Turquoise-Licious Mixing!

[hooverwheelaway]

Sweethearts, it looks like you've been glossing over you

Kelly, darling...

They're here waiting for you to come clean them any time you want! We'll even let you use the turquoise mixer while you're here.



Really, though.. those burner rings don't just "pop out" ... the whole burner assembly has to be taken out, and the burner is attached to the ring.
Not the easiest task. If it had been that easy, believe me, I would have gotten some Easy Off on those rings looooong ago!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Do burners (coils, actually) of that era on a GE tilt up, or unplug or none of the above?

Dawn Dissolver is a milder verion of Easy-Off (lye-based oven cleaner). I'm just sayin'

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Toggle...

So what does it mean if, in fact, a UPS man delivered this beautiful KitchenAid? ((He Did!!!))

Hmmmmm.

Um. The burners do tilt upwards.. but then I have to clean it at the stove. I was saying-- if the burners were modular, and essentially unplugged from the stove and the burner rings just completely came out, I'd be all over cleaning them...in the sink.

Welcoming Smell of Warmed SOS

You're right, they'reifficultto clean and the sos is impossible to rinse out completely. The first time you warm the burner you get wisps of soapy incense. I always ask myself if it wouldn't be better to keep my mouth shut, you can be never be convicted for what you think its when you open your mouth the trouble starts. Walking the tight rope of being a pain in the neck instead of tongue in cheek is where I end up. Fred, I'd love to clean your range. First of all because of it's esteemed owners and secondly because of my deep love of cleaning, restoring, nurturing and playing in water to clean anything.

Glass Bowls

Fred - I have wanted one of these - but they are not cheap. I found them in the Chef's Catalog. Check this out.

Work It Baby

The glass bowl is very heavy and the handle adds so much width to the bowl, pouring brings your elbow higher than your shoulder. It's not ergonomic. It is fun to watch thengs get germixed in a glass bowl.

Walking the tight rope of being a pain in the neck instead of tongue in cheek is where I end up.

And tongue in cheek is exactly how I took it

Can't say I know the "smell of warmed SOS..."

Guess I'll have to get a box of SOS pads and dig into that stove.. LOL

hmm.

The used to call me stove-stop Steve, because I always threw in cleaning the stove when I was washing-up the dishes and pots/pans at my hosts' place.

Hint (not that you need any!)

Cleanser
brillo / s.o.s
rinse
dish soap
rinse
windex or equivalent!

in that order!

I think there are procelain (i.e. not chrome) bowls and rings (sometimes re-fashioned as one piece instead of two pieces i.e. bowl and ring) that have a "U" cut in them insted of an opening such that they (the bowls) can come off/out even if the elements just tilt up instead of unplugging.

burner rings!!!

Fred, dont be afraid to spray them with oven cleaner,just take paper towels and put between unit and drip pan, then take a paper towell and lay over burner, spray GENTLY at close range so you dont get it everywhere,let it set overnite,then wipe everything off with towels spray with windex to get off residue, if you get a lot of spray on the unit itself,it will turn white when heated,if that happens, wad up some waxed paper and go over the hot unit, oh yeah, dont use that worthless fume free stuff,if it doesen't have lye it just wont clean...Hans
