In reading through some of your basic tips for cleaning - how to sweep and mop floors, how to clean an iron etc, I thought I would send you something that my mother-in-law taught me over 30 years ago:
How to clean the drip pans under the burners on your stove:

1. Remove the drip pans from the stove and place them in a plastic bag that you can tie up tightly.

2. Pour 1/2 cup of ammonia over the pans and seal the bag.

3. leave the bag sitting in the sink (as it may leak a little) for several hours. I like to do this first thing in the morning and leave it sit while I'm at work all day.

4. Open the bag and you will find that the fumes from the ammonia has softened the crusty build up on your drip pans so that you can wash it away very easily.

NOTE: Do not pull the dials from the stove off and put into this bag no matter how dirty and greasy they may be. I learned the hard way that the ammonia can strip away any writing on those dials.
