Cleaning cast iron stove grates

[sparrowgrass]

A warning about oven cleaner--yes, it does work for enameled cast iron. But do not, I repeat, do not spray it on the top of your gas stove. It won't hurt the finish on the stove top, and it does a great job of getting burned on stuff off, but you WILL ruin the orifices on the stove.

Ask me how I know and how much it cost me. No, on second thought, don't ask, I will just start sobbing again.

I use oven cleaner too, then a run through the DW with no issues, mine are enamel coated as well. They don't come out "spotless" but good enough for me.
