. Now it's more about the temporary look. Try not getting as many drips, or cleaning them up right away. I'll move an item to another burner when someone happens like a boil over, vs let it go.

Yea, no, I do actually try my best to clean them. I love to cook, and cook with butter, lard and oil quite often - splatter almost always happens.

Like I said, my fiance is terrible at cleaning them when they get dirty and they end up like that. Or worse.

I definitely appreciate all the advice, though!

Probably gonna try to soak them then cover these ones with foil till I can afford new ones.

$600/mo for two people, bills and baby. Frugality is a fucking talent of mine, lol.
