A weak or flickering flame on your gas stove isn’t just inconvenient—it can slow cooking, waste fuel, and signal grease or debris buildup. Luckily, with simple tools you likely already have at home, you can restore your stove’s flame and extend its life.
What You’ll Need: An aluminum-safe cleaner, a wooden stick or slim tool, soft cloths or tissue, and optionally a small brush or pipe cleaner.
Turn off burners and let them cool. Disconnect the gas supply, then remove grates, burner covers, and nozzle caps. Place removable parts in a sink or tray for easier cleaning.
Apply aluminum-safe cleaner to the metal nozzles and let it sit 5–10 minutes to dissolve grease or food particles. Avoid harsh chemicals. For a natural option, use a baking soda and vinegar paste.
